- Eisenstein 3y agoSorry friend, you are incorrect. * https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/13wshdp/api_update_continued_access_to_our_api_for/ https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/13wshdp/api_update... "If you are using OAuth for authentication: 100 queries per minute per OAuth client id If you are not using OAuth for authentication: 10 queries per minute"
- Semaphor 3y agoWait, what? This is news to me. Why is this not mentioned anywhere? How does this not solve this for almost everyone? I already authenticate through oAuth anyway, wouldn’t this then just require inputting my own API key? edit: Ah, it also requires applying for an API key on their support website which may or may not be granted to you by Reddit and might take some amount of time. That is not comparable to having proper API access.
- Semaphor 3y agoAnd even worse, it’s not clear you are even allowed to use your own API access with a third party API, the ToS might forbid that as it’s not your (the person requesting the API key) app you are using it for, but someone else. That would make the whole thing completely useless.
