How to Get App Client ID and App Secret Key

You need to generate an app client id and app secret key for each account in order to use this script.

Steps:

1. Visit https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
2. Click "create (another) app" button at very bottom
3. Select the "script" option and fill in the fields with anything

If you don't want to create a development app for each account, you can add each username as a developer in the developer app settings. You will need to duplicate the client ID and secret in .env, though.

Python Package Requirements

Install requirements from 'requirements.txt' file.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Get Started

Change the filename of config.json.example to config.json

Fill the following lines with your Reddit App data:

  "app": {
        "client_id": "YOUR-CLIENT-ID",
        "secret_key": "YOUR-SECRET-KEY"
    }

Each account needs the username and password, optionally you can add an account-specific secret key:

"accounts": {
        "reddit_user_1": {
            "pw": "USER-PASSWORD"
        },
        "reddit_user_2": {
            "pw": "USER-PASSWORD",
            "client_id": "OPTIONAL-CLIENT-ID",
            "secret_key": "OPTIONAL-SECRET-KEY"
        }
    }

Note: if you add one of the optional values, you must add the other.

Run the Script

# Normally
python run.py
# Sometimes
python3 run.py

Known issues

I am aware of the program spamming from startup in some cases. This is probably some kind of threading issue, which I am unable to affect, or at least it's very difficult to debug. Just restart the program, and it should work.
