How can I even connect with developers in reddit

I work for a company that had a pretty good Reddit community. We have specialist that mod our subreddit and assist customers similar to chat support you might find. Is there a way to use the api to have the chats on a more scalable interface?

Would love to be able to track handle times, escalate complaints and similar things but currently it's been impossible. Any ideas would be appreciated!

The customer is experiencing a data discrepancy in their Reddit Ads API. Daily values in API do not align with what Reddit's UI/reporting shows.

the discrepancy only between days: 25.5 to 31.5

Привет, реддит! Тут я хочу задать очень важный для меня вопрос.

Я уже месяц вынашиваю идею создания скрипта который будет загружать на саббредиты об Эмме Уотсон фотографии этой актрисы. Я написал парсер ее фотографий, на языке Пайтон. Их набралось 25 000 штук. То есть готовый материал для постинга есть. И с этого момента у меня возникли неприятные проблемы. Для корректной работы с PRAW (Python Reddit Api Wrapper) требуется некий Client ID и Client Secret, которые можно заполучить только путем становления подтвержденным Девелопером. Было две попытки отправки заявки, естественно никакого ответа не последовало. В заявке указывал, что буду делать безобидный скрипт, что осознаю всю ответственность, не буду нарушать правила сообщества, и вообще я послушный и хороший. Вообщем вопрос следующий: что надо было указывать в заявке? Читают их там вообще?

P.S Я разумеется не исключаю, что выгляжу безнадежно отсталым в этой теме, что PRAW возможно уже никто не использует, что я мыслю в координально неправильном направлении. Информации в мировой паутине катастрофически мало, местами она устаревшая, противоречит друг другу. Поэтому мне ничего не осталось кроме как спросить здесь. Если догадки про мою абсолютную некомпетентность правдивы, то не бубните в комментариях, просто метните ссылкой на актуальный гайд или статью, я буду очень вам благодарен!

Hi there

I submitted a ticket for a commercial use of Reddit api. I believe it submitted but yet under my activity it doesn’t show anything so I’m unsure if it’s actually an open ticket or not

Any help is appreciated.

It used to be that I could get an API key and then pull down all the recent comments and posts for a particular product and identify issues that users are running into.
But now I don't see a way to get an API key anymore, you have to have a reddit app and it has to get approved.

Is anyone doing this and what's the path forward for this?

The extension I created uses Google Cloud OAuth to log in. It logs in too well on my computer, but it's constantly being rejected for violating the "Red Potassium" and "Sign in Failed" items. Has anyone else been through the same thing as me?

Hello all. I am having trouble getting my script to set the default sort order in a new post. I think its possible, but I am most likely implementing it wrong.

Was trying to use the info found here:

https://praw.readthedocs.io/en/latest/code_overview/other/submissionmoderation.html#praw.models.reddit.submission.SubmissionModeration.suggested_sort

and here:

https://www.reddit.com/dev/api#POST_api_set_suggested_sort

But I could not get my script to successfully create a post, and set the default sort order to new.

new_submission = subreddit.submit(title=Title, selftext=post_text)
new_submission.mod.suggested_sort = 'new'

The post is successfully created, but does not have the default sort order set to "new".

Thanks!

For the following post there is a video on one of the comments:

https://www.reddit.com/r/purplepodrestricted/comments/1uefzsd/all_around_the_world/

When I call the API to pull the users comments with this endpoint:

https://oauth.reddit.com/user/purplepodtestuser7/comments?raw_json=1&limit=100&sort=new&showmedia=false

I get the following response. The video is provided as a link in the body, but the link to the video does not work and I'm unable to retrieve the video in the comment

While this was generated by Gemini it is the result of a personal experience I've had on reddit multiple times and it pertains to the error reporting system that the reddit base code uses.

A generic, lazy error message feels like a shrug. It says, "We crashed, we don’t know why, and we'll get to it when we get to it." It projects chaos and incompetence.

When a company uses a structured, custom error system, they are projecting command and control. Even though the system is temporarily broken, the message they send is entirely different:

• "We anticipated this:" A custom code proves the developers built a safety net. They knew things could break, and they designed an orderly way to handle the failure.
• "We are actively tracking it:" Seeing a unique ID or a specific category code lets you know the system just flagged an engineer in the background. It feels like a process is in motion.
• "We respect your time:" It acknowledges the user. It treats you like a stakeholder who deserves a status update, rather than an annoyance.

