geddit

GoDoc Build Status

Geddit is a convenient abstraction for the reddit.com API in Go. This library is a WIP. It should have some API coverage, but does not yet include things like the new OAuth model.

examples

See godoc for OAuth examples.

Here is an example usage of the old, cookie authentication method:

(NOTE: You will be heavily rate-limited by reddit's API when using cookies. Consider switching to OAuth).

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/jzelinskie/geddit"
)

// Please don't handle errors this way.
func main() {
	// Login to reddit
	session, _ := geddit.NewLoginSession(
		"novelty_account",
		"password",
		"gedditAgent v1",
	)

	// Set listing options
	subOpts := geddit.ListingOptions{
		Limit: 10,
	}

	// Get reddit's default frontpage
	submissions, _ := session.DefaultFrontpage(geddit.DefaultPopularity, subOpts)

	// Get our own personal frontpage
	submissions, _ = session.Frontpage(geddit.DefaultPopularity, subOpts)

	// Get specific subreddit submissions, sorted by new
	submissions, _ = session.SubredditSubmissions("hockey", geddit.NewSubmissions, subOpts)

	// Print title and author of each submission
	for _, s := range submissions {
		fmt.Printf("Title: %s\nAuthor: %s\n\n", s.Title, s.Author)
	}

	// Upvote the first post
	session.Vote(submissions[0], geddit.UpVote)
}
