A utils for interacting with Reddit Gateway API (Web API), w/ pushshift historical posts support.

Documentation

Why this library?

Although Reddit has developer APIs and there are existing libraries (e.g. praw) to interact with reddit, there are still several drawbacks in terms of collecting data:

• An API key is needed to collect data.
• Rate limit is based on API keys.
• Some fields are missing using developer APIs.

Therefore, gatered exists just to counter this problem. It directly access Reddit's web API to get the whole information. No authentication is needed, and it supports proxy provided by httpx.

Install

You can install this library easily from pypi:

# with pip
pip install gatered

# with poetry
poetry add gatered

Using

The library provides easy functions to get start fast:

• gatered.func.get_post_comments
• gatered.func.get_posts
• gatered.func.get_comments
• gatered.func.get_pushshift_posts

Alternatively you can directly use gatered.client.Client and gatered.pushshift.PushShiftAPI classes as your base to implement your own logics.

Errors can be handled by importing either gatered.RequestError or gatered.HTTPStatusError, see httpx exceptions to learn more.
