You will need to have FFmpeg installed on your machine.
You will also need Reddit credentials.
- Create a Reddit account, if you don't already have one
- Create a Reddit app
- Give it a name
- Set the redirect URI to "http://127.0.0.1/"
We will need the Client ID (random string under the app name) and Client secret later.
const Redditube = require("redditube");
// Configure access to Reddit
Redditube.config({
"userAgent": "Redditube",
"clientId": "", // Your Client ID
"clientSecret": "", // Your Client secret
"username": "", // Your Reddit username
"password": "" // Your Reddit password
});
// Log start, status, errors and end events (optional)
Redditube.on("start", () => console.log("Start event!"));
Redditube.on("status", status => console.log(status));
Redditube.on("error", error => console.error(error));
Redditube.on("end", () => console.log("End event!"));
// Option 1
// Use .then() and .catch()
Redditube.make("f9cufu", 3).then(videoPath => {
console.log(videoPath);
}).catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
// Option 2
// Await a promise (inside an asynchronous function)
const videoPath = await Redditube.make("f9cufu", 3);The above example makes a video from this post (see f9cufu in the URL) and with 3 comments.
