MMM-Reddit-News-Ticker

This is a module for the MagicMirror².

Looks and acts like the horizontally scrolling newsticker from CNN. By pulling the top 50 submission titles from reddit.com/r/news, it avoids pulling clickbait article titles that don't impart any facts, leveraging the fact that redditors tend to downvote clickbait or sensationalist stories.

Using the module

Requires python3.

You will need to get your own client ID and secret from reddit.

To use this module, add the following configuration block to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

var config = {
  modules: [
    {
      module: 'MMM-Reddit-News-Ticker',
      position: 'bottom_bar'
      config: {
        client_id: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
        secret: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
      },
    },
  ],
};
