Unofficial Python wrapper for the public devRant API.
Based on the unofficial wrapper made by "danillouz" (here) and API docs from "abhn" (here).
From the official site: devRant is a fun community for developers to share and bond over their successes and frustrations with code, tech, and life as a programmer. devRant is built by just one developer (devRant: @dfox Twitter: @dfoxinator) and one designer (devRant: @trogus Twitter: @tim_rogus) working on this project nights and weekends.
Install using pip
pip install pydevrant
Currently, you can:
- Get user ID
- Get rants
- Get a rant with comments
- Search rants
- Get user profile
Results are JSON-formatted data.
Find the top rants but limit the results to just one
from pydevrant import *
from pprint import pprint #just for nice output on terminal
elem = RantParser()
result = elem.get_rants(sort="top",limit=1)
pprint(result)The output will be something like this (some parts removed for brevity):
