How to set up the Bot

Optain Reddit oAuth credentials

• go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
• Create a new application and note down the id and the secret for later use

Add a Webhook on a server

• In the Discord Client go to 'Server Settings'
• Go to Section 'Webhook'
• Create a new Webhook. Specify name and channel and copy the Link for the next step

Setup the environment

• Create a .env file containing the key value pairs from the dotenv_template file.
• Substitute with the values obtained from the previous steps.
• Add the name of a subreddit.

For the following steps make sure the python version used is 3.7. Otherwise Pipenv will scream at you.

• install pipenv python -m pip install.
• create the shell pipenv shell this will also load the values of the created .env file.
• run pipenv install --ignore-pipfile this will install the exact dependencies from the lockfile.

Now you can run the bot with python server.py

Optional Configuration

• FETCH_SIZE controls how many posts are fetched per loop. 10 by default.
• WAITING_TIME How many minutes the program sleeps in between loops.
