Hello,
getting this weird error.

D:\GitHub\work>node cron\scrape.js

Here is the code I am using:

const config = require('../config');
const snoowrap = require('snoowrap');
const subreddits = [
  'Laptop'
]
const r = new snoowrap(config.reddit);
r.getSubreddit(subreddits[0]).getNew({time: 'year'}).then(console.log);

pretty straight forward stuff.
any ideas why this is happening?

node v7.2.0 win 10m latest snoowrap lib

weird so I had my app as a "web app". change it to "script" and now it works. weird error still though.

Thanks, I'm glad you managed to figure it out.

For future reference, what was in your config file? (You can omit things like credentials, of course -- I'm just interested in what type of authentication you used that caused the confusing error.)

It was the fact that my Reddit application type was set to web app it I was using username/password combo.

I had the same error as above and changing the Reddit application type to script fixed the issue as well.
I was using nodeJS.
