  • Status

    • Enable: Activates Reddit API integration.

    • Disable: Turns it off.

  • Client ID
    The identifier assigned to your app when created on Reddit.
    Example: fwx77PiaJJ1ax3E...

  • Client Secret

🔁 Callback & App Setup

  • Callback URL:

    This must be set as your Redirect URI in your Reddit application configuration.

  • Create Reddit App:
    Register or manage your app at:
    https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps

✅ Notes

  • Ensure your Reddit app is not in developer-only mode when moving to production.

  • Stackposts will use OAuth to allow users to authorize their Reddit accounts without revealing login credentials.

  • Reddit has strict rate limits; avoid automation that exceeds their posting thresholds.
