About This Service

Redirect service for handling Reddit API OAuth validation

This service runs on Cloudflare Workers and is used to handle the Reddit API OAuth validation process.

How to Use

1. Create an Application on Reddit Developer Platform

Visit Reddit App Preferences to create a new application.

When creating the application, set the following URL as the redirect URI:

https://reddit.7makj.com/redirect

2. Get Authorization Code

Build an authorization URL using the following format:

https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&response_type=code&state=RANDOM_STRING&redirect_uri=https://reddit.7makj.com/redirect&duration=permanent&scope=identity read

3. Use Authorization Code to Get Access Token

In your application, use the authorization code to request an access token from the Reddit API:

POST https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token

Request Headers:

Authorization: Basic base64(YOUR_CLIENT_ID:YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET)
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Request Body:

grant_type=authorization_code&code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE&redirect_uri=https://reddit.7makj.com/redirect

Important Notes

• Ensure that the redirect URI set in your Reddit application exactly matches the one actually used, including protocol (http/https) and path (/redirect).
• Use the state parameter to prevent CSRF attacks. This is a random string that should remain consistent between the authorization request and callback.
• Access tokens typically have a validity period of 1 hour. After expiration, you need to use a refresh token to obtain a new access token.
• In production environments, ensure all API keys and passwords are securely stored and not hardcoded in client-side code.
• This redirect service does not store any authorization information. All data processing is done in your application.
