Reddit API Opportunity Scanner
This skill uses the official Reddit API with authentication to identify high-quality posts matching specific keywords. It is more robust and efficient than the unauthenticated scanner.
Prerequisites
You must have a REDDIT_CLIENT_ID and REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET set in your .env.local file.
Usage
Before running the script, ensure you have loaded the environment variables. A simple way is to use dotenv with Node.js:
node -r dotenv/config .gemini/skills/reddit-api-scanner/scripts/scan_with_api.js
This will generate a reddit_api_opportunities.json file with the results.
