<p dir="auto">Outside of Steemit I expect a heck of a lot of you are also members of Reddit.
<p dir="auto">Keeping up with your favourite subreddit can be tricky - what if the best submissions came to you, rather than you going and looking?
<h3>Reddit API Wrapper for Python
<p dir="auto">Reddit has a decent API, and there is a Python wrapper called <a href="https://praw.readthedocs.io" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper). PRAW is available via pip
<p dir="auto"><code>pip install praw
<h3>API Keys
<p dir="auto">To get started all you need to do is go into your account and set up your new app as a script.

<p dir="auto">You will be given your unique API details, that you can then use to gain read access. If you want more than that you will need oAuth and/or your login.
<p dir="auto">From there the code is very simple
<h3>Code
<pre><code>import praw
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='',
client_secret='',
user_agent='')
# get top 20 from 3dprinting
for submission in reddit.subreddit('3dprinting').hot(limit=20):
