A Reddit script app is personal - it only works for accounts listed as a developer of that app. Create your own app rather than reusing someone else’s.

​
Create a script app

Register a script-type app in Reddit’s app preferences. The app belongs to the same Reddit account the integration will act as.

1

Open the apps page

Sign in to Reddit, click your profile icon, then click Settings.

  • On the Account tab, under Apps, click OAuth app settings.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page.
  • Click are you a developer? create an app… to open the form.
2

Fill out app details

Provide the app metadata.

  • app name: StackOne Script
  • Select the script radio button.
  • redirect uri: http://localhost
  • Click create app.
3

Copy the app credentials

After creation the new app card shows the credentials you need. A script app’s token carries full scope, so there is no permission screen to configure.

  • Copy the string under the app name (just below “personal use script”) across as the Client ID.
  • Click edit next to the app, then copy the secret across as the Client Secret.

​
Enter the Reddit account

The integration signs in as one Reddit account, so these are that account’s own sign-in details. It must be the account that created the app, or one added to it as a developer.

1

Enter the account credentials

Reddit rejects any account that is not listed as a developer of the app. The creator is added automatically.

  • Reddit Username: the username of that account, without the u/ prefix
  • Reddit Password: that account’s password
  • If the account has two-factor authentication enabled, append the current code to the password, as in mypassword:123456.

​
Set a User Agent

Reddit requires a descriptive User-Agent header on every API call, and throttles requests that send a generic or duplicated one.

1

Enter a User Agent

You write the User Agent value yourself — there is nothing to copy from Reddit. Use the same Reddit username you entered above.

  • Format: platform:appid:version (by /u/username)
  • Example: stackone-reddit-connector/1.0 (by /u/your_reddit_username)

Connect

  • Click Connect.
  • If applicable, the provider will redirect you to a sign-in or authorization page. Complete the provider’s authorization flow.
  • Once authorization is successful, you will see a confirmation popup.
