new-rawr

Welcome to new-rawr, the new Rust API Wrapper for Reddit. This library provides simple, pain-free access to the Reddit API in Rust. If you want to create a Reddit bot, scrape data from the API or create a web application powered by Reddit's API, rawr can help to do this simply and effectively.

What is different over OG Rawr

This updates all the depends, and the rust version to the latest version.

Features

• Support for password-based authentication (with OAuth support, so your app is future-proof!) and anonymous authentication.
• Iterable post and comment listings that automatically fetch data from the API as necessary.
• 'Streams' to fetch the latest threads/comments/messages that update automatically by polling the API - ideal for bots that react to new posts.

Examples

extern crate new - rawr;
use rawr::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    // Creates a new client to access the reddit API. You need to set a user agent so Reddit knows
    // who is using this client.
    let client = RedditClient::new("your user agent here", AnonymousAuthenticator::new());
    // Access the subreddit /r/rust.
    let subreddit = client.subreddit("rust");
    // Gets the hot listing of /r/rust. If the API request fails, we will panic with `expect`.
    let mut hot_listing = subreddit.hot(ListingOptions::default()).expect("Could not fetch post listing!");
    // Iterates through the top 50 posts of /r/rust. If you do not `take(n)`, this iterator will
    // continue forever!
    for post in hot_listing.take(50) {
        println!("{}", post.title());
    }
}
