SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many applications need reliable access to Reddit content but building integrations requires handling authentication, rate limits, streaming, pagination, and multiple client libraries. This Skill consolidates best practices, authentication flows, and example patterns so developers can fetch posts, comments, and user data without reinventing the integration layer.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Library guidance: Clear examples for Python using PRAW and TypeScript/Node using Snoowrap to cover common read and write workflows.
  • Direct API and OAuth2: Patterns for application-only tokens, script app credentials, and the authorization code web flow for user authentication and refresh tokens.
  • Operations & real-time: Instructions for fetching hot/new posts, searching, handling comments and MoreComments, streaming submissions and comments, submitting posts, voting, and reading user profiles.
  • Stability considerations: Rate limit guidance, User-Agent requirements, pagination and error handling notes, and typed models for parsing responses.

Quick Start

Use the reddit-api skill to fetch the latest 10 hot posts from r/python and return each post's title, author, score, and url.
