I'm not very good with API and async whatnot but this piece of code is literally taken right from the asyncpraw documentation, yet it's producing an error. I'd appreciate it if anyone can help.

import asyncpraw

reddit = asyncpraw.Reddit(
    client_id="CLIENT_ID",
    client_secret="CLIENT_SECRET",
    user_agent="USER_AGENT",
)
print(reddit.read_only)

subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("ProgrammerHumor")
async for submission in subreddit.hot(limit=10):
    print(submission.title)

It's supposed to print the top ten posts on reddit from r/programmerhumor

Error pic

Edit:

I changed line 10 to this:

async def getSubreddit():
  return await reddit.subreddit("ProgrammerHumor")
subreddit = getSubreddit()

Got this

Error #2

Does this answer your question? [Why can I only use the await keyword inside of async function?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52027030/why-can-i-only-use-the-await-keyword-inside-of-async-function) – Dainius Preimantas Dec 04 '22 at 15:28
It seems to be a solution, but I'm not sure how to integrate that into my program. I edited the above code to the best of my ability, but the result is about the same – Abdulaziz Baba Dec 04 '22 at 15:48
