# Or create object then authenticate. Useful if you need to authenticate more than once, for example if you were to check the inboxes of several accounts my $reddit = Reddit::Client->new( user_agent => 'MyApp/1.0', ); # Get oauth token. This replaces the "login" method. $reddit->authorize( client_id => $client_id, secret => $secret, username => $username, password => $password, ); $reddit->submit_link( subreddit => 'perl', title => 'Perl is still alive!', url => 'http://www.perl.org' ); my $links = $reddit->fetch_links(subreddit => '/r/perl', limit => 10); foreach (@{$links->{items}}) { ... } =head1 DESCRIPTION Reddit::Client provides methods and simple object wrappers for objects exposed by the Reddit API. This module handles HTTP communication, oauth session management, and communication with Reddit's external API. For more information about the Reddit API, see L. =head1 CONSTANTS VIEW_HOT "Hot" links feed VIEW_NEW "New" links feed VIEW_RISING "Rising" links feed VIEW_CONTROVERSIAL "Controversial" links feed VIEW_TOP "Top" links feed VIEW_DEFAULT Default feed if not specified (VIEW_HOT) DEFAULT_LIMIT The default number of links to be retried (25) VOTE_UP Up vote VOTE_DOWN Down vote VOTE_NONE Remove any vote SUBREDDITS_HOME List reddits on the homepage SUBREDDITS_POPULAR List popular reddits SUBREDDITS_NEW List new reddits SUBREDDITS_MINE List reddits for which the logged in user is subscribed SUBREDDITS_CONTRIB List reddits for which the logged in user is a contributor SUBREDDITS_MOD List reddits for which the logged in user is a moderator =head1 GLOBALS =over =item $DEBUG When set to true, outputs a small amount of debugging information. =back =head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS =over =item new(user_agent => , [client_id =>, secret =>, username=>, password =>]) Begins a new reddit session. If C is provided, it will be read and parsed as JSON. If session data is found, it is restored. Otherwise, a new session is started. Session data does not restore the user_agent string of the original session. =item authenticated Returns true if there is an oauth token. =item save_session($path) Saves the current session to C<$path>. Throws an error if the user is not logged in. C<$path> is only required if the Reddit::Client instance was created without the C parameter. =item load_session($path) Attempts to load the session from C<$path>. When successful, returns true and stores the session file path for future use. =item login($usr, $pwd) Attempts to log the user in. Throws an error on failure. =item me Returns a Reddit::Client::Account object. =item list_subreddits($type) Returns a list of Reddit::Client::SubReddit objects for C<$type>, where C<$type> is a C constant. =item my_subreddits Syntactic sugar for C. =item home_subreddits Syntactic sugar for C. =item mod_subreddits Syntactic sugar for C. =item contrib_subreddits Syntactic sugar for C. =item popular_subreddits Syntactic sugar for C. =item new_subreddits Syntactic sugar for C. =item info($item_id) Returns a has of information about C<$item_id>, which must be a complete name (e.g., t3_xxxxx). =item find_subreddits($query) Returns a list of SubReddit objects matching C<$query>. =item fetch_links(subreddit => ..., view => ..., limit => ..., before => ..., after => ...) Returns a list of links from a reddit page. If C is specified, the list of links is returned from the desired subreddit. Otherwise, the links will be from the front page. C specifieds the feed (e.g. C or C). C may be used to limit the number of objects returned, and C and C denote the placeholders for slicing the feed up, just as the reddit urls themselves do. Data is returned as a hash with three keys, I, I, and I. =item delete_item(name => ...) Deletes a post or comment. The object's full name is required. =item submit_link(subreddit => ..., title => ..., url => ...) Submits a link to a reddit. Returns the id of the new link. =item submit_text(subreddit => ..., title => ..., text => ...) Submits a self-post to a reddit. Returns the id of the new post. =item get_subreddit_comments([subreddit => ...][before => ...][after => ...][limit => ...]) Return a list of Reddit::Client::Comment objects from a subreddit or multi. All arguments are optional. If subreddit is ommitted, a multi of the subscribed subreddits from the authenticating account will be returned (i.e. what you see when you visit reddit.com's from page and are logged in). If limit is ommitted, Reddit's default limit of 25 is used. If limit is present but false, this is interpreted as no limit and the maximum is returned (100). =item get_comments($permalink) Disabled in the current version (0.93). Returns a list ref of Reddit::Client::Comment objects underneath the the specified URL C<$permalink>. Unfortunately, this is the only method available via the API. Comments may be more easily accessed via the Link object, which implicitly provides the C<$permalink> parameter. my $links = $reddit->fetch_links(...); foreach (@{$links->{items}}) { my $comments = $_->comments(); } =item submit_comment(parent_id => ..., text => ...) Submits a new comment underneath C. =item vote(item_id => ..., direction => ...) Votes for C. C is one of C, C, or C. =item save($item_id) Saves C<$item_id> under the user's account. =item unsave($item_id) Unsaves C<$item_id> under the user's account. =item hide($item_id) Hides $. Throws an error if the user does not have permission to hide the item in question. =item unhide($item_id) Unhides $. Throws an error if the user does not have permission to unhide the item in question. =back =head1 INTERNAL ROUTINES =over =item DEBUG When C<$Reddit::Client::DEBUG> is true, acts as syntactic sugar for warn(sprintf(@_)). Used to provided logging. =item require_login Throws an error if the user is not logged in. No longer used. =item subreddit Strips slashes and leading /r from a subreddit to ensure that only the "display name" of the subreddit is returned. =item request Performs a request to reddit's servers using LWP. If the user is logged in, adds the "uh" and "modhash" parameters to POST queries as well as adding the reddit-specified cookie value for reddit_session. =item json_request Wraps C, configuring the parameters to perform the request with an api_type of "json". After the request is complete, parses the JSON result and throws and error if one is specified in the result contents. Otherwise, returns the json data portion of the result. =item api_json_request Wraps C, getting method and path from an API_CONSTANT. =back =head1 AUTHOR Jeff Ober L =head1 LICENSE BSD license =cut
