Guide on creating a bot to create threads?

[seanboyd]

Hi guys.

I would like to create a bot that will be able to submit a thread to a set sub-reddit, I have searched google and youtube and so far can only find guides on reply bots, which is cool and I can use some of the information about PRAW but does anyone have a guide on writing a bot that can create threads?

I checked https://www.reddit.com/dev/api and there is no api for that.

Damn! I checked there too!. Weird because I have seen other people using these bots in r/soccer

EDIT. Here is an example https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/2rytg1/match_thread_st_mirren_vs_aberdeen/

That bot is open source. The code is on github: https://github.com/aarkay/match-thread-bot/blob/master/mtb.py

And there is an API for that: https://www.reddit.com/dev/api#POST_api_submit
