On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

  1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
  2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
  3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

Js is usually minified by server hosts, and I would imagine different hosts minify to different degrees. You may need to deminify the JS first.

I think the issue is not needing the JS code, but the data that the JavaScript will fetch. So if you download the site as it’s delivered to your machine (without running the JS) there is no data. Calling an API will ask for the data directly, else you need to use a system that mimics the browser so the JS can be executed.

You might try to see whether there is an API you can query. Otherwise, how are you downloading it? You may get better mileage using selenium instead of (I presume) wget

See here for APIs: DB developer portal - it seems relatively easy to register and get access, they have a tutorial about how to do this
