basic-reddit-posts.rb

require 'json'
require 'rest-client'

r = JSON.parse(RestClient.get('http://reddit.com/.json'))
p = r["data"]["children"]
posts_array = p.collect { |post| post["data"] }

# posts_array is an array of post hashes
# you can iterate over posts_array or do posts_array[0]["url"]

posts_array.each do |p|
  puts "#{p['title']}: #{p['permalink']}"
end

# key glossary
posts_array[0]["title"] #=> post title
posts_array[0]["permalink"] #=> post permalink
posts_array[0]["url"] #=> post reference URL (link out)
posts_array[0]["ups"] #=> post upvote count
posts_array[0]["downs"] #=> post downvote count
