Hi! If you just downloaded OpenSnoo, you might be confused as where you should start. If that is you,or if you feel like you did something wrong, it is advisable to read this page. One of the main mantra's of this piece of software is hardcoded simplicity, so it is required to modify the json file to enter your id as to gain the ability to access Reddit, and it is highly advisable that you edit the loading options in the script. We will first start with the former

Setting up your API key

Before viewing content, you must first create and enter your api key into the JSON file. Here's how:

1- Extract the zip file downloaded from the github repository img 1

2- Go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps img 2

3- Scroll to the bottom of the page and create a new app (set redirect url to http://localhost:8080 and set everything else as you please) img 3

4- Leave the last page for later and open the login_data.json file from the unpacked file img 4

5- Copy the info from the newly made api key into the file (to view the keys data click on 'edit)'
