Here are a few tutorials meant to get you started quickly with using the reddit API. It's meant to take no more than a weekend to go through and provide you with the building blocks you need to do your own projects using Reddit.
NOTE: Reddit has a limit of 1000 values per request. See the Pushshift Notebook on how to get around that.
If this is your first tutorial you've used please start with installing miniconda and cloning the repo.
Install miniconda https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html (choose latest python version under your OS. Likely 64 bit)
git clone https://github.com/rogerfitz/tutorials
cd tutorials
The exact python version doesn't matter because with each project I'll have you create a different environment with the proper version of python.
From the tutorials directory
git pull origin master
cd subreddit_analysis
conda create -n subreddit_analysis python=3.9 pandas=1.3.2 jupyter=1.0.0 matplotlib=3.4.2 -y
conda activate subreddit_analysis
pip install -r requirements.txt

Feedback welcome!
I've considered adding a .py example with usage like python analyze_subreddit --name learnpython. If you'd like me to make that let me know
