Rego Gopher

Reddit API bindings for Go. The primary focus of this package is to be a tool for writing bots and not a full API implementation.

}

TODO

  • Unauthenticated sessions should use http by default to take advantage of Reddit caches
    • Hitting Reddit caches are 'free' requests and do not count against rate limits
    • This will be configurable for cases where TLS is desired

Types

type APIError 

type APIError struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

APIError represents a Reddit API error

Example 
session := NewSession("RegoBot/1.0")
retry:
_, err := session.Comment("t3_xxxxx", "This is a demo")
if err != nil {
	if apierr, ok := err.(APIError); ok {
		if apierr.IsRatelimited() {
			fmt.Printf("We are being ratelimited for %d minutes\n", int(apierr.Duration().Minutes()))
			time.Sleep(apierr.Duration())
			goto retry
		}
	}
}

Output:

func (APIError) Duration 

func (e APIError) Duration() time.Duration

Duration returns the time remaining of active ratelimit for the error

func (APIError) Error 

func (e APIError) Error() string

}

Link represents a subreddit post link

type Lister 

type Lister interface {
	Comments() []Comment
	Items() []interface{}
	Links() []Link
}

The Lister interface wraps methods used to extract Thing items from a Reddit Listing class.

None of the methods return errors, as the data contained has already been unmarshalled once. It is assumed that the data is syntactically correct JSON and errors can safely be ignored.

Any malformed/unrecognised Thing item will be silently dropped.

type Listing 

type Listing struct {
	Data struct {
		After    string  `json:"after"`
		Before   string  `json:"before"`
		Children []Thing `json:"children"`
		Modhash  string  `json:"modhash"`
	} `json:"data"`
	Kind string `json:"kind"` // Always "Listing"
}

Listing represents the Reddit Listing class documented at https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/JSON#listing.

func (*Listing) Comments 

func (l *Listing) Comments() []Comment

Comments return a slice of Comment types

func (*Listing) Items 

func (l *Listing) Items() []interface{}

Items return a slice of interface{} items for cases where the caller want to do type assertions. 

func (l *Listing) Links() []Link

Links return a slice of Link types

type Page 

type Page struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*Page) Next 

func (p *Page) Next() (*Listing, error)

Next returns a set of Thing items resulting from the requested API call.

Consecutive calls will return subsequent items indefinitely.

func (*Page) Previous 

func (p *Page) Previous() (*Listing, error)

Previous returns a set of Thing items resulting from the requested API call.

Consecutive calls will return preceding items until source is exhausted.

func (*Page) SetLimit 

func (p *Page) SetLimit(limit int)

SetLimit sets the max number of links returned from calls to Previous and Next

type Paginator 

type Paginator interface {
	Next() (Lister, error)
	Previous() (Lister, error)
	SetLimit(int)
}

Paginator is the interface that wraps methods for pagination of the Listing type

type RateLimit 

type RateLimit struct {
	Remaining int
	Reset     int
	Used      int
}

RateLimit provides access to the Reddit ratelimit values for a session

type Session 

type Session struct {
	Cookie string // Session cookie (empty if not logged in)

	RateLimit RateLimit // RateLimit usage is updated on each API request
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Session is an active Reddit session that initially is unauthenticated. An authenticated session can be set up using Session.Login or Session.SetCookie.

func NewSession 

func NewSession(ua string) *Session

NewSession creates an unauthenticated Reddit session

func (*Session) Comment 

func (s *Session) Comment(p string, t string) (*CommentResult, error)

Comment posts a reply to parent post p using the raw text t. A successfull post will return the new comments fullname id.

func (*Session) Listing 

func (s *Session) Listing(sub string) *Page

Listing returns a paginated Listing wrapped in a Page type

Example 
session := NewSession("RegoBot/1.0")
page := session.Listing("r/worldnews/new")
page.SetLimit(5)
list, err := page.Next()
if err != nil {
	log.Print(err)
}
for _, l := range list.Links() {
	if l.Selfpost {
		continue
	}
	fmt.Printf("Title: %30s Url: %s\n", l.Title, l.URL)
}

Output:

func (*Session) Login 

func (s *Session) Login(u string, p string) error

Login authenticates the current session using username and password

Example 
session := NewSession("RegoBot/1.0")
err := session.Login("username", "password")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

Output:

func (*Session) Me 

func (s *Session) Me() (*Account, error)

Me returns Account type populated with data for the currently authenticated user. This is equivalent to using Session.User() and providing the authenticated username.

func (*Session) SetCookie 

func (s *Session) SetCookie(c string) error

SetCookie authenticates the current session using a pre-authenticated cookie

func (*Session) User 

func (s *Session) User(u string) (*Account, error)

User returns Account type populated with data for user u.

type Thing 

type Thing struct {
	Data json.RawMessage `json:"data"` // A data structure formatted based on kind
	ID   string          `json:"id"`   // Item identifier, e.g. "c3v7f8u"
	Kind string          `json:"kind"` // Kind denotes the item's type.
	Name string          `json:"name"` // Fullname of item, e.g. "t1_c3v7f8u"
}

Thing endpoint represents the Reddit thing base class. https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/JSON#thing-reddit-base-class

type Votable 

type Votable struct {
	Downs int  `json:"downs"`           // Number of downvotes. (includes own)
	Likes bool `json:"likes,omitempty"` // True if thing is liked by the user
	Ups   int  `json:"ups"`             // Number of upvotes. (includes own)
}

Votable implements the Votable class
