Parameter Breakdown

Variable	Required	Description
app_id	Yes	The App ID generated for your script application you created on the Reddit Apps page.
app_secret	Yes	The App Secret generated for your script application you created on the Reddit Apps page.
user	Yes	The Reddit UserID associated with one of the developers attached to your application you generated. By default this is just the same user account you used to create the Reddit app in the first place.
pass	Yes	The Reddit password associated with the UserID defined above.
subreddit	Yes	The Subreddit you wish to post your message to. You must specify at least 1 of these.
kind	No	The message kind can be set to either self, link, or auto. Set this to self to imply you're posting a general/common post to the subreddit. Otherwise, set this to link if the message body you provide (as part of your Apprise payload) only contains a hyperlink/URI to a website. The auto setting (also the default) will parse the message body and set the self/link kind accordingly based on what was detected.
ad	No	Specify whether or not what you are posting is an advertisement. By default this is set to No.
nsfw	No	The Not Safe For Work (NSFW) flag. By default this is set to No.
replies	No	Send all replies of the thread to your (Reddit) inbox? By default this is set to Yes.
resubmit	No	Let Reddit know this is a re-post. Some subreddits block the re-posting of content; setting this flag to yes can enforce that the content be accepted even if this is the case. Some subreddits will even flag the message differently when you identify it as a re-post up front. This may or may not be what you want. By default this is set to No so that all messages are treated by the upstream server.
spoiler	No	Mark your post with the spoiler flag. By default this is set to No.
flair_id	No	Provide the flair_id you want to associate with your post. By default this is not passed upstream unless identified.
flair_text	No	Provide the flair_text you want to associate with your post. By default this is not passed upstream unless identified.

Note: Reddit always requires a title to go with it's body. Reddit will deny your post (upstream) if you don't provide both.
