reddit-api-generator

Transforms the auto generated Reddit API into structured formats for consumption by anyone looking to write a wrapper for the Reddit API.

The dist folder contains the various outputs that can be consumed.

Data Format

The data format is a flat array of endpoints.

Every endpoint has enough data with it to create a call to the Reddit API. Here is a sample of one endpoint [/r/subreddit]/new:

[
    {
        "path": "/r/$subreddit/new",
        "url": {
            "oauth": "https://oauth.reddit.com/r/$subreddit/new",
            "standard": "http://www.reddit.com/r/$subreddit/new"
        },
        "oauth": [
            "read"
        ],
        "extensions": [
            ".json",
            ".xml"
        ],
        "method": "GET",
        "describe": "This endpoint is a listing.",
        "args": {
            "after": {
                "describe": "fullname of a thing"
            },
            "before": {
                "describe": "fullname of a thing"
            },
            "count": {
                "describe": "a positive integer (default: 0)"
            },
            "limit": {
                "describe": "the maximum number of items desired (default: 25, maximum: 100)"
            },
            "show": {
                "describe": "(optional) the string all"
            }
        }
    },
    {/* another endpoint */},
    {/* and another... */}
]

Url parameters

Sometimes there are parameters in the url. These are represented with a "$" prepending the name of the variable. Given this path, the path in the endpoint will look like:

/api/multi/$multipath/r/$srname
