Request-RedditOAuthTokenPassword

SYNOPSIS

Requests a Password OAuth Access Token from reddit.

SYNTAX

Request-RedditOAuthTokenPassword [-Application] <RedditApplication> [[-AuthBaseUrl] <String>]
 [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Requests an OAuth Access Token from Reddit using the password grant flow. The password grant flow can only be performed for Script applications. This allows an application developer to obtain an OAuth Access Token under their own user context using their Reddit Username, Reddit passwords, Application Client ID, and Application Client Secret. For more information on this grant method see the Password parameter description for Request-RedditOAuthToken.

This function is essentially a convenience wrapper for Invoke-WebRequest and returns a RedditOAuthResponse that results from the Auth Token Request.

This function is not intended for direct usage by the module consumer and is not exported by the module. Documentation is provided for developers and contributors.
