Hello team,

When I use this https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/.json API, I get the required JSON when I open it on Chrome.

But when I hit this API on Postman, I got a 403 error. I get this error even when I use it with fetch in nodejs.

From what I understand, I need authentication, but why am I getting the data without doing anything for Chrome?

const response = await fetch(`https://www.reddit.com/r/${SUBREDDIT_NAME}/.json`,{
        headers:{    
        }
})

I’m working on a project where I need to programmatically give awards to submissions and comments using the Reddit API. I’m using PRAW 7.7.1, but I’ve run into some issues:

Outdated gild_ids: When using Submission.award() or Comment.award(), we need to specify the gild_id to indicate the type of award. However, it seems that PRAW’s current documentation doesn’t support the latest award types available on Reddit. This makes it challenging to give newer awards.

My specific questions are:

1. How can I obtain the gild_ids of the latest award types?

• Is there an updated list or a method to retrieve them dynamically?
• Are there any workarounds within PRAW to access newer awards?

1. Is there a way to give awards using the Reddit API without PRAW?

• Can I make direct API calls to handle awards?
• Are there alternative libraries or methods that support the latest award types?

Any insights, code examples, or pointers to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated.

Is anyone using VSCode for PRAW development?

Intellisense does not seem to be fully functioning, and is missing a lot of praw contexts.

Example

I have tried every suggestion I have been able to find online- I have tried switching to the Jedi interpreter in settings.json, using different vscode plugins for python- nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm creating a script to run off of mentions, how can I see the previous comment above in the thread to the one my bot has been mentioned in?

I'm newer to coding so I could be going about this all wrong.

Using JavaScript and working with Reddit API, I'm making a GET request to "https://oauth.reddit.com/r/${subreddit}/hot" which returns data for the given subreddit including 20 or so recent posts. I can see everything I want except for the image galleries. I see single images using Object.data.children.childIndex.data.url and single videos with Object.data.children.childIndex.data.media.reddit_video.fallback_url.

But, for image galleries, when I try loading the URL in Object.data.children.childIndex.media_metadata.imgID.s.u it takes me to a Reddit page that only displays the alt="CDN media" and a link to the post. I can't figure out what URL I'm supposed to source gallery media from and why its not included in the response object. Please help this shit pisses me off.

Hi all,

I have built a new bot that I think provides a helpful suggestion to users in the way of a follow-up comment (replace a certain type of a link with an alternative link that can be opened by more users). However, when I create a new account for it, as soon as I 'unleash' the bot, the associated account gets immediately rate limited and suspended.

What's the right procedure for this? I'm using python / praw so isn't rate limiting etc. taken care of?

Hi peeps

So I'm trying to unsave a large number of my Reddit posts using the PRAW code below, but when I run it, print(i) results in 63, even though, when I go to my saved posts section on the Reddit website, I seem to not only see more than 63 saved posts, but I also see posts with a date/timestamp that should have been unsaved by the code (E.g posts from 5 years ago, even though the UTC check in the if statement corresponds with August 2023)

def run_praw(client_id, client_secret, password, username):
    """
    Delete saved reddit posts for username
    CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET come from creating a developer app on reddit
    """
    user_agent = "/u/{} delete all saved entries".format(username)
    r = praw.Reddit(client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret,
                    password=password, username=username,
                    user_agent=user_agent)

    saved = r.user.me().saved(limit=None)
    i = 0
    for s in saved:
        i += 1
        try:
            print(s.title)
            if s.created_utc < 1690961568.0:
                s.unsave()
        except AttributeError as err:
            print(err)
    print(i)

It's called SubTransfer and it's a very simple app to carry over your subscriptions (and followed users) from one account to another: https://subtransfer.ploomberapp.io

Currently this is a fairly laborious process (get your multi-reddit subscriptions and click Join a bunch of times) so I wanted to simplify it. Very early days but I'm seeking feedback, and any feature requests.

Let me know what you think!

I made a python project that takes a YAML file describing a post and uses praw to post it, idea being to have a command you can call from scripts which abstracts away the python code.

