Go to reddit.com/prefs/apps and click create another app... - Set the type to script (required - this only works for script apps, and only for the account that created them) - Name it anything, e.g. redditSaver - Set the redirect uri to http://localhost:8080 (the form requires one, but it's unused here) 2. Note down the two values reddit gives you: - clientId : the string right under the app name - clientSecret : the secret field 3. Copy settings.sample.json to settings.json and update these values: - clientId / clientSecret : from above - username / password : your reddit login - rootPath : Your notes target path (use double backslashes) - overWrite : If you wish to overwrite your existing note files with latest downloads, set this to 1 On storing your password: this uses reddit's OAuth password grant , which means your password sits in plaintext in settings.json (gitignored). It's the tradeoff for never needing a browser step. It requires that 2FA is off on the account, and it stops working when you change your password.
