# RedditEasy

RedditEasy is a rapidly-fast API wrapper for getting posts using the Reddit JSON API with both sync and async options

## Install
To install RedditEasy, do:

``pip install redditeasy`` 

OR

``python -m pip install redditeasy``

OR (not recommended)

``pip install git+https://github.com/MakufonSkifto/RedditEasy.git``

## Documentation
Docs can be found [here](https://redditeasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

## Async RedditEasy
Yes, there is an async version of RedditEasy. To use it, you need to use the Async classes. Which are `AsyncSubreddit` and `AsyncUser`

Here is a small example on using `AsyncSubreddit`: https://github.com/MakufonSkifto/RedditEasy/blob/main/examples/async_meme.py

You can and should use this in a discord.py bot. The normal classes could cause a [blocking](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean) in an async program.

This **will not** work outside an async function whatsoever.

## Usage

### Without Reddit API client info
This method is not suggested as it may be slow and throw errors more often

```python
import redditeasy
import datetime

# To get your Reddit API client info go to
# https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
# and create an app

# For more detailed explanation, see this image: https://i.imgur.com/Ri13AQu.png


post = redditeasy.Subreddit()

postoutput = post.get_post(subreddit="dankmemes") # Subreddit name

# Formatted version of created_at
formatted_time = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(postoutput.created_at).strftime("%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S UTC")

print(f"Posts Title: {postoutput.title}\n"
      f"Posts Content: {postoutput.content}\n"
      f"Posts Author: u/{postoutput.author}\n"
      f"Posts URL: {postoutput.post_url}\n"
