Or the specific subreddits you're looking for. Such as r/aww+cats/new. Then for each post just check if they have the words you're looking for
@htcsaj123_gitlab you have a fetchMore functionality in snoowrap to get more posts. Once that errors out that's as far as you can go. You could utilize https://pushshift.io/ though as that makes it easier with searching for things
But historical fetching is very difficult in Reddit. Their search can't solve the issue and the /new, /hot etc. listing only goes so far (1000 posts at maximum)
I've never used the reddit api before and all the tutorials I find are in python
@chosensty there is a function for that https://not-an-aardvark.github.io/snoowrap/Subreddit.html#getRandomSubmission__anchor
do I start my code with const r = require('snoowrap');
nvm I found the answer in the docs
my username password client id and client secret are all 100% correcct
Hello everyone, I'm using Snoowrap currently. I can authenticate and even post links to subreddit's including flair with no problem. What I'm trying to do no is simple post a comment on a post I created and have no idea how or where to look to do that. Any help would be appreciated. So for example I create a post that is a link to an image and then I want to post a comment with text. Any ideas how to do such a thing?
@Cyanic you can use the
reply()method https://not-an-aardvark.github.io/snoowrap/Submission.html#reply__anchor
const asyncFunc = async () => {
try {
const r = new snoowrap({
userAgent: process.env.USERAGENT,
clientId: process.env.CLIENTID,
clientSecret: process.env.CLIENTSECRET,
refreshToken: process.env.REFRESHTOKEN,
});
// Submitting a link to a subreddit
r.getSubreddit('testingground4bots').submitLink({
title: getDate() + 'testing',
url: 'https://i.imgur.com/n5iOc72.gifv'}).then(function(response) {
console.log(response.permalink);
//const submission = r.getSubmission(response).reply('[this is a link](https://www.reddit.com' + response.permalink() + ') testing123');
});
}
catch (err){
console.log(err);
}
}
Console looks like this:
[Function: targetFunc] {
_promise_chain_cache: [Object: null prototype] {}
}const submitLinkRes = await r
.getSubreddit('foo')
.submitLink({
title: " some cool title",
url: link,
flair_id: fooFlair.flair_template_id});
console.log('response: ', submitLinkRes);
const reply = await r.getSubmission(submitLinkRes).reply(comment);
console.log('reply: ', reply.permalink);
console.log('reply: ', reply);
so the console log for reply is very long and obviously the reply.permalink gives the permalink to the reply. But I'm looking for the permalink of submitLinkRes and unfortunately the console log of submit LinkRes returns:
and I don't see anything else
I end up doing something like this to get the permalink of the submission
myPermalink = (reply.subreddit_name_prefixed + "/" + submitLinkRes._uri).replace(/ /g,'');But obviously that's not as nice or as good as just getting the .permalink of the submission. I suppose I'm missing something obvious yes?
how can i get*
I was running my code almost every day with no problem and now this.
I thought maybe it was the subreddit I was posting to but I changed the subreddit and still the same error.
Anyone have a clue what is going on?
