Pls Add a feature to get a random post from Top/hot/rising/new sorting

[MdKaif2782]

Using your Butter Smooth API for my discord bot.. Really a big help!
But the problem is its showing same posts for 2-3 times (specially for specified subreddit). It would be really good if it can be specified that by which sorting method a random meme will be generated like sort by Hot/new/Rising/Top/Gilded etc..

would be a a great feature!

I think you can achieve this by passing the category ( top/hot/rising/new ) to the URL

Meme_Api/libraries/reddit/utils.go

Lines 55 to 58 in f523369

	func GetSubredditAPIURL(subreddit string, limit int) (url string) {
	url = "https://oauth.reddit.com/r/" + subreddit + "/hot?limit=" + strconv.Itoa(limit)
	return
	}

like:

func GetSubredditAPIURL(subreddit string, limit int, category string) (url string) { 
 	url = "https://oauth.reddit.com/r/" + subreddit + "/"+category+"?limit=" + strconv.Itoa(limit) 
 	return 
} 

and you also need to add this new information to the cache

Meme_Api/api/gimme/one_random_meme.go

Line 23 in f523369

memes := redis.GetPostsFromCache(sub)

Meme_Api/api/gimme/one_random_meme.go

Lines 41 to 43 in f523369

	if err := redis.WritePostsToCache(sub, freshMemes); err != nil {
	sentry.CaptureException(err)
	}

like:

memes := redis.GetPostsFromCache(sub+category)

 if err := redis.WritePostsToCache(sub+category, freshMemes); err != nil { 
 	sentry.CaptureException(err) 
 }
