Reddit API Client

Build Status Latest Stable Version Latest Stable Version Minimum PHP Version

This is a PHP client for Reddit's API, built on the Guzzle web service client framework.

As a quick taster, here's some sample code:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$clientFactory = new Reddit\Api\Client\Factory;
$client = $clientFactory->createClient();

$login = $client->getCommand(
    'Login',
    array(
        'api_type' => 'json',
        'user'     => 'Example_User',
        'passwd'   => 'password123',
    )
);
$login->execute();

$submit = $client->getCommand(
    'Submit',
    array(
        'sr'    => 'programming',
        'kind'  => 'link',
        'title' => 'Mongo DB Is Web Scale',
        'url'   => 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2F-DItXtZs',
    )
);
$submit->execute();

Installation

This project is packaged with Composer. Add the following the the require section of your project's composer.json:

"zetaphor/reddit-api-client": "dev-master"

After that just run php composer.phar update and you're good to go! If you have any trouble, or want more detail, I've set up a working example "Reddit Console" project for reference purposes.

Development Status

Reddit's API is big, and the service description JSON in the ./api/ directory is incomplete.

Supported URIs

  • api/login/{user}
  • api/me.json
  • api/register
  • api/submit
  • api/del
  • api/vote
  • api/comment
  • api/message
  • by_id/t3_{id}.json
  • r/{subreddit}.json
  • user/{id}.json
  • user/{id}/about.json

The above list covers many of the most common interactions such as logging in, reading and posting links and comments, and casting votes. However, there are dozens more services available in Reddit's API, and simple pull requests adding entries to the service description JSON are very welcome.
