Request: allow multi (me/m) watching. I'm going to work on this and may submit a pull request if I get it working.

If I install via nom install --save reddit-snooper, I don't have access to the getMultiWatcher function.

If you subscribe to commets/posts of a subredit which doesn't exist (because it has been deleted) the module crashes with a null pointer exception in watcher.js line 67:
let children = body.data.children
body.data is undefined in that case. Please add add check for this and return a proper error instead.

version: 1.0.1

Right now it's possible to listen for comments across Reddit or a specific sub. Is it possible to watch for comments on multis?

There appears to be an issue with using the "url" npm library, specifically line 84 of api.js. First of all, in the url module that was installed, url.URL is not a function. Then url.Url().toString() returned an object.

My fix:

construct_url(path) {
     let oauth_endpoint = "https://oauth.reddit.com"
     return `${oauth_endpoint}${path}`;
 }

Using the following snippet results in the message Requested too many items (reddit does not keep this large of a listing):

this._snooper.watcher.getPostWatcher('all')
    .on('post', function(post) {
        //...
    })
    .on('error', console.error)

This is my configuration (taken from the README):

this._snooper = new Snooper({
        app_id: '<redacted>',
        api_secret: '<redacted>',
        user_agent: '<redacted>',
        automatic_retries: true, 
        api_requests_per_minuite: 60
    });

When I start a watcher for a subreddit, e.g.
snooper.watcher.getPostWatcher('subreddit')
everything works correctly, but if I try to get the top posts of such subreddit, e.g.
snooper.watcher.getPostWatcher('subreddit/top')
or the controversial ones e.g.
snooper.watcher.getPostWatcher('subreddit/controversial')
I alway get this: "Requested too many items (reddit does not keep this large of a listing)"
Am I missing something here?
