- sodality2 3y agoThose changes haven't been put into effect yet, though. It's "coming".
- ericmcer 3y agonuts, I have a little app that relies on it. It is still working atm and returning results from a few seconds ago but that sucks. I was also always baffled how pushshift API is so superior to the Reddit API. AFAIK it is running for ~$1k/mo. Locking down APIs like this could lead to way more scrapers which is expensive for everyone involved. I guess the number of people who know how to hit an API endpoint is way higher than the number who can setup a Selenium type scraper that runs JS and circumvents protections.
