I want to make a bot that when you do "!meme it posts a random meme from r/memes/hot/. How would I do that? I already have some base code, but it doesn't work. Also, I'm not sure what exactly is a user_agent is. could someone give me an example?
client = Bot(command_prefix=BOT_PREFIX)
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='id',
client_secret='secret',
user_agent='windows 10: Meme Scraper (by /u/PotatoLord1207)')
@client.command()
async def meme():
memes_submissions = reddit.subreddit('memes').hot()
post_to_pick = random.randint(1, 20)
for i in range(0, post_to_pick):
submission = next(x for x in memes_submissions if not x.stickied)
await bot.say(submission.url)
python discord discord.py reddit
