Creddit

Clojure wrapper for Reddit API

Installation

Declare creddit in your project.clj:

Use creddit in your clojure code:

(require '[creddit.core :as creddit])

Usage

You will need your Reddit application credentials found here https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/

I would recommend using a library such as cprop or environ to load them in

Your credentials should like this:

{:user-client <USER_CLIENT>,
 :user-secret <USER_SECRET>,
 :username <REDDIT_USERNAME>,
 :password <REDDIT_PASSWORD>}

The username and password are needed for some actions like submitting but are optional for anonymous actions.

Once you have your credentials loaded in you can initialise the client:

(def creddit-client (creddit/init credentials))
