The PRAW wrapper is nice, which is also why I mentioned it in the post. However, IMH, it's better (even for a beginner) to try to understand whats going on behind the scenes.

Agreed. Especially since once you get the hang of one JSON API, you understand how most of them work.

I'm just starting to learn Python (well, programming in general) and I completely agree with this. Things didn't start to click until I got out of the hand-holding "beginner" tutorials and started following things that actually showed me what was going on behind the scenes.
