A partial implementation of the Reddit API. Includes support for many API endpoints, as well as LINQ-style paging of results.
var reddit = new Reddit();
var user = reddit.LogIn("username", "password");
var subreddit = reddit.GetSubreddit("/r/example");
subreddit.Subscribe();
var posts = subreddit.GetNew();
foreach (var post in posts.Take(25))
{
if (post.Title == "What is my karma?")
{
// Note: This is an example. Bots are not permitted to cast votes automatically.
post.Upvote();
var comment = post.Comment(string.Format("You have {0} link karma!", post.Author.LinkKarma));
comment.Distinguish(DistinguishType.Moderator);
}
}
Important note: Make sure you use .Take(int)
when working with pagable content. For example, don't do this:
var all = reddit.GetRSlashAll();
foreach (var post in all)
{
// ...
}
This will cause you to page through everything that has ever been posted on Reddit. Better:
var all = reddit.GetRSlashAll();
foreach (var post in all.Take(25))
{
// ...
}
Here's another example: you've made a bot to periodically check your subreddit's new page for things to automatically remove:
var subreddit = reddit.GetSubreddit("/r/myawesomesubreddit");
var newPosts = subreddit.GetNew();
var latest = newPosts.Skip(24).First();
while (true)
{
// Gets all posts since the last post checked
var toCheck = newPosts.TakeWhile(p => p != latest).ToArray();
CheckPosts(toCheck);
Thread.Sleep(60000);
}
RedditSharp is developed with the following workflow:
- Nothing happens for weeks
- Someone needs it to do something it doesn't already do
- That person implements that something and submits a pull request
- Repeat
If it doesn't have a feature that you want it to have, add it! The code isn't that scary.
