How do you work around their suggested API limits of one request every 2 seconds and one request per-page every 30 seconds?
Edit: I see this is a history. Though the question still stands for many reddit clients. I want to use the API, but find the terms too limiting for what I want to do.
- kahoon 14y agoCan't you use your own server to get the data you want from the Reddit API only once, and then serve this as many times as you want (since the server is yours)?
- kodablah 14y agoBut what if I want comments from 1200 threads? It will take me 40 minutes at one request every two seconds. I understand why reddit (and other API's) do the limit, I just want to find a way to experiment w/ new commenting UI's and still withstand the HN/reddit effect when showing it off.
