NAME

Mojo::Snoo::User - Mojo wrapper for Reddit Users

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Mojo::Snoo::User;
# OAuth ONLY. Reddit is deprecating cookie auth soon.
my $user = Mojo::Snoo::User->new(
    username      => 'foobar',
    password      => 'very_secret',
    client_id     => 'oauth_client_id',
    client_secret => 'very_secret_oauth',
);
# send message to /u/foobar
$user->send_message(
    title => 'this is not spam',
    body  => q@Hi, how ya doin'?@,
);
# or do non-OAuth things with a user object
my $user = Mojo::Snoo::User->new('username');
            
          

ATTRIBUTES

name

The name of the user. This is required for object instantiation. The constructor can accept a single string value or key/value pairs. Examples:

            

              
              
Mojo::Snoo::User->new('reddit_buddy')->name;
Mojo::Snoo::User->new(name => 'reddit_buddy')->name;
            
          

METHODS

send_message

Send private message to user.

            

              
              
POST /api/compose.
            
          

OAuth is required for this method.

            

              
              
# OAuth is required for this endpoint
my $user = Mojo::Snoo::User->new(%oauth, name => 'some_user');
$user->send_message(
    title => 'title goes here',
    body  => 'body goes here',
);
            
          

Be aware! This endpoint may require you to complete a CAPTCHA if your account lacks sufficient karma. If this happens, Mojo::Snoo::User will provide you with a CAPTCHA image link and wait for the answer via STDIN before proceding.

STDIN is really only useful for personal bots and scripts. When Mojo::Snoo supports more forms of authentication, it would be nice to let the user change this via the class constructor.

thing