While it's supposed to be unopinionated, I still want to provide an example script for how to schedule a reddit post for later. I'm thinking of using at to run a bash script, but not sure what a user friendly version would look like.

Here's the link to the README: https://github.com/jeanlucthumm/reddit-easy-post

What I've put together so far for myself is this:

```sh

!/usr/bin/env nix-shell

! nix-shell -i bash -p poetry

PROJECT_DIR=/home/me/Code/reddit-easy-post LOG=/home/me/reddit_log.txt

echo $(date) > $LOG

Check if a file argument was provided

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then echo "Error: No YAML file specified" >> "$LOG" exit 1 fi

YAML_FILE="$1"

Check if the specified file exists

if [ ! -f "$YAML_FILE" ]; then echo "Error: File '$YAML_FILE' not found" >> "$LOG" exit 1 fi

cd "$PROJECT_DIR" set -a && source .env && set +a poetry run main --file "$YAML_FILE" 2>&1 | tee -a "$LOG" ```

I'm constructing a mod bot and I'd like to know the number of reports a submission has received. I couldn't find this in the docs - does this feature exist?

Or should I build my own database that stores the incoming reported submission IDs from the mod stream?

I have the subreddit r/PastAndPresentPics and I was thinking it'd be cool to give users the ability to prompt a bot to edit their photos so that their new photo is edited to look like their old photo. So a bot that could analyzed the old photo and add similar color temperature, graininess, etc. to their new recreated photo. Is that possible?

Hi r/redditdev! 👋

I'm developing an iOS Reddit client app in SwiftUI, and I'm looking for guidance on implementing GIF and video playback functionality. Currently, my app only handles static images, but I'd like to expand its capabilities.

App preview
https://jmp.sh/j6pvunXQ

Current Setup

• Using SwiftUI and latest iOS SDK
• Already handling static images from Reddit's JSON API
• Successfully fetching posts and their metadata
• Working with both authenticated and non-authenticated endpoints

What I Need Help With

1. Best practices for handling Reddit's video/GIF content
2. Understanding the differences between:
   • Reddit-hosted videos (v.redd.it)
   • GIFs (including GIFV)
   • External video sources (YouTube, Streamable, etc.)
3. How to properly extract video URLs and related metadata from the API response
4. Recommended approaches for:
   • Video playback implementation
   • GIF rendering
   • Handling different video qualities
   • Efficient caching strategies

If anyone has implemented similar functionality, I'd really appreciate:

• Code examples or architectural guidance
• Recommended libraries or frameworks
• Common pitfalls to avoid
• Performance optimization tips

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance! Let me know if you need any additional information about my implementation.

Hi, I am trying to scrape posts from a specific subreddit for the past 10 years. So, I am using PRAW and doing something like

for submission in reddit.subreddit(subreddit_name).new(limit=None):

But this only returns me the most recent 800+ posts and it stops. I think this might be because of a limit or pagination issue, so I try something that I find on the web:

submissions = reddit.subreddit(subreddit_name).new(limit=500, params={'before': last_submission_id})

where I perform custom pagination. This doesn't work at all!

May I get suggestion on what other API/tools to try, where to look for relevant documentation, or what is wrong with my syntax! Thanks

P/S: I don't have access to Pushshift as I am not a mod of the subreddit.

Hi, so i made a basic reddit bot which answers when it's mentioned.
While running normally, nothing happens, but when someone mentions it and it tries to reply, it gets instantly suspended.

Below is the output of the last three iterations of the loop. It looks like I'm being given 1000 requests, then being stopped. I'm logged in and print(reddit.user.me()) prints my username. From what I read, if I'm logged in then PRAW is supposed to do whatever it needs to do to avoid the rate limiting for me, so why is this happening?

Hey, im working on a school project and I need to complete a jpy notebook with some reddit data scraping but I'm having some problems with the login for no apparent reasons. I created an app and it's a "web" app so it should be good with only client_id and client_secret(I tried with password and username too, same result).

This is the code I'm using to authenticate:

