PRAW Environment Variables¶
The highest priority configuration options can be passed to a program via
environment variables prefixed with praw_
.
For example, you can invoke your script as follows:
praw_username=bboe praw_password=not_my_password python my_script.py
The username
and password
provided via environment variables will
override any such values passed directly when initializing an instance of
Reddit
, as well as any such values contained in a praw.ini
file.
All Configuration Options can be provided in this manner, except for custom options.
