Using Python, How can I create a bot/script that let’s me re-post a subreddit’s post to Lemmy?
Just wanted to do a simple little project to practice my programming skills.
I just need to know the outline/backbone of things I should know to do this project.
This should get you started:
import requests # Fetch post from Reddit API def fetch_reddit_post(): reddit_url = "https://www.reddit.com/r/{subreddit}/comments/{post_id}.json" subreddit = "python" # Replace with the desired subreddit post_id = "abcdef" # Replace with the desired post ID url = reddit_url.format(subreddit=subreddit, post_id=post_id) headers = {"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3"} response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) if response.status_code == 200: post_data = response.json() return post_data else: print("Failed to fetch post from Reddit API") return None # Post to Lemmy API def post_to_lemmy(post_data): lemmy_url = "https://lemmy.ml/api/{version}/post" version = "v3" # Replace with the desired Lemmy API version url = lemmy_url.format(version=version) headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"} # Extract necessary information from the Reddit post title = post_data[0]["data"]["children"][0]["data"]["title"] content = post_data[0]["data"]["children"][0]["data"]["selftext"] # Create payload for Lemmy API payload = { "title": title, "body": content, "community_id": "abcdef", # Replace with the desired Lemmy community ID "auth": "your_auth_token" # Replace with your Lemmy API authentication token } response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers) if response.status_code == 200: print("Post successfully created on Lemmy") else: print("Failed to post to Lemmy API") # Fetch post from Reddit API post_data = fetch_reddit_post() if post_data: # Post to Lemmy API post_to_lemmy(post_data)
Nice work! A tip for the future you can use spoilers!
