asyncpraw VS PRAW

But there’s no need to do any of this if you use an API wrapper such as AsyncPRAW that is designed to handle all the complexity for you and help you automatically stay within the rate limits.

https://asyncpraw.readthedocs.io.

First, you don't use praw. You need to be using async libraries otherwise your bot will freeze up whenever it does anything. In this case, you'll be using asyncpraw.

It is strongly recommended to use Async PRAW: https://asyncpraw.readthedocs.io. See https://praw.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/multiple_instances.html#discord-bots-and-asynchronous-environments for more info.

The Asynchronous Python Reddit API Wrapper

Also, if you're doing this within a web framework like flask or any of the other popular python ones, I highly recommend using prawasync. Praw itself isn't thread safe, so if you create a praw instance somewhere and then reuse it, there's a small chance it gets corrupted.

Hey there! I would recommend checking out the docs at https://asyncpraw.readthedocs.io first.

I'm... not sure I understand the question? PRAW still works just fine for "personal use" of the reddit API.

Thank you for pointing out. So there is no need then for the access token? Only with the refresh token is enough? To be honest I took a look at it but I did not expect that to be under authentication as strictly speaking, the user already made the authentication. Also I took a look at the code at https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/blob/master/praw/reddit.py and I did not get a hint whether was possible to pass it or not. I am just saying this to let you know I tried to search for the answer before asking. Again thank you for the help.

To get the relevant IDs, you can use something like PRAW to query the subreddit for the top 1000 posts for example.

Huge thanks to the contributors to PRAW, which is the Python package that does all the heavy lifting relating to Reddit's API that I need for this script.

However, in practice duplicate items were yielded with these smaller numbers. So I increased the limit briefly to 250 in October 2016, and then increased it finally to 301 in December 2016 in order to resolve https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/issues/673. That issue provides an explanation for how 301 came to be.

Why? You gotta be ready for any status code. Even 777.
