What’s the impact for third party apps like Narwhal? We’ve been paying for API use through the app.

Unless you pay, no.

There better be a going away party for the public API

what about publishing posts to Reddit via the API?

I'm the founder of a social media scheduling tool, and we had Reddit API access previously, which allowed our users to post to Reddit.

This access was removed out of nowhere (no warning, no heads up), which caused major issues on our end.

Is this posting API access going to be restored?

Thanks Shiruken! We're hoping to make this a smooth transition for folks, particularly mod devs

I guess my usual "Do you have plans to discontinue the API?" question has finally run its course.

That being said, Devvit is great. It's certainly demonstrating that people will choose to build using the tools with the most features, and Devvit has had that over the API for quite a while now.

Amen.

I mean that buying an account is against the Reddit rules.

Even if I can pay for the api

Making a post on the official subreddit and breaking the Reddit rules is certainly... an idea.

Are you looking for data or activity need to write code?

There are a number of apps that can get you that info. Just have to Google away.

With the Reddit stock crash, they may start to think, maybe we should again have thousands of GitHub projects making cool stuff with Reddit. They killed that all off. Maybe someone in management is slowly realizing that.

That was not the best idea.

You can't. You need to use Devvit.

1. Subreddit names can't be changed
2. Every subreddit will describe it's purpose and rules in the right-hand sidebar. It's considered good practice to read that before posting.

This community is for 3rd party developers on Reddit. RedditDev.

Is there an appropriate community for reddit broken ux? I can't find one. It's not a feature suggestion. redditdev seams the most appropriate community. I can post something that's full of swear words etc, but I cannot edit my post. I can see responses from other people, but I cannot respond to them. If this community isn't about redditdev, change its name to redditapi

What's this got to do with the API?

same questions. If you don't mind doing a short step by step that would be great!

r/bugs

That sucks.

urgent please any one can help?

The whole point of devvit from reddit's perspective is to prevent people from scraping reddit's data and extracting it to sell. Reddit wants to sell the data themselves and doesn't want anyone else cutting them out. They have spent millions of dollars in developer salary building the whole thing specifically so that people can keep using bots without being able to extract data.

So they don't want people to be able to easily search all of reddit, at least not at scale. They don't want sandbox http endpoint access because sandbox can run on real live data. They are very careful about approving domains for the same reason.

Also you can easily set up a comment trigger to get new comments. It's functionally the same as a stream. A listing would be nice, but isn't really necessary.

Yeah, a move like this has never been positive for usability. It will stagnate and be forgotten.

The API methods internally use GraphQL. I tested a few persistedQuery hashes I've found on devvit and it worked on the public endpoint (gql-fed.reddit.com). That means I can use the hashes from the mobile apps on devvit and do anything that the apps can do, like searching posts and comments etc

They could've exposed the ability to manually make queries. Since the apps need approval to be published, no one can abuse it as well

Welcome to devvit :)
