Roux

Roux is a simple, (a)synchronous Reddit API wrapper implemented in Rust.

Usage

Using OAuth

To create an OAuth client with the Reddit API, use the Reddit class.

use roux::Reddit;
let client = Reddit::new("USER_AGENT", "CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET")
    .username("USERNAME")
    .password("PASSWORD")
    .login()
    .await;

let me = client.unwrap();

It is important that you pick a good user agent. The ideal format is platform:program:version (by /u/yourname), e.g. macos:roux:v2.0.0 (by /u/beanpup_py). This will authticate you as the user given in the username function.

Usage

Using the OAuth client, you can:

Submit A Text Post

use roux::Reddit;
let client = Reddit::new("USER_AGENT", "CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET")
    .username("USERNAME")
    .password("PASSWORD")
    .login()
    .await;

let me = client.unwrap();
me.submit_text("TEXT_TITLE", "TEXT_BODY", "SUBREDDIT").await?;

Submit A Link Post

use roux::Reddit;
let client = Reddit::new("USER_AGENT", "CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET")
    .username("USERNAME")
    .password("PASSWORD")
    .login()
    .await;

let me = client.unwrap();
me.submit_link("LINK_TITLE", "LINK", "SUBREDDIT").await?;

Read-Only Modules

There are also read-only modules that don't need authentication:

• Subreddits
• Users

Blocking Client

You can use a blocking (synchronous) API instead of tokio by enabling the blocking feature.

[dependencies]
roux = { version = "2", features = ["blocking"] }

use roux::Reddit;
let client = Reddit::new("USER_AGENT", "CLIENT_ID", "CLIENT_SECRET")
    .username("USERNAME")
    .password("PASSWORD")
    .login();

let me = client.unwrap();
me.submit_link("LINK_TITLE", "LINK", "SUBREDDIT");

3rd-Party Libraries

• roux-stream provides an API for continuously streaming new submissions and comments
