Thanks for the issue @StefanLobbenmeier!

The reason why there's not getters for each property is that Reddit doesn't have a complete listing of the possible properties and the API doesn't consistently return the same properties for each request. The getters that are there are the ones which I've seen consistently, but they're by no means a complete set.

Do you happen to know what the different types of content can be? If so, I'm happy to accept pull requests or design input!

[StefanLobbenmeier]

Sry for the late response. I will look into this, but I am currently concentrating on more basic parts of the API, but I expect I will investigate this further in a few month.

[StefanLobbenmeier]

I hope you dont mind if I use this issue to document my findings - I want to gather as many examples of media before thinking about a good design.

Not a problem! Sorry I haven't had more time to work on this myself. Hopefully I can spend some more time on this soon...

[donovanrost]

Adding to @StefanLobbenmeier examples of media. This gfycat example has

"reddit_video_preview": {
                                "fallback_url": "https://v.redd.it/7fpx9a4xvi431/DASH_360",
                                "height": 360,
                                "width": 640,
                                "scrubber_media_url": "https://v.redd.it/7fpx9a4xvi431/DASH_96",
                                "dash_url": "https://v.redd.it/7fpx9a4xvi431/DASHPlaylist.mpd",
                                "duration": 61,
                                "hls_url": "https://v.redd.it/7fpx9a4xvi431/HLSPlaylist.m3u8",
                                "is_gif": true,
                                "transcoding_status": "completed"
                            },

Which has a link to the video/gif

@donovanrost Thanks for the input :) I actually decided against pursuing this issue further, since I can get away with basically ignoring the fields and only working with the url. I use this library (shameless plug, its my own) to convert them https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/video_provider and the mp4 gives me all the metadata I need. Will close for now.
