Reddit¶
Reddit implements OAuth2 authentication workflow. To enable it, just follow:
Register an application at Reddit Preferences Apps
Fill the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret values in your settings:
SOCIAL_AUTH_REDDIT_KEY = '' SOCIAL_AUTH_REDDIT_SECRET = ''
By default the token is not permanent, it will last an hour. To get a refresh token just define:
SOCIAL_AUTH_REDDIT_AUTH_EXTRA_ARGUMENTS = {'duration': 'permanent'}
This will store the
refresh_token
inUserSocialAuth.extra_data
attribute, to refresh the access token just do:from social_django.utils import load_strategy strategy = load_strategy(backend='reddit') user = User.objects.get(pk=foo) social = user.social_auth.filter(provider='reddit')[0] social.refresh_token(strategy=strategy, redirect_uri='http://localhost:8000/complete/reddit/')
Reddit requires
redirect_uri
when refreshing the token and it must be the same value used during the auth process.
