How to obtain RPAN streaming key to be used in OBS

1. Open this URL in a browser. The reddit user must be logged in. https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/authorize?client_id=ohXpoqrZYub1kg&response_type=token&redirect_uri=http://localhost:65010/callback&scope=*&state=1234
2. Click on Agree. This is using the "reddit on Android" app ID to obtain an access token used later.
3. You will get redirected to http://localhost:65010/callback#access_token=45450553-r7yurPDsI1HdfhTHUp-XcM7GPGQ&token_type=bearer&state=1234&expires_in=3600&scope=%2A in your browser. It will show an error screen which is fine. If youre doing all of this in a script, you should start a webserver on port 65010 and extract the access token from an incoming request. Note that there may be separate request for a favicon.
4. Copy the access_token part from the URL you got redirrected to. 45450553-r7yurPDsI1HdfhTHUp-XcM7GPGQ in this example.
5. Make HTTP request to:

   • URL: https://strapi.reddit.com/r/<subreddit>/broadcasts?title=<url_encoded_title>

   • Method: POST

   • Headers:

     • User-Agent: <cannot_be_empty>
     • Authorization: Bearer <access_token>

   • example:

   POST /r/RedditSessions/broadcasts?title=test%20test HTTP/2
   Host: strapi.reddit.com
   User-Agent: xxx/0.1
   Authorization: Bearer 45450553-r7yurPDsI1HdfhTHUp-XcM7GPGQ
   

6. In the JSON response get data.streamer_key field. That's what is to be entered in OBS settings
