I am trying to figure out how to post a comment to a reddit post I just made.
So far I have tried saving the object that is returned when I do a submit and doing:
RedditKit.submit_comment(submit_object, "test") -- which errors with permission denied
I have tried making a link that I could put in the submit_comment but that just keeps returning nil even though within the same session I was able to make the post originally.
test_link = RedditKit.link("http://www.reddit.com/r/redditbotplaygroundsw/comments/2poh23/test_title/")
Not sure what else to try. The ruby doc says that it will return nil if I am not currently signed in but I am:

2.1.2 :021 > RedditKit.sign_in 'OMIT', "OMIT"
=> "OMIT"
2.1.2 :022 > test_link = RedditKit.link("http://www.reddit.com/r/redditbotplaygroundsw/comments/2poh23/test_title/")
=> nil

This is a private reddit I have for getting my bot working. I am the moderator and I can without issue make posts. I just can't comment.

I have a string that I am trying to post to reddit.
I can't figure out how to get it to create new lines in the post.
I tried adding '/n', tried adding 2 spaces, also tried 2 spaces followed by a '/n'.

Trying to make a redditbot. Didn't even get to do anything fun.

Here's my code:

require "redditkit"

RedditKit.sign_in "FluffyRibbot", "#{redacted}"

Here are some things you might want to know.

When iterating through comments to get all the replies in a tree, I often run into a problem where a nil object is returned as part of the initial comments array, and I'm fairly certain the top level list of comments isn't complete. It happens more frequently on links with > 200 comments.

Example code, in case I'm just missing something basic:

def iterate_through_replies( comment )
  replies = comment.replies
  if !replies.empty?
    replies.each do |r|
      iterate_through_replies( r )
    end
  end
end

link = RedditKit.link( some_full_name )
comments = RedditKit.comments( link.id )
comments.each do |c|
  iterate_through_replies( c ) 
end

At some point this error gets returned:
in 'iterate_through_replies': undefined method 'replies' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Is a comment getting parsed weirdly? Maybe this is related to this PRAW issue?

I tried:

@client = RedditKit::Client.new 'MyAccount', 'xyz'

and I get this. Using ruby 2.3.0. Ideas?

I found it unexpected that optional parameter hashes are being modified, and keys are deleted. The specific example that was tripping me up was in Links::links.
I noticed that the first set of results that were returned were from the correct ':category', and the rest were from the default.

p q_opts = {:limit=>100,:category=>:new}
#> {:limit=>100, :category=>:new}
client.links(subreddit,q_opts)
p q_opts
#>{:limit=>100}

I worked around it by cloning the hash each time I use it.

When a reddit user enables forced SSL, it seems to break the API. I've tested it using the save and unsave methods on a post. It returns a 307 redirect, and the method fails. I'm not sure what's involved to get this working. For now the fix is to disable forced SSL for the account.

reddit allows sort: http://www.reddit.com/dev/api#GET_search

I was looking into pythons praw client and rubys snoo client. Both take some stance on rate limiting. I think the docs for this gem could be improved if it was clearer.

Know if it rate limits automatically gives me a better idea of where this gem is on the features vs lightweight spectrum.

link.url returns literal ampersands as &, rather than as an ampersand.

https://github.com/samsymons/RedditKit.rb/blob/master/lib/redditkit/client/private_messages.rb#L32

reddit wants captcha and iden, but you want captcha_value and captcha_indentifier. It makes the library very painful to use.

Am I missing something from the doc or is there no way to see the upvote_ratio currently?

My use case is quite simple, I just need to fetch the latest comments given a user.

For example:

user = RedditKit.user 'foobar'
user.comments.each do |comment|
  puts #{comment.body} - #{comment.post_date}
end

Is this possible at the moment, I couldn't seem to find anything related to Comments in the source code.

Seems to be different from the other similar bug

ruby 2.2.2

Generated a brand new app (fresh install) and Im trying to use this gem.

Ive tried both ways of authenticating (modules and instances) and Im getting this error with both:

RedditKit::RequestError

Is there any known fix for this or am I missing something?

Building a bot. Reddit API limits us to 30 request per minute. Can I limit my requests so I comply with Reddit?