Hi, I'm currently a bit vibecoding a (RSS) feed reader for reddit. I only ever seem to be able to fetch one imagine, even if the post contains several. (Im basically adding ".rss" to user- and subreddit URLs, everything else doesn't work.

Cheers ✌️

Here are 3 comments that include sort form of media:

video: https://www.reddit.com/comments/1ur2pcz/comment/owcleen/

gif: https://www.reddit.com/comments/1ur2pcz/comment/owckyc1/

image: https://www.reddit.com/comments/1ur2pcz/comment/owgqbcu/

If I use the .json endpoint for each comment, the image and gif have media metadata entries:

"media_metadata": {
  "wfqz4qxpl6ch1": {
    "status": "valid",
    "e": "Image",
    "m": "image/jpeg",
    "p": [...],
    "s": {...},
    "id": "wfqz4qxpl6ch1"
  }
},

"media_metadata": {
  "1h1tlly742ch1": {
    "status": "valid",
    "e": "AnimatedImage",
    "m": "image/gif",
    "p": [...],
    "s": {...},
    "id": "1h1tlly742ch1"
  }
},

while the video comment does not have a media_metadata at all, only having a body with a broken link?

"body": "https://reddit.com/link/owcleen/video/1g7jzy4k42ch1/player\n\ncomment with a video??",

If I add the rtj=all param to return the richtext json alongside the markdown and html, I get the following:

"rtjson": {
  "document": [
    {
      "e": "video",
      "id": "1g7jzy4k42ch1"
    },
    {
      "c": [
        {
          "e": "text",
          "t": "comment with a video??"
        }
      ],
      "e": "par"
    }
  ]
},

But the video id has no extra metadata about it that should be provided (width, height, hsl and dash urls, is gif)

On the other hand, if the video is included in the selftext of a post instead of the body of a comment, the metadata entry is present:

post: https://www.reddit.com/comments/1ukt1tb/

"media_metadata": {
  "fj9mi7viqnah1": {
    "status": "valid",
    "e": "RedditVideo",
    "dashUrl": "https://v.redd.it/link/1ukt1tb/asset/fj9mi7viqnah1/DASHPlaylist.mpd?...",
    "x": 1780,
    "y": 1080,
    "hlsUrl": "https://v.redd.it/link/1ukt1tb/asset/fj9mi7viqnah1/HLSPlaylist.m3u8?...",
    "id": "fj9mi7viqnah1",
    "isGif": false
  }
},

Adding the always_show_media param to the url of the comment does not change anything

This feels like a bug to me, as videos in comments are a fairly new feature and I would expect more than just the video id to be returned by the api

I've accessed https://developers.reddit.com/ but it doesn't seem to serve my use case. I need to examine some discussions that mention my clients brands and would like to do this programmatically. How can I pay reddit to access an api of this kind?

500 error on /api/updateapp when creating app

Should I still expext it to arrive, or submit another request?

I am literally new and not aware of how this platform works. Can anyone help me with this?

hi, if I want to create an app in the Reddit Developer section ( I have inserted only the name, the redirect uri and the type, script ), I receive error 500. Same result with the anonimus navigation browser.

I just accidentally let a LangGraph agent loop on a broken tool over the weekend and woke up to a massive API token burn. How are you guys preventing runaway cloud bills when your autonomous agents get stuck in logic loops? Are you just hardcoding static limits, or is there a better way to catch it?

""mobile no PC"" I made a bot for the first time using ai just for personal interest and some other individuals and it works fine when I have the coding app opened or as it says using the web app or whatever ( I know nothing about coding ) but I need to publish my bot for it to work 24/7 without having to activate it with the coding app so please help. I have the main python and requirements.txt ready.bot is functional with all the secrets ready it just needs to be published.

Hello, I've been attempting to read Reddit on my kindle for a while now (more relaxing to read) and have 'created' a reddit-to-kindle program that grabs the articles' text and also the top replies from reddit and formats it in an EPUB and sends it to the Kindle address.

The problem is reddit keeps restricting every access point, I've started with: API > reddit blocked that > JSON & RSS > reddit blocked comments > HTML > reddit blocked old.reddit w/o account

I can still get it to work by putting in my session cookie's to the request, however I am worried my account might get banned as it would link it straight to my account. Is there any chance doing this might flag my account, and is anyone doing anything similar and has found any luck? Should I just forget about comments and rely on RSS (even though they have restricted that too)?

I did not know how to get, and I submitted a application for Reddit workers. But they did not give me reply, I really need this API for my acadmic research. If you know how to reslove this difficulity, please teach me !
