RSAW

RSAW is a really light API wrapper, created for this here website. I (/u/diogenesjunior) created it because Saidit didn't have a Python API wrapper, and I personally needed to use Saidit programatically.

Installation

Installing RSAW is easy, assuming you have pip3 installed:

pip3 install RSAW

Credentials

To get all of your needed API creds:

• Go to /prefs/apps
• Select "are you a developer? create an app..."
• Name it "RSAW Testing"
• Select "script"
• Leave a small description about your project
• Leave the about url empty
• Put a link to the logged in account's profile for the redirect uri
  

You can then start using the API wrapper. I suggest you at least learn some Python first. Here's a small rundown of how you'd use it:

• Create a file named "main.py"

• Copy and paste the following into main.py:

  import rsaw
  
  saidit = rsaw.Saidit(client_id='client_id',
                  client_secret='client_secret',
                  username='username',
                  password='password',
                  app='our_app',
                  token_file='/tmp/token')
  me = saidit.get('/api/v1/me')
  print(me)
  

• Replace 'client_id' with the personal use script

• Replace 'client_secret' with the secret

• Replace 'username' with your username

• Replace 'password' with your password

• Replace 'our_app' with a simple user agent

Now run the file in your terminal:

python3 main.py

This will return data found at "/api/v1/me". There are many more endpoints, all listed here

Popular endpoints

• /api/v1/me/karma
• /api/v1/me/prefs
• /api/v1/me/trophies
• /prefs/friends
• /prefs/blocked
• /api/v1/me/friends
• /api/v1/me/blocked

POST requests

Suppose you want to make a POST request:

from rsaw import Saidit

saidit = Saidit(client_id='client_id',
                client_secret='client_secret',
                username='username',
                password='password',
                app='our_app',
                token_file='/tmp/token')
paramaters = {'kind': 'self', 'sr': 'rsaw', 'title': 'testing - title', 'text': 'testing - selftext'}
me = saidit.post('/api/submit', params=paramaters)

This will submit a self post to /s/rsaw, with a title of "testing - title", and a selftext of "testing - selftext"
