Keyword Arguments to :class:`.Reddit`

Most of Async PRAW's documentation will demonstrate configuring Async PRAW through the use of keyword arguments when initializing instances of :class:`.Reddit`. All of the :ref:`configuration_options` can be specified using a keyword argument of the same name.

For example, if we wanted to explicitly pass the information for bot3 defined in :ref:`the praw.ini custom site example <custom_site_example>` without using the bot3 site, we would initialize :class:`.Reddit` as:

reddit = asyncpraw.Reddit(
    client_id="SI8pN3DSbt0zor",
    client_secret="xaxkj7HNh8kwg8e5t4m6KvSrbTI",
    password="1guiwevlfo00esyy",
    user_agent="testscript by u/fakebot3",
    username="fakebot3",
)
