reddit-thread-stream

A writable stream for updating reddit self threads.

npm install reddit-thread-stream

Usage

The constructor accepts the credentials as first argument, and either an options map, used to create a new self thread, or the id (or fullname) of an existing thread.

Use reddit.captchaUrl(callback) or reddit.captchaStream() to get a captcha instance. The first method passes a possible error and an options map with the captcha id and url to given callback, while the second method returns a stream (with id and url properties) containing the actual captcha image.

var reddit = require('reddit-thread-stream');
 
var thread = reddit({
    username: 'test_username',
    password: 'test_password'
}, {
    subreddit: 'funny',
    title: 'My thread',
    captcha: {
        id: 'RansUtzrqG3sgGx0NT7SwQpZ39oeGagB',
        solution: 'ffvwso'
    }
});
 
thread.on('create', function(data) {
    console.log(data.url);
});
 
// Thread is created on first write
thread.write('First update');
 
// Overrides the previous text in the thread
thread.write('Second update');
 
thread.end();

Updating an existing thread using the fullname.

var thread = reddit({
    username: 'test_username',
    password: 'test_password'
}, 't3_23l21y');
 
thread.end('Third update');

The set method can be used to provide thread options after the creation of an instance.

var thread = reddit(credentials);
 
// Call before the first write
thread.set('t3_23l21y');
