I am trying to get all of the links in a subreddit using the API, but it is only returning one url. Here is the code I have:
var request = require('request');
webpage = 'http://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonUnder5/top.json?limit=100';
//login
request.post('http://www.reddit.com/api/login',{form:{api_type:'json', passwd:'password', rem:true, user:'username'}});
//get urls
request({uri : webpage, json:true, headers:{useragent: 'mybot v. 0.0.1'}}, function(error, response, body) {
if(!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
for(var key in body.data.children) {
var url = body.data.children[key].data.url;
console.log(url);
}
}
});
When I visit the json link in my browser, it returns all 100 posts.
Thats because only 1 exists in the top
http://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonUnder5/top
You could use hot instead
http://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonUnder5/hot.json
Also, you don't need to log in to do public get requests
Edit: You are getting so few results because you are not logged in properly
When logging in, use the
"op" => "login"
Parameter and test what cookies and data is returned.
I also recommend using the ssl login url since that works for me
https://ssl.reddit.com/api/login/
