How to use API call to connect to Reddit:

To retrieve a post title from the "finance" subreddit using PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper), you can follow these steps:

1. Ceate a Reddit Account: If you don't already have one, sign up for a Reddit account.
2. Create a Reddit App:

• Log in to Reddit and go to the Reddit App page.
• Click on the “Create App” or “Create Another App” button at the bottom.
• Fill out the form:

3. Get client_id and client_secret:

• After creating the app, you'll be redirected to the app's page. The client_id is the string listed just under “personal use script”. The client_secret is the string listed next to “secret”.

4. Install PRAW:

• If you haven't already installed PRAW, you can do so using pip:

Copy code
pip install praw

5. Set Up PRAW in Your Python Script: Use the client_id, client_secret, and a user_agent to set up PRAW. Replace 'your_client_id', 'your_client_secret', and 'your_user_agent' with your actual credentials and a descriptive user agent.

import praw

reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='your_client_id',
                     client_secret='your_client_secret',
                     user_agent='your_user_agent')

6. Acessing Reddit Data: Now, you can use the reddit object to access various functionalities of the Reddit API, such as reading posts, comments, and other data from specific subreddits.

subreddit = reddit.subreddit("stocks")
for post in subreddit.new(limit=5):
  print("Title:", post.title)
  print("Main Text:", post.selftext)
