.NET Client for reddit utilizing Reactive Extensions
PM> Install-Package Rxddit
The polling client exposes an IObservable<RedditPostData> which will be populated with new post data from a specified subreddit peridodically.
For example, the below code polls /r/funny for new posts every 10 seconds:
var reddit = new RedditClient(() => new HttpClient());
Action<Exception> onError = (ex) => { Console.WriteLine($"An error occurred: {ex}"); };
var pollingClient = new RedditPollingClient(reddit, "funny", TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10), onError);
var resetEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false);
var subscription = pollingClient
.Posts
.Subscribe(
x => Console.WriteLine($"New post: {x.Title}"),
ex =>
{
Console.WriteLine($"Error while retrieving reddit posts: {ex.Message}");
resetEvent.Set();
},
() =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Finished retrieving posts");
resetEvent.Set();
});
pollingClient.Start();
resetEvent.WaitOne();
The historical client will retrieve post data for a specified subreddit back to a specified date (or until it runs out of posts) and expose them as a IObservable<RedditPostData>.
For example, the below code will retrieve all posts back to 2017-03-01 from /r/music:
var reddit = new RedditClient(() => new HttpClient());
Action<Exception, string> onError = (ex, s) => { Console.WriteLine($"An error occurred: {s} : {ex}"); };
var historicalClient = new RedditHistoricalClient(reddit, "music", new DateTime(2017, 03, 03), onError);
var subscription = historicalClient
.Posts
.Subscribe(
x => Console.WriteLine($"Post found: {x.Title}"),
ex =>
{
Console.WriteLine($"Error while retrieving reddit posts: {ex.Message}");
resetEvent.Set();
},
() =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Finished retrieving posts");
resetEvent.Set();
});
historicalClient.Start();
