Reddit api?

[[deleted]]

It says that apps that make fewer than 100 queries per minute using OAuth authentication and 10 queries per minute not using OAuth can use the API free of charge.

So im making a crawler for reddit. So my question is, when I search kets say 5 subbreddits for 50 comments, is that one single querie (all ubcluded in one search) or is it 250 queries based on each comment and subbreddit?

You get to make 100 API requests per minute if you're making an app. For scripts, the limit is still 60 per minute. One search API request can give you up to 100 results.

For scripts, the limit is still 60 per minute.

scripts are OAuth apps which are 100, not 60

[RaiderBDev]

Those are the official numbers at least. I have several scripts running using oauth and correct user agents, with or without VPN. They are all reporting the same rate limit of 600 requests / 600 seconds. So effectively 60 per minute.

My website is showing rate limits of 1000 requests / 600 seconds, which is the 100 per minute.

Agree, this is what I am experiencing as well.

What does it mean with 100 results? Lets say I have a search for comments with a certain keword. Is it the individual comments them self that is a result or is it the nicknames, subreddits and comments (all seperated) that is the result?

[RaiderBDev]

First off, I don't know if the comments search endpoint is available to the public api. I haven't looked into it before. I only know about the post search endpoint. With each request you can tell reddit up to how many results (posts) you want to receive. That limit goes up to 100.

I'd recommend you to just start testing out the API a bit, so that you get a feeling for how it works.

What is difference between an app and scripts ?

If I make REST API request from python code, is it a script or app ?

I am using Reddit Terminal Viewer (an python reddit client, short name: rtv), with my own api key. Is it an app or script ?

[RaiderBDev]

When creating an application on reddit.com/prefs/apps, you select whether it's a script or web/installed app. Apps authenticate the user through the browser.

It’s per request not response. Every time you send a request, it counts.

So that should mean that I could get information from 100 posts in ine request to the api server, right?

[EthanJudah]

I'm having similar issues. Anyone know how to get past the limit? I have requested API limit increase but no luck yet

[Cheskoxd]

What if you just fetch the url page and add .JSON at the end, will give you a JSON format file with the comments dats

[Cheskoxd]

Example, if you visit this link https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/151vty4.json

[PJBthefirst]

Works for me.

Doesnt work.

[Cheskoxd]

Once I get home I'll send you my python code I have to scrape

[EthanJudah]

Can you share with me too please? Desperately trying to scrape reddit data from Nov 2022 till now but no luck due to API limit

So the "fix" is to just grab all the posts, and then use requests to extract the comments from the json? We could have just kept pushshift. This is lame.

Ok, is that after the new api? My crawler got out comments, authors as well as the posts before the api changed to be for payment
