```
$ randombunny

Subreddit = Rabbits
Subreddit Subscribers = 486084
Title = Cute baby bun
Upvotes = 211

```

## Help

The command also includes a help option in case you are stuck.

```
$ randombunny --help

# or

$ randombunny -h

## JSON output

You can also convert the output into JSON, if you need to input it to another program.

```bash
$ randombunny --json

# or

$ randonbunny -j

{"Archived":false,"Downs":0,"Hidden":false,"Permalink":"/r/Rabbits/comments/1av1rg9/cute_baby_bun/","Subreddit":"Rabbits","SubredditSubscribers":486085,"Title":"Cute baby bun","Ups":210,"Url":"https://i.redd.it/sfz0srdrimjc1.png"}
```

## Sort

You can also choose the sorting option which reddit will use to return the available posts to randomise from.

This defaults to "hot". The valid options are "hot", "new", and "top".

```
$ randombunny --sort hot
$ randombunny --sort new
$ randomBunny --sort top
```


## Subreddit

You can change the subreddit which the command fetches from.

This defaults to "rabbits"

```
$ randombunny --subreddit rabbits
$ randombunny -s horses
```
