Create app at above URI, using the private script option 2. Enter client_id and secret into praw.ini 3. Run this script 4. At the prompt copy the URL and open it in your browser. Allow access to your private app and it'll redirect you to a broken webpage. 5. Copy the code printed into your console as the oauth_refresh_token and enter t in praw.ini 6. All future requests through praw will use praw.ini to login with OAuth2 Once client/secret/refresh are in praw.ini you only have to call refresh_access_information() instead of get_authorize_url() -> get_access_information().
