r/redditdev

Please, forgive me if what I say is ignorant, but I really need a bit of help.

I moderate a couple of subreddits and I created a couple apps to help me moderate them, as part of the developers I got a mod mail from Reddit saying that are making long time changes to the Public API. Now, my apps use all "@devvit/pubblic-api" but likely talks about Python and PRAW apps that use Reddit API.

I'm a bit confused if my apps will be impacted by this change or not, can you please help me understand this changes? Thank you.

I don't know TypeScript, but am familiar with python. At one point I was able to get PRAW working but then it stopped and I haven't been able to get it since. Trying to apply for access Just sends me in a loop of pages

I am trying to register my bots and one thing it asks for is the account pw. Its not a login or anything, so that seems a bit odd to me.

All of the praw bots i run touch over 50 subs each and do content modding and use my own db tables to track long term items. I built my own web portal to control all of them and the mods log into there and control it. From what i have read.. devvit def wont work for this kind of stuff since it is a per sub setup. The bots i run are more "enterprise" style bots.

I have several bots that I use to assist in modding my subreddits using the "old" data api via PRAW/Python. When I originally built them, I set them up to use a single account created for that purpose.

While I'd eventually like to migrate them to Devvit, in the meantime I want to know if based on the recent communications I'd need to move each of these to it's own user/app account?

I recently received another modmail about a bot I run to help manage my sub, saying that it will be affected by the upcoming changes and needs to be registered. The problem is that the bot has already been registered since March. When I tried to re-re-re-register it, Reddit told me that the bot has already been claimed as an app.

I’m not sure if I’m missing something, but I’m not sure what else I’m supposed to do here.

I operate a small, read-only monitor. It checks 12 Reddit searches. Each search uses `search.rss?sort=new`

The monitor runs two times each day< and it stores responses and removes duplicate post IDs.

It sends selected posts discussions for me to review.

⚠️ The monitor does not vote, comment, submit posts, collect user profiles, or automate engagement.

Usually, one feed updates properly, but most other feeds return HTTP 429.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I'm trying to submit a Data Access Request for a business account. Every time I complete the form and click Submit, the page reloads and the required “Your email address” field is cleared, so the request is never submitted.

I've already tried:

* Chrome normal mode
* Chrome Incognito
* English version of the form
* Two different email addresses
* A verified Reddit account/email

The same issue happens every time. There is no confirmation, ticket number or verification email.

Is this a known issue with the Data Access Request form? Is there another official way to submit the request while the form is not working?

Thanks.

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!
