Overview

Package reddit is a small wrapper around the Reddit API.

It provides two handles for the Reddit API. Logged out users can claim a Script handle.

rate := 5 * time.Second
script, _ := NewScript("graw:doc_script:0.3.1 by /u/yourusername", rate)
post, _ := script.Thread("r/programming/comments/5du93939")
fmt.Printf("%s posted \"%s\"!", post.Author, post.Title)

Logged in users can claim a Bot handle with a superset of the former's features.

cfg := BotConfig{
  Agent: "graw:doc_demo_bot:0.3.1 by /u/yourusername"
  // Your registered app info from following:
  // https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/OAuth2
  App: App{
    ID:     "sdf09ofnsdf",
    Secret: "skldjnfksjdnf",
    Username: "yourbotusername",
    Password: "yourbotspassword",
  }
}
bot, _ := NewBot(cfg)
bot.SendMessage("roxven", "Thanks for making this Reddit API!", "It's ok.")

Requests made by this API are rate limited with no bursting. All interfaces exported by this package have goroutine safe implementations, but when shared by many goroutines some calls may block for multiples of the rate limit interval.

This API for accessing feeds from Reddit is low level, built specifically for graw. If you are interested in a simple high level event feed, see graw.

Types

type Account

type Account interface {
	// Reply posts a reply to something on reddit. The behavior depends on
	// what is being replied to. For
	//
	//   messages, this sends a private message reply.
	//   posts, this posts a top level comment.
	//   comments, this posts a comment reply.
	//
	// Use .Name on the parent post, message, or comment to find its
	// name.
	Reply(parentName, text string) error
	GetReply(parentName, text string) (Submission, error)

	// SendMessage sends a private message to a user.
	SendMessage(user, subject, text string) error

	// PostSelf makes a text (self) post to a subreddit.
	PostSelf(subreddit, title, text string) error
	GetPostSelf(subreddit, title, text string) (Submission, error)

	// PostLink makes a link post to a subreddit.
	PostLink(subreddit, title, url string) error
	GetPostLink(subreddit, title, url string) (Submission, error)
}

Account defines behaviors only an account can perform on Reddit.

type App

type App struct {
	// ID and Secret are used to claim an OAuth2 grant the bot's account
	// previously authorized.
	ID     string
	Secret string

	// Username and Password are used to authorize with the endpoint.
	Username string
	Password string
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

App holds all the information needed to identify as a registered app on Reddit. If you are unfamiliar with this information, you can find it in your "apps" tab on reddit; see this tutorial: https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/OAuth2

type Bot

type Bot interface {
	Account
	Lurker
	Scanner
}

Bot defines the behaviors of a logged in Reddit bot.

func NewBot

func NewBot(c BotConfig) (Bot, error)

NewBot returns a logged in handle to the Reddit API.

func NewBotFromAgentFile

func NewBotFromAgentFile(filename string, rate time.Duration) (Bot, error)

NewBotFromAgentFile calls NewBot with a config built from an agent file. An agent file is a convenient way to store your bot's account information. See https://github.com/turnage/graw/wiki/agent-files

type BotConfig

type BotConfig struct {
	// Agent is the user-agent sent in all requests the bot makes through
	// this package.
	Agent string
	// App is the information for your registration on Reddit.
	// If you are not familiar with this, read:
	// https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/OAuth2
	App App
	// Rate is the minimum amount of time between requests. If Rate is
	// configured lower than 1 second, the it will be ignored; Reddit's API
	// rules cap OAuth2 clients at 60 requests per minute. See package
	// overview for rate limit information.
	Rate time.Duration
	// Custom HTTP client
	Client *http.Client
}

BotConfig configures a Reddit bot's behavior with the Reddit package.

Comment represents a comment on Reddit (Reddit type t1_). https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/JSON#comment-implements-votable--created

func (*Comment) IsTopLevel

type Harvest

type Harvest struct {

Harvest is a set of all possible elements that Reddit could return in a listing.

Typically the items returned in this harvest are flat. You will not find the comment tree for each post in their `Replies` field. This is because that can be a lot of data. If you want a full comment tree, use the `Thread` method on the bot with the post's `Permalink`.

type Scanner

type Scanner interface {
	// Listing returns a harvest from a listing endpoint at Reddit.
	//
	// There are many things to consider when using this. A listing on
	// Reddit is like an infinite, unstable list. It stretches functionally
	// infinitely forward and backward in time, and elements from it vanish
	// over time for many reasons (users delete their posts, posts get
	// caught in a spam filter, mods remove them, etc).
	//
	// The "after" parameter is the name (in the form tx_xxxxxx, found by
	// the Name field of any Reddit struct defined in this package) of an
	// element known to be in the list. If an empty string the latest 100
	// elements are returned.
	//
	// The way to subscribe to a listing is continually poll this, and keep
	// track of your reference point, and replace it if it gets deleted or
	// dropped from the listing for any reason, which is nontrivial. If your
	// reference point becomes invalid, you will get no elements in the
	// harvest and have no way to find your place unless you planned ahead.
	//
	// If you want a stream where all of this is handled for you, see graw
	// or graw/streams.
	Listing(path, after string) (Harvest, error)
	ListingWithParams(path string, params map[string]string) (Harvest, error)
}

Scanner defines a low level interface for fetching reading Reddit listings.

type Script

type Script interface {
	Lurker
	Scanner
}

Script defines the behaviors of a logged out Reddit script.

func NewScript

func NewScript(agent string, rate time.Duration) (Script, error)

NewScript returns a Script handle to Reddit's API which always sends the given agent in the user-agent header of its requests and makes requests with no less time between them than rate. The minimum respected value of rate is 2 seconds, because Reddit's API rules cap logged out non-OAuth clients at 30 requests per minute.

func NewScriptFromConfig

func NewScriptFromConfig(config ScriptConfig) (Script, error)

NewScriptFromConfig returns a Script handle to Reddit's API from ScriptConfig

type ScriptConfig

type ScriptConfig struct {
	// Agent is the user-agent sent in all requests the bot makes through
	// this package.
	Agent string
	// Rate is the minimum amount of time between requests.
	Rate time.Duration
	// Custom HTTP client
	Client *http.Client
}

type Submission

type Submission struct {
	ID   string `mapstructure:"id"`
	Name string `mapstructure:"name"`
	URL  string `mapstructure:"url"`
}
