In this post, I will show how you can use Python to gather content and create a simple web page around it. See the first part to learn how to register an app to Reddit API and get started. Setup I often use PyCharm or Jupyter notebook for Python, but any Python environment will do the trick. You need to have a Reddit app id and app secret already at hand for this part.
One of the most valuable things I learned in recent years was learning how to use Public APIs to develop tools. An API (Application program interface) is a set of tools to communicate with another service. Learning how to use APIs is very valuable for web applications, but beyond that it is a useful skill to expand your horizon. Once you get the hang of it, there is endless possibilities what you can do with it.