I'm fetching the comments for a user:

  comments.each do |comment|
    if comment.subreddit == 'Foobar'
      post = Post.new(
          author: comment.author,
          body: comment.body_html,
          permalink: comment.name,
          post_date: comment.created
      )
      post.save!
    end
  end

And I'm getting undefined method for 'name' errors. And not only for name, also for ups and downs.

Using the RubyMine debugger I can see these properties values, yet I can't access them in code or in the Watches window. Is this a known bug?

It looks like an extra forward slash has found it's way back into the permalink method. I had a look in the code, but it isn't obvious where it's happening. I don't believe that it was caused by either of the newest commits for permalink.

require 'redditkit'
reddit = RedditKit::Client.new "username", "password"
post = reddit.my_content(category: :saved).first
post.permalink
=> "http://reddit.com//r/technology/comments/2k8dqo/new_evidence_of_the_nsa_deliberately_weakening/"

Note: Using version 1.0.1

Hi, sorry if this is sort of a stupid question but I don't know where else to ask it.

So, if you put a link into the reddit's search box, then it will show you where has that link already been submitted. It will redirect to /submit?url=your_url. Now, RedditKit doesn't do redirects.

With this code, it does:

module RedditKit
  class Client
    def middleware
      @middleware ||= Faraday::Builder.new do |builder|
        builder.use Faraday::Request::UrlEncoded
        builder.use RedditKit::Response::RaiseError
        builder.use RedditKit::Response::ParseJSON
        # *These two lines below allow the redirects to happen.*
        builder.use FaradayMiddleware::FollowRedirects
        builder.adapter :net_http
      end
    end
  end
end

And without the redirects, client.search('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAAgXaMCdfI') just returned nil. Now, it returns nil only when it hasn't been submitted, a listing otherwise.

Hi!

Following the example in your documentation I got the following error

/Users/me/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/redditkit-1.0.2/lib/redditkit/client/utilities.rb:71:in '[]': no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer (TypeError) from /Users/me/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/redditkit-1.0.2/lib/redditkit/client/utilities.rb:71:in 'object_kind_from_response' from /Users/me/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/redditkit-1.0.2/lib/redditkit/client/utilities.rb:41:in 'object_class_from_response' from /Users/me/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/redditkit-1.0.2/lib/redditkit/client/utilities.rb:78:in 'object_from_response' from /Users/me/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/redditkit-1.0.2/lib/redditkit/client/users.rb:17:in 'user' from /Users/me/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/redditkit-1.0.2/lib/redditkit/client/account.rb:22:in 'sign_in' from /Users/me/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/redditkit-1.0.2/lib/redditkit.rb:23:in 'method_missing' from scripts/api_calls.rb:109:in '<main>'

My source code is as follows:

require 'redditkit' RedditKit.sign_in 'myusername', 'mypassword' subreddits = RedditKit.subscribed_subreddits

I have verified that my credentials are correct so I am not quite sure why this is happening.

I am using RedditKit to make a Reddit app with limited capabilities, with rails. I am trying to figure out how to properly persist users session after logging in. My first idea was session[:client] = RedditKit::Client.new params[:username], params[:password], and I get no _dump_data is defined for class Proc error when I try to sign in.

I take it that RedditKit::Client cannot be marshalled? I have further suspicion that I shouldn't be storing the client in a session in the first place. Is there a recommended way?

Hi there,
While trying to iterate through all the comments in a thread, I'm getting the error NoMethodError: undefined methodempty?' for nil:NilClass`.

Example (using rails console):

irb(main):024:0> c = RedditKit.comments "2g240u"   
# the whole json...
irb(main):025:0> c.replies?  
=> true                                          
irb(main):026:0> c.replies[0].replies?
=> true 
irb(main):027:0> c.replies[0].replies[0].replies? 
=> true
# keep going until you reach the last comment that doesn't have child comments
irb(main):028:0>  c.replies[0].replies[0].replies[0].replies[0].replies[0].replies[0].replies?
NoMethodError: undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass                                        

I would expect the last command to return false instead of an exception. The line that throws the error is this one btw redditkit (1.0.1) lib/redditkit/comment.rb:40:inreplies'`.
