I have a bot to help bring in more content. Images, videos, and other links posted on Reddit are being crossposted here. Don’t worry, each will only appear once, and text only posts are not being crossposted.
Feel free to discuss this content at will in the relevant posts. If you want to give suggestions, tell me this is a horrible idea, or have other thoughts and opinions on this, post your thoughts here in this thread.
Will it work after the APIs are turned off? If not, will the bot scrape for the content?
It doesn’t use the API, it uses the json pages. If those get changed then the developer is planning on scraping.
The JSON page is a part of the API, sadly.
As long as I’m not compelled to visit reddit to view it. I want to give them zero traffic from me.
Just be careful of video or images actually hosted on Reddit then.
Without a doubt. I’m hoping for that sort of exclusionary process from anyone trying to provide content, and especially for anyone trying to migrate lots of content.
