Edit: apparently I’m misreading the traffic page and third party apps are not included. So disregard this paragraph. I really doubt they’ll kill API access. From the stats on my (medium sized) sub a full third of uniques (desktop and mobile combined) are from unofficial clients.
And that’s not to mention the number of near-essential bots used by many subs for community management.
Now, what they are doing is not putting new non-core features into the API, like chat and RPAN. But while that’s still irritating, it is a bit different than killing API access.
- rognjen 5y ago> full third of uniques That tells you what their own experience is like. Thanks for sharing that.
- Macha 5y agoAt one point, Tweets showed which client you used and most came from third party clients.
- syntheticnature 5y agoMy understanding is that third-party apps aren't shown at all, per https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/6pxyvy/traffic_page_update_now_includes_data_from_all/ https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/6pxyvy/traffic_pag... ; "Reddit apps" only lists the official ones in subreddit stats.
