I think what they mean is that it is accessing Reddit the same way that the web front end does.
I.e that this Android app does not use the Reddit Data API https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/16160319875092-Reddit-Data-API-Wiki https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/16160319875... which if I understand correctly is the API that you would create an app id for on Reddit.
It goes without saying that the Android app being discussed here probably breaks the terms of use for Reddit
- StrLght 3y agoI believe this endpoint is the only way to retrieve json with posts from Reddit, so every single app would use it. Even Apollo used it, although it used OAuth for that. See this line: https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend/blob/ab04b220a4925239940e7aca90cd6a14f8f08e6a/internal/reddit/client.go#L235 https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend/blob/ab04b2... Disclaimer: it's been quite a while since I've last looked into Reddit API, so I could easily be wrong.
