Render a Reddit thread (script, or post+comments) to an MP4 and wait for it to finish. This queues a render, waits for it, and returns once it is done (or after failing/timing out). A short render typically takes 20-60 seconds. Returns a public link to the MP4; the file is deleted after 24 hours. If txtreel is busy or you hit the rate limit, the result is an error with the message. If the thread is invalid, this returns an error result with the validation messages (script errors are prefixed with the offending line number) instead of rendering. Reddit thread script format (post + nested comments): title: AITA for not going to my sister's wedding? body: First paragraph of the post (optional, one line per paragraph) body: Second paragraph [photo URL] a photo in the post (URL, file path or uploaded photo's number) sleepy_joe: A top-level comment > OP: A reply by the post's author (blue OP label) >> sleepy_joe [2.1K 3h]: A reply to that reply, with its votes and age [91 more replies] collapsed replies under the comment above [pause 2] wait 2 s # comment The video is a screen recording of a thread on mobile reddit.com in iOS Safari: the page is laid out once and the view scrolls from block to block, holding each one long enough to read. The title is on screen from frame 0. Scores and ages left out of the script are generated (decreasing down the thread, never older than the post).
