Introduction

reddit-posts is a package to get a random reddit post data. In addition, it makes for programmer an easier work.

NOTE: This package is not made by reddit. It is just unofficial package to get random post data. It is legal to use.

This is recommended command to execute in terminal to install package:

npm i reddit-posts@latest

Any command that install package is okay to run.

Requirements

minimum requirements:

• Having Node.js v12 or newer versions installed in your device.

maximum requirements:

• Having Node.js v16 or newer versions installed in your device.

Example

Here is an example for this package:

const RandomReddit = require("reddit-posts");

RandomReddit.GetRandompost("aww").then(async (data) => {
 	console.log(data.title); //returns title of a post. For example: "This is just an example!"
    console.log(data.SubredditPrefix); //return: r/aww
    console.log(data.IsNSFW); //return: false. If it is a NSFW post it will return true.
    console.log(data.UpVotes); //return: 919. Any number of post upvotes.
    console.log(data.ImageURL); //returns Image URL. For example: https://i.imgur.com/Example.jpg
    console.log(data.selftext); //returns selftext or description of a post. (String)
    console.log(data.url); //returns URL of post. For example: https://reddit.com/r/aww/comments/random/example/
    console.log(data.CommentsNum) // return: 4 or any number. It is for total comments number.
    console.log(data.Author); // Get an author username which returns a string.
    console.log(data.DownVotes); // DownVotes is just like data.UpVotes example and it returns number.
});

If you are using this package in async function. I recommend you to use await. For example:

const PostData = await RandomReddit.GetRandompost("aww");
console.log(PostData.url);

I wish that example helps.

NOTE: About GetRandomHotpost() and GetRandomNewpost() function codes are just same as GetRandompost() function. You all gotta do is just replacing function names.

What's new in 1.0.4

• Added new values to those functions: score.
• Added a new function and it is GetRandomNewpost();
