You will need to have FFmpeg installed on your machine.
You will also need Reddit credentials.
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.
