Command-line reddit search via jq

redsearch.sh

# Search reddit for a string
redsearch() {
	curl "http://www.reddit.com/search.json?q=$1" | jq '[.data.children[].data | {created_utc, permalink, num_comments, ups, author, subreddit, url, title} | select(.title | contains("'$1'"))] | sort_by(.created_utc)'
}

Description

I have this function in my ~/.profile, and use it in the Terminal as redsearch something. Output is pretty-printed, syntax-highlighted JSON, ordered by date. Can be piped to other tools or jq again for further filtering/ordering.

Result

[
  {
    "title": String,
    "url": String,
    "subreddit": String,
    "author": String,
    "ups": Number,
    "num_comments": Number,
    "permalink": String,
    "created_utc": Number
  },
  ...
]
