# redditwarp — A library for interacting with the Reddit API.

License: permissive · Maintenance: dormant · Downloads: 178.5K/mo

## What it is and what it does

RedditWarp is a Python library that wraps the Reddit API with a focus on type safety, discoverability, and ease of use. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous clients to fetch submissions, comments, user data, and perform authenticated actions like posting and replying. The library handles OAuth2 authentication, automatic rate limiting, and includes utilities for comment tree traversal and listing pagination.

The package is designed for developers building Reddit bots, data analysis tools, or applications that need programmatic access to Reddit. It offers a consistent interface across sync and async modes, formal data structures for complex operations, and CLI utilities for token management. With zero runtime dependencies, it installs cleanly and works across modern Python versions.

Use it for:

- Build a Reddit bot that monitors a subreddit and replies to posts matching certain criteria.
- Scrape Reddit data for research or analysis, fetching submissions, comments, and user profiles.
- Stream new submissions from a subreddit in real-time using the async streaming framework.
- Automate Reddit account tasks like posting, replying, and managing saved items with OAuth2 authentication.
- Analyze comment threads by traversing the comment tree structure with formal pagination support.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

RedditWarp is a Python wrapper for the Reddit API that provides type-complete, synchronous and asynchronous access to Reddit's data and operations with automatic rate limit handling.

Yes, if you need a type-safe Reddit API wrapper and can tolerate dormant maintenance. The library is marked Production/Stable, has zero dependencies, and covers a wide range of Reddit operations. However, verify that recent Reddit API changes have not broken authentication or core endpoints, and be prepared to maintain a fork if critical bugs emerge.

## Install

pip install redditwarp
uv add redditwarp
poetry add redditwarp

## Installing redditwarp

Before you install: Low install friction with no runtime dependencies. Maintenance is dormant—last release was 774 days ago—so expect no active bug fixes or feature updates, though the codebase is marked Production/Stable.

License in practice: MIT license is permissive, allowing commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; you may use, modify, and distribute RedditWarp freely as long as you include the original license notice.

Quickstart:

pip install redditwarp

import redditwarp.SYNC
client = redditwarp.SYNC.Client()
it = client.p.front.pull.hot(5)
for subm in list(it):
    print(f"r/{subm.subreddit.name} | {subm.id36} | {subm.title}")

Requires Python 3.8 or later; type annotations use 3.9 features; code examples assume 3.10.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the dormant maintenance status affects compatibility with recent Reddit API changes or OAuth2 token handling.
- Whether async support is production-ready or has known limitations compared to the sync API.
- Performance characteristics and rate-limit behavior under heavy load.
