- thinkloop 8y agoHow would that work, I couldn't find much on the web?
- dewey 8y agoProbably by doing a mitm attack on the mobile app and using the headers used there.
- Thaxll 8y agoSame problem as the mobile app for Twitter, they can't block people that are not logged in the mobile app so they don't rate limit them.
- thinkloop 8y agoHow come they can block people on the web again?
- ihuman 8y agoJust be careful about how much you change it, since you could get banned. You might be able to get away with changing the app ID or version, but even that's risky. > NEVER lie about your user-agent. This includes spoofing popular browsers and spoofing other bots. We will ban liars with extreme prejudice. https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/wiki/API https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/wiki/API
