Bad Request Error (400 HTTP response) when accessing Reddit API

[Auditormadness9]

Describe the Bug

I am using PRAW library to access Reddit API in my Python project so that I could collect top 100 posts of the selected subreddits. However, I am encountering a Bad Request error (400 HTTP response) when trying to get the posts from a subreddit using the code. The error is in the Logs section.

Desired Result

It should crawl top 100 posts of each of the subreddits specified.

Code to reproduce the bug

import requests
import praw

client_id = <it's properly filled>
client_secret = <it's properly filled>
user_agent = <it's properly filled>
username = <it's properly filled>
password = <it's properly filled>

def get_posts(subreddit):
    reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret, user_agent=user_agent, username=username, password=password)

    posts = []
    for submission in reddit.subreddit(subreddit).hot(limit=100):
        posts.append(submission.title + " " + submission.selftext)
    return posts

def save_posts_to_file(posts, subreddit):
    with open(f'{subreddit}.txt', 'w') as file:
        for post in posts:
            file.write(post + "\n")

# Get posts for each subreddit
subreddits = ["r/infinitewarfare", "r/MadeMeSmile", "r/Tinder", "r/Bumble", "r/worldnews"]
for subreddit in subreddits:
    posts = get_posts(subreddit)
    save_posts_to_file(posts, subreddit)

The Reddit() initialization in my code example does not include the following parameters to prevent credential leakage:

client_secret, password, or refresh_token.

This is either an error with your credentials or reddit is having issues. Does this happen with every request or intermittently?

[Watchful1]

You need to remove the r/ from the front of each subreddit in the list. Just "infinitewarfare" instead of "r/infinitewarfare".
