FAQPage Schema
How do I start a Reddit API server with environment variables and logging?▼

Start a Reddit API server by running this Skill, which automatically configures environment variables from your .env file, sets up timestamped JSON logging, and launches the server from the cmd/reddit-server directory. Requires TEST_KEY, REDDIT_CLIENT_ID, and REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET in your .env file.

What do I need in my .env file to run the Reddit server?▼

Your .env file must contain three credentials: TEST_KEY for API access, REDDIT_CLIENT_ID, and REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET. The Skill reads these values and exports API_KEYS for the server to authenticate requests.

Can I use this Skill for local development and testing?▼

Yes, this Skill is designed for local development and testing environments. It safely launches the Reddit server with all necessary configuration, making it ideal for frontend applications that consume the Reddit API during development cycles.

Where are server logs written and how are they formatted?▼

Server logs are written to timestamped JSON log files in a logs directory that the Skill creates automatically. This structured logging makes debugging and monitoring straightforward during development.

Do I need to manually configure API keys and directories?▼

No, the Skill handles all configuration automatically. It creates the logs directory, reads credentials from your .env file, and launches the server from the correct path—eliminating manual setup errors.
