PHP-script-wrapper-for-reddit

A wrapper for reddit's API using the password grandtype

This wrapper utilizes reddit's "password" grand_type to allow people to make cron driven scripts/bots. If you are looking for a wrapper to allows users to login to your script I recommend looking in /u/jcleblanc's php wrapper.

Usage

Go to your reddit app preferences and create a new app of the script type. The redirect uri can be fictional as it will not be used.

You can then simply use it as follows

<?php
require('reddit.php');


$reddit = new Reddit("USER", "PASS", "CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET"); 

$raw = $reddit->getRaw('r/history.json');

$reddit->submitComment('t3_IDGOESHERE', 'test');

?>

When successful the wrapper will return a object containing both a header and body property. The header contains the return headers from curl, which allow you to implement rate limiting in a way you see fit. The body contains the json as returned by reddit converted to an object.

In case of a failure on authentication level the wrapper will die.

When the API returns errors it will throw an exception for those specific calls and return those instead of the object payload.

Api methods

Very much a work in progress

getRaw

Allows you to do a get request for any reddit url. Simply input the part after reddit.com/ so for example for https://www.reddit.com/r/history.json you use r/history.json

$reddit->getRaw('r/history.json');

getMe

$reddit->getMe();

getMeKarma

$reddit->getMeKarma();

getMePrefs

$reddit->getMePrefs();

getListing

Get a listing of a subreddit. Takes a subreddit (when not provided defaults to all) without /r/ and an array of GET parameters

$reddit->getListing('history', array("limit" => 1));

submitComment

Submit a comment, takes a fullname and comment content as input.

$reddit->submitComment('t3_IDGOESHERE', 'test');
