Creating a PRAW Instance

In order to connect to Reddit, we need to create a praw instance. There are 2 types of praw instances:

Read-only Instance: Using read-only instances, we can only scrape publicly available information on Reddit. For example, retrieving the top 5 posts from a particular subreddit.

Authorized Instance: Using an authorized instance, you can do everything you do with your Reddit account. Actions like upvote, post, comment, etc., can be performed.

Python3

# Read-only instance

reddit_read_only = praw.Reddit(client_id="", # your client id

client_secret="", # your client secret

user_agent="") # your user agent
