# ApeWisdom Reddit Scanner

Scan Reddit (r/wallstreetbets, r/stocks, etc.) for trending tickers and sentiment spikes.

## Usage

This skill uses a Python script to fetch live data from ApeWisdom.

### Basic Scan (Top Mentions)
Get the top 20 most discussed stocks right now.

```bash

```

### Find Spikes (Momentum)

```

### Specific Subreddits

```bash
# WallStreetBets only

```
