Their API is so fucked that it is literally impossible to get more than a couple hundred posts from a subreddit. Thankfully, services like pushshift[1] exist, which has a sane API and the option to use plain elasticsearch. [1] https://github.com/pushshift/api https://github.com/pushshift/api

(use &before=[epoch] for pagination) "see all of the posts made to the subreddit I moderate": https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/submission/?subreddit=Cydia https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/submission/?subreddit...

  Wow, It's so weird recognizing so many people in this discussion. Thanks for giving examples. I have a subreddit (/r/pushshift) that gives examples on how to use the API. I'm always happy to answer questions about the API and take suggestions to improve it. I'm very very close to launching the new API which will have a lot more features and a better design than the current one. Edit: I just realized my username on this site got truncated to uhhh ... wow.