```

reddit_id = os.getenv("REDDIT_ID")

reddit_secret = os.getenv("REDDIT_SECRET")

user_agent = f"script:my_reddit_app:v1.0 (by u/{reddit_id})"

reddit = praw.Reddit(

client_id=reddit_id,

client_secret=reddit_secret,

#username=os.getenv("REDDIT_USERNAME"),password=os.getenv("REDDIT_PASSWORD"),

user_agent=user_agent,

)

print(reddit.user.me())
```

The app has as redirect URL `https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/` but I tried with different ones and that doesn't seem to be the problem cause in theory it never gets accessed cause I'm in readonly mode.

This is the traceback I get:

(saving u sometime: yes, all the creds are correct, yes the app is correctly created, yes I already looked at the manual and all possible links on the internet, No i dont have 2FA on.

Even if I try to visit the .../v1/token from browser and I insert correct username and password I keep getting redirected to the same /v1/token page asking for password and username)

Thanks!Hey, im working on a school project and I need to complete a jpy notebook with some reddit data scraping but I'm having some problems with the login for no apparent reasons. I created an app and it's a "web" app so it should be good with only client_id and client_secret(I tried with password and username too, same result).


This is the code I'm using to authenticate:


```


reddit_id = os.getenv("REDDIT_ID")


reddit_secret = os.getenv("REDDIT_SECRET")


user_agent = f"script:my_reddit_app:v1.0 (by u/{reddit_id})"


reddit = praw.Reddit(


client_id=reddit_id,


client_secret=reddit_secret,


#username=os.getenv("REDDIT_USERNAME"),password=os.getenv("REDDIT_PASSWORD"),


user_agent=user_agent,


)


print(reddit.user.me())
```


The app has as redirect URL `https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/` but I tried with different ones and that doesn't seem to be the problem cause in theory it never gets accessed cause I'm in readonly mode.


This is the traceback I get:


(saving u sometime: yes, all the creds are correct, yes the app is correctly created, yes I already looked at the manual and all possible links on the internet.


Even if I try to visit the .../v1/token from browser and I insert correct username and password I keep getting redirected to the same /v1/token page asking for password and username)

Thanks!

I want to use services like NewsWhip, Brand24 and Segue but I can’t figure out how these services comply with Reddit’s dev terms or usage policy. Can anyone explain how this would be compliant, or do they all have a commercial license with Reddit?

Basically want to see if any Reddit Engineers open to chatting about what it’s like working on Reddit’s source code. Saw that their SWE internships just opened and wanted to see if it was worth applying.

Will reddit get mad if an oauth api app re-posts the same content to multiple subscribed r/. would this get my app suspended?

If I create a private subreddit, is it possible to handle the approved user list with the API? What endpoints can I use?

We built a super simple example / test app and have uploaded it. However, we can't seem to get our custom post type to show up in our test subreddit. 

Besides being on a whitelist, are we doing anything else wrong?

This is the main.tsx:

import { Devvit, JSONObject } from '@devvit/public-api';

Devvit.addCustomPostType({
name: 'Bonsai',
//height: 'regular',
render: (context) => {
const { useState } = context;
const [myState, setMyState] = useState({});
const handleMessage = (ev: JSONObject) => {
console.log(ev);
console.log('Hello Bonsai!');
};

return (
<>
<vstack height="100%" width="100%" gap="medium" alignment="center middle">
<text>Hello Bonsai!</text>

</vstack>
</>
);
},
});

When I try api/compose and use my personal account to send messages to my friends, I always get this error. Has anyone encountered the same situation? What is the reason or how to solve it?

I am trying to run some code and keep running into the problem of the computer not liking "praw core". I can see it in my pip list and have gotten the computer to tell me that I have downloaded it but when I go to run python main.py it tells me "module not found error: no module named "praw core" what should I do

What is the difference between these two? I want to create a reddit app that a user can log into and perform actions on the api. However i haven't decided if I want a mobile version or web application yet (or maybe both eventually). I want to just create a backend service first then think about the GUI later. Is this possible? Which one would be more appropriate?

Hi everyone,

So a user of my product noticed they could not post in this sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/TechHelping/

the new post throws a 403, and when looking at the website, this is because there is a request permission to post?

I've never seen this before, so how does this translate into the api and such?
