httparty VS reddit

I would grab a gem like httparty, and dive into the API docs and see what you can do.

HTTParty — Used to make HTTP requests and fetch the required data.

Usually, my ruby HTTP library of choice is HTTParty but I wanted to set this up using the ruby Net::HTTP lib to keep from introducing another dependency.

Everyone here seems to have misread what you wanted. From my interpretation, you are trying to upload a csv somewhere, using an api. With ruby, you can either do it with a built in library or one of the nice http gems. Someone suggested using Python with a builtin library called requests which isn't actually built in, so I'm also going to go with a library that isn't built in. httparty

My go-to is HTTParty for most cases. As a simple example for a one-off request:

I'm too tied to the implementation. If one day I decide to use Faraday or HTTParty as my HTTP clients instead of Net::HTTP, this test will fail.

Now we ensured the right meta data is added to the emails with a custom metatag, let's setup the Postmark API to retrieve the email data an show it in our application. The first step is to add a gem so we can send HTTP requests to the Postmark API. There are several good gems for this, I use the httparty gem. So add this to the Gemfile:

I have a whole bunch of open source projects that I'm using all the time, you can see them all here: https://github.com/reddit/reddit/graphs

reddit allows requests of up to 100 items at once. So if you request <= 100 items PRAW can serve your request in a single API call, but for larger requests PRAW will break it into multiple API calls of 100 items each separated by a small 2 second delay to follow the api guidelines.

Access to Reddit’s API requires a set of OAuth2 credentials. Those credentials are obtained by registering an application with Reddit. To register an application and receive a set of OAuth2 credentials please follow only the “First Steps” section of Reddit’s OAuth2 Quick Start Example wiki page.

To determine the timing of post publication, we leveraged a specific field found within each post that records the local time of the author, as documented by the JSON API of Reddit (see field “created” at https://github.com/reddit/reddit/wiki/JSON).

Here's the code: https://github.com/reddit/reddit/blob/master/r2/r2/lib/scraper.py#L192

Authentication is done with OAuth2, and you can find information about that here.
