PRAW: Authorizing with OAuth prevents me from getting submissions/comments

Question

If I use OAuth, I am unable to get new submissions or comments from a subreddit.

My Oauth code looks like this:

import praw
import webbrowser

r = praw.Reddit(user_agent)
r.set_oauth_app_info(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, REDIRECT_URI)
authURL = r.get_authorize_url("FUZZYPICKLES", "identity submit", True)

webbrowser.open(authURL)
authCode = input("Enter the code: ")

accInfo = r.get_access_information(authCode)

After that I can try to get submissions

submission = r.get_subreddit("test").get_new()

or comments

comments = r.get_comments("test")

but if I use either value, the program crashes with the error:

raise OAuthInsufficientScope('insufficient_scope', response.url)
praw.errors.OAuthInsufficientScope: insufficient_scope on url https://oauth.reddit.com/r/test/comments/.json

If I don't use OAuth, either by using login() or by just not authorizing, I have no such issues. I am using Python 3.4. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I found the solution myself. To read posts, you need "read" in your list of requested scopes. So, "identity submit" should be "identity read submit".
