Because Reddit doesn’t make money off that one…there is a paid for api as well for advertisers (no idea what’s that’s like)

We can and will freely throttle or block unidentified Data API users. You must use a User-Agent where possible. Change your client's User-Agent string to something unique and descriptive, including the target platform, a unique application identifier, a version string, and your username as contact information, in the following format: <platform>:<app ID>:<version string> (by /u/<reddit username>)

r/redditdev on Reddit: Reddit API Quickstart Guide

March 16, 2021 -

Hey,

I'd like to use Reddit from the command line and someone pointed me to the Reddit API. The documentation struck me as a bit complex, though. Could anyone direct me to some kind of simple list of steps for how to use it?

You have to make an account - then, do you download the API to your system, or do you just send HTTP requests or something? What are some specific examples of usage?

Thanks very much for any assistance.

If you want something very very simple you can take most reddit urls and append and .json at the end and you'll get the data: https://reddit.com/.json https://reddit.com/r/redditdev.json https://reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/m6m6x8/reddit_api_quickstart_guide/.json For anything else you have to get into OAuth with refresh & access tokens. Some general documentation: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/wiki/API Endpoint documentation: https://www.reddit.com/dev/api

r/node on Reddit: REST API documentation.

March 18, 2023 -

Hi, I am CTO at a startup company and recently we started focusing on streamlining internal processes, so we can increase the efficiency of development.

One of the areas that we have looked into is documentation, specifically the documentation of APIs. We mostly use two types of communication architectures either GraphQL or REST.

When it comes to GraphQL, the documentation part is straightforward. Playground covers all our needs - when Backend finishes the job Frontend can just access the playground and find all the information that they need.

It’s much more complicated with REST, as the documentation part has to be written completely manually. Meaning that after Backend finishes the job someone needs to manually write all the information regarding all the endpoints and this can take lots of time. We currently use Postman for this case, but I would like to find a better solution to these processes.

Has anyone previously come across such a problem? If so, how did you handle it? and is there any software/libraries that can make the process streamer?

Our Backend system is completely on NodeJS and Frontend is NextJS.

You should ideally be writing your API docs (for example using the open api spec) BEFORE you make any changes to your api. This allows code review of the proposed API contract before a line of code is written, it then also then allows creation of a request collection in insomnia or postman using your open API document.

swagger-ui should be helpful (and swagger-ui-express if you don't want to do set it up manually on express). With this you document the routes in code and the lib will generatr the full openapi doc, serve swagger ui, etc. I'm an advocate of an API design first approach: before creating or modifying a route, design the API first. This is good because it makes you think hard about proper API design, which contraints will there be, what needs to validated, etc. It also makes API docs part of the development process. Either way, even if you don't do that and only document afterward, it is fine. I find it strange that you say that someone needs to document after backend work is done. Does that mean devs are not doing this in the development process?

r/redditdev on Reddit: How to do a reddit search using API ? Not a subreddit search

September 24, 2022 -

The GUI search documentation for reddit (https://www.reddit.com/wiki/search/) says that it is possible to do a reddit search and retrieve Posts, Comments and Subreddits related to the search term.

Is there anyway to do something similar using the API? I've gone through PRAW but it only shows how to search within a Subreddit. What I want is to search reddit using API and retrieve Posts, Comments and Subreddits related to the search term.

Hope I've been able to explain my problem clearly :) I'm very bad in explaining things

The API documentation is here . You can search subreddits and posts, but comments aren’t available to search via the public API.

2 of 2

I'm not sure how to do it with praw (maybe set the subreddit to "all") but you can hit this endpoint manually: https://www.reddit.com/search.json?q=mysearchterm Alternatively, you could try using the Pushbullet API for more advanced queries.
