Reddit Credentials

Engaggit can search Reddit in multiple ways. Configuring Reddit API credentials is optional but recommended for the most reliable experience.

Scannig Modes

Engaggit supports two methods for fetching Reddit search results:

Mode	How It Works	When to Use
API	Uses Reddit's official OAuth API	Most reliable. Requires client ID and secret.
Browser	Loads Reddit pages in a hidden browser window	Default mode. No credentials needed.

How Mode Selection Works

1. If Reddit API credentials are configured → API mode
2. Otherwise → Browser mode (default)

Setting Up Reddit API (Optional)

Using the Reddit API is more reliable and faster than browser scanning, especially for frequent scans.

Step 1: Create a Reddit Application

1. Go to reddit.com/prefs/apps.
2. Scroll to the bottom and click "create another app...".
3. Choose "script" as the app type.
4. Fill appeared form
5. Click "create app".

Step 2: Get Your Credentials

After creating the app, you will see:

• Client ID — the string under the app name (looks like aBcDeFgHiJ)
• Client Secret — the "secret" field

Step 3: Enter Credentials in Engaggit

1. Open Settings → Reddit.
2. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret.
3. Save.

Engaggit will use the Reddit API for all subsequent scans.
