redditwarp is a modern, feature-rich Python library designed for interacting with the Reddit API. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous interfaces, robust error handling, and comprehensive model definitions for Reddit objects. Currently at version 1.3.0, the library maintains an active development cycle, releasing updates as needed to track API changes or introduce new features.

This quickstart demonstrates how to authenticate with Reddit using the password login flow and fetch the top posts from a subreddit. It emphasizes using environment variables for credentials and includes basic error handling for common API issues like rate limits. Remember to replace placeholder values or set environment variables.
Refer to the official `redditwarp` documentation for the 1.x.x series to understand the new API structure. Re-evaluate your import statements and method calls.
Double-check your `REDDIT_USERNAME`, `REDDIT_PASSWORD`, `REDDIT_CLIENT_ID`, and `REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET`. Ensure the client ID and secret are for the correct Reddit application type (script, web app, etc.) and that the user account exists and has the correct permissions.
Implement proper rate limiting and exponential backoff in your application. The `redditwarp` library doesn't automatically handle backoff, so you must implement it yourself or use `time.sleep()` when catching `RateLimitError`.
Consult the `redditwarp` documentation or use `dir(obj)` to inspect available attributes. Some attributes might only be present after specific API calls (e.g., `client.p.comment.get_comment(comment_id)` might fetch more details than a comment obtained from `get_top()`).
If using `Client` (synchronous), stick to synchronous methods. If using `AsyncClient` (asynchronous), ensure your code is running within an `asyncio` event loop and `await` all asynchronous calls.
