Hi,

I know that debugging oauth can be a pain because the 400s can be mysterious.

Here's where I get the variables to begin with:

Now, in this script it tells you to do some export praw_client_id=..., but I actually don't like dealing with environment variables, so an alternative is to just edit the script itself, and add client_id and client_secret arguments to the praw.Reddit:

When I run that script I get this:

It works:

I hope that helps a bit.

[kidzrockboom]

Thank you for responding. This was very helpful I was able to see the point of the error. It happened when I tried to run r.user.me()

import bot r = bot.login() r.user.me()

Yes, the error occurs there because that's the moment where the r object needs to actually log in to reddit in order to figure out who it is. Something's wrong with your refresh token so the authorization failed at that moment.

It is difficult for me to know exactly which part of your bot.py file is messed up, but I have demonstrated that the process works. So I would suggest deleting the bot.py that you have and starting from scratch. Here are some additional thoughts:

• Maybe you accidentally made two copies of bot.py in different places, and the one you're editing is not the one being run by the program (so it's still trying to use "xxx").
• I am using Praw v5.2.0. If you're using a higher version then maybe something is different but I expect that's not the case.
• Make sure you don't miss any letters while copy-pasting the refresh token.

[kidzrockboom]

Sorry, this is probably a dumb question but where am I copying and pasting the refresh token to?

[voussoir]

Into bot.py, APP_REFRESH

By the way, CONTACT_INFO is used when downloading from pushshift because stuck_in_the_matrix requests it. You should put an email or something there. The USERAGENT could be "/u/kidzrockboom using timesearch".

[kidzrockboom]

I tried everything you suggested and then some, would it be possible to mail you my bot.py file so you can test it and see what the issue is?. I am running Praw 7.3.0 and I don't think that is the issue either, I have been on this all day yesterday and today and I'm stumped brother.

[voussoir]

Sure, email to ethan@voussoir.net

[kidzrockboom]

YAY IT worked with your method. I just followed the video. Thank you so much Man I appreciate it so much

[voussoir]

Great, I'm glad it worked 👍
