> It's too early to know whether this will be a realistic option. From what I've seen, Reddit may be turning developer signups into a manual process where each user would need to message them and get approval. Also it's likely they'd crack down on this if they knew it was happening.
- hysan 3y agoPretty sure it was turned into a manual process shortly before this API change. A few weeks ago, I had gotten a message from a Reddit admin to sign up for dev API access in what seemed like a manual process. I assume I was messaged because I had signed up for API access many years ago.
- reustle 3y agoEven if that is the case, why not track the number of requests each user makes though to the api and “Bill” their account monthly. Some caching can help fractionalize some of those request costs for popular content.
