## Using OAuth2

To configure this credential, you'll need:

- A **Client ID**
- A **Client Secret**

Developer program

Reddit's developer program is in a closed beta. The instructions below are for regular Reddit users, not members of the developer platform.

Generate both by creating a [third-party app](https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps). Visit the previous link or go to your **profile > Settings > Safety & Privacy > Manage third-party app authorization > are you a developer? create an app**.

Use these settings for your app:

- Copy the **OAuth Callback URL** from n8n and use it as your app's **redirect uri**.
- The app's client ID displays underneath your app name. Copy that and add it as your n8n **Client ID**.
- Copy the app's **secret** and add it as your n8n **Client Secret**.
