Overview of Reddit#

The Reddit API unlocks the potential to automate interactions with one of the largest online communities. With Pipedream, you can tap into the Reddit ecosystem to monitor trends, engage with audiences, or curate content. Whether it's tracking mentions of your brand, auto-posting to subreddits, or gathering data for analysis, the API offers a breadth of functionalities — from getting posts and comments to creating new threads and managing account settings.

Connect Reddit#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    reddit: {
      type: "app",
      app: "reddit",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://oauth.reddit.com/api/v1/me`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.reddit.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of SWAPI - Star Wars#

The SWAPI - Star Wars API is a treasure trove of structured data from the Star Wars universe. It's a go-to resource for fetching information about planets, spaceships, vehicles, people, films, and species from the iconic franchise. Using Pipedream, you can harness this data to create automations and workflows that trigger based on specific criteria from SWAPI. For instance, you could set up a workflow that notifies you when new data is added, enrich customer profiles with their favorite Star Wars characters, or even use it for trivia games by pulling random facts.

Building a Reddit Workflow with Pipedream

Almost four years ago I blogged about a demo I built using Reddit's API. The demo was a multi-user application that made use of Mongo for persistence and Passport.js for user authentication. You would login, select subreddit's to subscribe to, and then once a day it would email you the new posts from that subreddit. This was built in a "traditional" Node.js style with a server running full time to process requests. I thought it would be fun to build this again (although slightly different) using Pipedream's support for working with the Reddit API. I built two different versions of a simple workflow I'd like to share below.

Updating my Reddit Workflow with Pipedream

Back almost exactly a month ago, I blogged about using Pipedream to build a Reddit email report. The idea was that I wanted a daily email of posts from my subscribed subreddits for the past 24 hours of content. The implementation was a bit complex. I used one workflow to handle "get a days worth of content from subreddit" as a general "API" and another workflow connected to my authentication. It handles getting my subscriptions, hitting the API, and then generating the email. This worked well, but after a while of actually getting the email, I noticed some problems. So I decided to fix that.
