Could make writing bots and other tools easier and quicker.

  • Hey everyone, "someone" here, AMA :D

    • Do you like garlic bread?

    • I'd love to write a bot for my own community. I used to use praw, when reddit was a thing.

      Can you see your wrapper being used this way? If so, is it ready for this yet? If so, is there any example code or docs on this?

      Thanks for your work, it's very much appreciated.

      • Yes there isn't a reason not to use it as a bot. We don't have all the API endpoints yet as we add them usually as we need them, but if you need one we don't have, just open a PR or send an issue and we'll handle it.

    • I think that this question from my non bot account has not reached you:

      Thanks for the wrapper :)

      Two questions:

      1. Where can I find the relation between languages and the languages_id ints?

      2. When I log in into a lemmy instance I check the protected member _requestor.nodeinfo to detect if the problem it’s the connection or the user/password:

         lemmy = Lemmy(instance)

 if not lemmy.log_in(user, password):
     if not lemmy._requestor.nodeinfo:
         raise LemmyException(f"Sorry, cannot connect to lemmy instance {instance}.")
     raise LemmyException(
         f"Sorry, cannot login {user} into {instance}. Bad user or wrong password."
     )

        There is a better way to validate it?

      • I believe pythorhead writes a specific log when you try too login to a non python instance. The node info likewise has a function to retrieve it

  • There is also plemmy https://github.com/tjkessler/plemmy
