reddit-streamer streams posts from your favorite subreddit and posts them to Telegram. The posts can be filtered by keywords and media links specified in the configuration. The streamer does not require reddit credentials to work, and instead uses the Reddit read-only API for streaming posts.
To get started, copy config.toml.example to config.toml.
An example configuration to post news about Trump and Biden, limited to WashingtonPost or NYTimes would look like:
[general]
interval=60
debug=false
[telegram]
api_key="<telegram-api-key>"
channel_ids=[<channel-id>]
[filters]
subreddit="worldnews"
keywords=["trump", "biden"] # set to [] if you want to match all posts
media_whitelist=["washingtonpost", "nytimes"] # set to [] if you do not want to filter by links
reddit-streamer, as of right now, can only stream data from a single subreddit. You may or may not specify any filters on the keywords and media_whitelist. If none of the two filters are specified, all posts from the subreddit will be posted to telegram.
