Unofficial Reddit API (github.com)

I am making a Unofficial Reddit API, which mimics the official one.

Its early days, but I would like to have a discussion here about it since my post was blocked on reddit(of course).

Let me know what you think of the project, if you have any input, let me know.

Is there a reason you're scraping data rather than attaching a network sniffer/reverse engineering the official apps and documenting the results?

Wouldn't those other options be C&D'd?

This is likely to be C&D'd as well if it ever reaches the point where it does anything useful (remember, reddit doesn't need grounds that would hold up in court to send a C&D).

Don't worry, it won't be a problem. I have taken reasonable measures to ensure my anonymity. and also you can't really kill free/libre software easily anyways.

You are using github so i doubt it is really the case.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's only mirrored on GitHub.

I know, he is also hosted on a german association with the same id. Both github and the association will have to follow the laws anyways.
