1
+ # Reddit API
2
+
3
+ A lightweight wrapper that is unobtrusive and intuitive to use.
4
+
5
+ Features:
6
+ - Full OAuth support and token management
7
+ - Multiple Users running in one script
8
+ - Request throttling
9
+ - Full API wrapper for all endpoints / objects
10
+ - Automatic http retry
11
+
12
+ ## Installation
13
+
14
+ install it as:
15
+
16
+ $ gem install reddit-api
17
+
18
+ ## Usage
19
+
20
+ Follow the Reddit API Guidelines: https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/API
21
+
22
+ First get a application token / secret for sign in from: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
23
+
24
+
25
+ ## Creating A User
26
+ We need a user:
27
+ ```ruby
28
+ user = Reddit::Services::User.new "username", "password", "script_id", "script_secret", "User Agent Title"
29
+ ```
30
+
31
+ ## Retrieving Data
32
+ Getting back data is simple. Use The `Reddit::Services::*` Module and functions to retrieve data.
33
+ ```ruby
34
+ user_info = Reddit::Services::Account.get_me user
35
+ ```
36
+
37
+ Getting back a subreddit takes a bit more info.
38
+
39
+ ```ruby
40
+ subreddit_posts = Reddit::Services::Listings.get_hot user, basepath_subreddit: "subreddit_name_without_r_slash", limit:50
41
+ ```
42
+ note: anytime there is a `basepath_` variable the value is substituted into the URL with whatever is after the _ .In this case "basepath_subreddit" defines the "subreddit" part of the path.
43
+
44
+ note: to list the available fields prepend `print_` to any method call as shown for `get_hot` below.
45
+
46
+ ```ruby
47
+ [1] pry(main)> subreddit_posts = Reddit::Services::Listings.print_get_hot
48
+ => ["basepath_subreddit", "after", "before", "count", "limit", "show", "sr_detail"]
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ Getting back a comments requires multiple basepath substitutions.
52
+ ```ruby
53
+ subreddit_comments = Reddit::Services::Listings.get_comments_article user, basepath_article:"article_id_from_permalink", basepath_subreddit: "subreddit_without_r_slash", limit:50
54
+ ```
55
+ note: the two "basepath_" variables because the url requires not only a subreddit but a post ID in the basepath.
56
+
57
+ Debug Logging can be enabled or disabled at any time with:
58
+
59
+ ## Retrieve Batches From Listing
60
+
61
+ The `Listings` group of endpoints have a helper method `batch_` that can be used in place of `get_`. Bath will make multiple calls to the endpoint and return the complete set.
62
+
63
+ A batch method must pass `page_size: #` and `max_size: #`
64
+ - `page_size` is the number of entries to request per call
65
+ - `max_size` is the maximum number of entries expected, batch may return before max_size is met because all entries have been retrieved.
66
+ - `remove_sticky` (default true, optional) removes entries that are stickied.
67
+
68
+ ```ruby
69
+ subreddit_all_posts = Reddit::Services::Listings.batch_new user, basepath_subreddit: "subreddit_name_without_r_slash", page_size:100, max_size:2000
70
+ ```
71
+ note: There is API limitations that limits Listing endpoints to only cache the last 1000 entries and only allows a maximum of 100 entries per page.
72
+
73
+ ## Logging
74
+
75
+ ```ruby
76
+ Reddit::Internal::Logger.log.level = Log4r::DEBUG
77
+ ```
78
+
79
+ Valid Log Levels are `DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL`
80
+
81
+ ## Examples
82
+
83
+ A simple full example to retrieve a subreddit and gather the domains
84
+
85
+ ```ruby
86
+ require "reddit/api"
87
+ # Sign In User, since we are just making a maximum of 10 calls throttling has been disabled.
88
+ user = Reddit::Services::User.new "username", "password", "script_id", "secret", "user-agent-title", request_throttle: false
89
+ # Retrieve Data
90
+ til_recent = Reddit::Services::Listings.batch_new user, basepath_subreddit: "todayilearned", page_size:100, max_size:500
91
+
92
+ # Process Results (Create a hash of domain -> # of posts)
93
+ posted_urls = {}
94
+ til_recent.each do |post|
95
+ domain = post["data"]["url"].split("/")[2]
96
+ posted_urls[domain] = 0 unless posted_urls.include?(domain)
97
+
98
+ posted_urls[domain] += 1
99
+ end
100
+ # Delete One offs
101
+ posted_urls.reject! {|k,v| v < 2 }
102
+ # Display results
103
+ puts JSON.pretty_generate(posted_urls)
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+
107
+ ## Contributing
108
+
109
+ To run rspec a file for configuring a user is required:
110
+
111
+ data/rspec_user.json
112
+ ```json
113
+ {
114
+ "user": "",
115
+ "password": "",
116
+ "service_id": "",
117
+ "secret": ""
118
+ }
119
+ ```
120
+ note: rspec will fail if the reddit service are unavaliable.
