# CLI
|
|
|
|
Since Version 2.2, Random Bunny contains a command line interface (CLI).
|
|
|
|
## Downloads
|
|
|
|
The project can be downloaded as a binary for your system via the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/Vylpes/random-bunny/releases) or [Forgejo Releases](https://git.vylpes.xyz/RabbitLabs/random-bunny/releases) page.
|
|
|
|
We currently support:
|
|
- Linux (x64)
|
|
- Windows (x64)
|
|
|
|
The git repository can also be cloned and ran via `yarn build` and `yarn start`.
|
|
|
|
You can produce the binary using the `yarn package` command. This creates the binaries in the `./bin` folder.
|
|
|
|
> **NOTE:** As of version 2.4 I will no longer be supporting and building macOS builds as I have no capacity to test and build for it.
|
|
|
|

## JSON output

|

You can also convert the output into JSON, if you need to input it to another program.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ random-bunny --json
|
|
|
|
# or
|
|
|
|
$ randon-bunny -j
|
|
|
|
{"Archived":false,"Author":"Rabbit_Owner","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".
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ random-bunny --sort hot
|
|
$ random-bunny --sort new
|
|
$ random-bunny --sort top
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Subreddit
|
|
|
|
You can change the subreddit which the command fetches from.
|
|
|
|
This defaults to "rabbits"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ random-bunny --subreddit rabbits
|
|
$ random-bunny -s horses
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Output to file
|
|
|
|
If you'd rather send the output to a file, you can supply the `-o` flag.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ randombunny -o ~/Desktop/output.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Reddit API Return Limits
|
|
|
|
You can also limit the amount the posts the script requests from the Reddit API
|
|
using the `--limit` option.
|
|
|
|
This defaults to 100. This accepts any number between 1 and 100.
|
|
|
|
Please note limiting the calls to less than 100 will give a higher chance of
|
|
the script not finding any valid image post to return.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ random-bunny --limit 50
|
|
```
|
