Comment

#!/usr/bin/env python

"""This example demonstrates the flow for retrieving a refresh token.

This tool can be used to conveniently create refresh tokens for later use with your web
application OAuth2 credentials.

To create a Reddit application visit the following link while logged into the account
you want to create a refresh token for: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/

Create a "web app" with the redirect uri set to: http://localhost:8080

After the application is created, take note of:

- REDDIT_CLIENT_ID; the line just under "web app" in the upper left of the Reddit
  Application
- REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET; the value to the right of "secret"

Usage:

    EXPORT praw_client_id=<REDDIT_CLIENT_ID>
    EXPORT praw_client_secret=<REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET>
    python3 obtain_refresh_token.py
