Reddit SSO Integration

This module allows you to integrate Reddit Single Sign-On (SSO) into your application. By using this module, you can authenticate via Reddit, retrieve user information, and even submit posts to a subreddit on behalf of a user. The code leverages the Reddit OAuth2.0 for authentication and authorization.

Required Environment Variables

Before you begin, you'll need to set up the following environment variables in your .env file:

• REDDIT_CLIENT_ID: Your Reddit application's client ID.
• REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET: Your Reddit application's client secret.

Required APIs

Make sure you have a Reddit OAuth application set up. You can create one by following these steps:

1. Go to Reddit Apps.
2. Scroll down to "Developed Applications" and click on Create App.
3. Fill in the application name, and choose script as the type.
4. Set the redirect_uri to a valid URL where you will receive the authorization code (e.g., http://localhost:8000/reddit_callback).
5. Note down the client ID and client secret from the created application.
6. Add the REDDIT_CLIENT_ID and REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET to your .env file.

Required Scopes for Reddit OAuth

Ensure that your Reddit OAuth application requests the following scopes:

• identity: Access to the user�s Reddit identity.
• submit: Ability to submit and edit content.
• read: Ability to read private messages and save content.
