Pushshift API VS pmaw

As an average user, you may not notice much difference in your browsing experience. For those using external moderation or accessibility tools, though Reddit has announced that tools/apps focusing on accessibility and moderation will not be negatively affected by the pricing changes, many of these tools are already provided by third-party apps that will be affected. Sites such as Unddit (for tracking post/comment edit history), which run on APIs like Pushshift, that are not quite covered under the vague criteria of being “legal, non-commercial, and helpful to mods,” are likely to no longer work as intended going forward.

Pushshift also supports other query parameters, such as specifying a time range using 'before' and 'after' or sorting the results by 'score', 'num_comments', etc. You can find the full list of query parameters in the Pushshift documentation: https://github.com/pushshift/api

The thing to look at is Pusshift: https://github.com/pushshift/api

Rule 3 says I can't link directly, but I can link to this. Pushshift is absolutely amazing for things like this. Just enter a url like http://api.pushshift.io/reddit/search/comment?q="\[START OF COMMENT TEXT]" and you should be able to find it quite easily.

In the meantime, the third party tool Pushshift can accomplish pretty much the same thing, just with some effort. It's a database of (almost) every comment and submission on Reddit, and you can filter the results based on things like the author and keywords in the body. You can write the queries yourself, but it's much easier to just use a webpage designed to make it easy. For example, if you wanted to find old KITTY pings, you could just enter "groupbot" in the author field, and "KITTY" in the "search term" of https://camas.unddit.com/. The result is this:

It has, https://github.com/pushshift/api code behind the api server here.

Oh a whole lot of them. Pushshift was large enough to have its own libraries ( https://github.com/mattpodolak/pmaw ) so the first step will be to recreate the API 1:1 and get tools like reddit search and reveddit working again.

There are two libraries for making Pushshift requests: PMAW, and RedditWarp.

If I understand correctly, libraries like pmaw combine the PushShift API with the Reddit API? Is that correct?..

Move to PMAW which is also broken but maintained and the dev says they'll have it fixed this week.

if you're using python you can check out the PSAW or PMAW wrappers

I also followed this tutorial on getting comment ids from submission ids but it outputs no data as well
