Is it possible to get a RSS feed of a reddit with links to posts with X upvotes?

Question

I created a subreddit that I am connecting to a twitter account via twitterfeed.

Currently I have it pointed to this RSS feed.

I would like to filter this RSS feed with posts that have X upvotes such that only the good posts reach the Twitter account. Is there a way to do this? via API or otherwise?

Answer 1

Ignore the RSS feed.

Use this.. http://code.reddit.com/wiki/API

Use the url with a .json appended to whatever category you are interested in.

Note the score property. There is no way to send over a query but you can simply ignore those that don't have the score you are looking for.

Well I could use the json to filter posts with score > X. But it still ultimately needs to be an RSS feed that never has duplicates. So once a post has hit score X it is added to the RSS feed. – Unroof

You would have to add a persistance layer to your solution to keep track of what's been posted and then generate your own RSS feed. It wouldn't be that difficult. – Outherod

Yahoo Pipes is amazing for feed things like this.

This should do what you want (and if it doesn't, you can easily tweak it; Pipes is pretty easy): http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=16d40aa3cb2958bd814ee8ced0f62538

Maybe you need to scrape the page and generate your own RSS feed. That should be a simple job for a scraper.

Always check for an API before you resort to scraping! – Mores
