Rate limits for the free tier of Reddit API Usage

Rate limits for the free tier All others will continue to access the Reddit Data API without cost, in accordance with our Developer Terms, at this time. Many of you already know that our stated rate limit, per this documentation, was 60 queries per minute. As of July 1, 2023, we will enforce two different rate limits for the free access tier: If you are using OAuth for authentication: 100 queries per minute per OAuth client id • If you are not using OAuth for authentication: 10 queries per minute Important note: currently, our rate limit response headers indicate counts by client id/user id combination. These headers will update to reflect this new policy based on client id only on July 1. To avoid any issues with the operation of mod bots or extensions, it's important for developers to add Oauth to their bots. If you believe your mod bot needs to exceed these updated rate limits, or will be unable to operate, please reach out here. If you haven't heard from us, assume that your app will be rate-limited, starting on July 1. If your app requires enterprise access, please contact us here, so that we can better understand your needs and discuss a path forward. Additional changes Finally, to ensure that all regulatory requirements are met in the handling of mature content, we will be limiting access to sexually explicit content for third- party apps starting on July 5, 2023, except for moderation needs. If you are curious about academic or research-focused access to the Data API, we've shared more details here.

API Update: Enterprise Level Tier for Large Scale Applications

0 Posted by u/Flying LaserTurtle 6 days ago API Update: Enterprise Level Tier for Large Scale Applications Reddit API tl;dr - As of July 1, we will start enforcing rate limits for a free access tier, available to our current API users. If you are already in contact with our team about commercial compliance with our Data API Terms, look for an email about enterprise pricing this week. We recently shared updates on our Data API Terms and Developer Terms. These updates help clarify how developers can safely and securely use Reddit's tools and services, including our APIs and our new-and-improved Developer Platform. After sharing these terms, we identified several parties in violation, and contacted them so they could make the required changes to become compliant. This includes developers of large-scale applications who have excessive usage, are violating our users' privacy and content rights, or are using the data for ad-supported or commercial purposes. For context on excessive usage, here is a chart showing the average monthly overage, compared to the longstanding rate limit in our developer documentation 60 queries per ute (86,400 per day): % above established rate limits for the largest apps (past 30 days) Percentage OVER 86,400 queries per day (60qpm) 500,000% 400,000% 300,000% 200,000% 100,000% 0% 438,675% App 1 121,100% App 2 106,642% App 3 49,419% App 4 31,225% 24,408% 17,508% 17,234 % 16,714% 11,205% App 5 1.6k Comments + Award App 6 App 7 App names have been purposely withheld Top 10 3P apps usage over rate limits App 8 We reached out to the most impactful large scale applications in order to work out terms for access above our default rate limits via an enterprise tier. This week, we are sharing an enterprise-level access tier for large scale applications with the developers we're already in contact with. The enterprise tier is a privilege that we will extend to select artners based on a number of factors, including value added to redditors and communities, and it will go into effect on July 1.

Reddit API Changes, Subreddit Blackout, and How It Affects You (/r/gaming)

r/gaming. Posted by u/Dacvak 21 hours ago 29.2k Reddit API Changes, Subreddit Blackout, and How It Affects You Hello r/gaming! tl;dr: We'd like to open a dialog with the community to discuss r/gaming's participation in the June 12th reddit blackout. For those out of the loop, please read through the entirety of this post. Otherwise, let your thoughts be heard in the comments. <3 As many of you are already aware, reddit has announced significant upcoming changes to their API that will have a serious impact to many users. There is currently a planned protest across hundreds of subreddits to black out on June 12th. The moderators at r/gaming have been discussing our participation, and while we've come to a vote and agreement internally, we wanted to ensure that whatever action we take is largely supported by our community. What's Happening • Third Party reddit apps (such as Apollo, Reddit is Fun and others) are going to become ludicrously more expensive for it's developers to run, which will in turn either kill the apps, or result in a monthly fee to the users if they choose to use one of those apps to browse. Put simply, each request to reddit within these mobile apps will cost the developer money. The developers of Apollo were quoted around $2 million per month for the current rate of usage. The only way for these apps to continue to be viable for the developer is if you (the user) pay a monthly fee, and realistically, this is most likely going to just outright kill them. Put simply: If you use a third party app to browse reddit, you will most likely no longer be able to do so, or be charged a monthly fee to keep it viable. • NSFW Content is no longer going to be available in the API. This means that, even if 3rd party apps continue to survive, or even if you pay a fee to use a 3rd party app, you will not be able to access NSFW content on it. You will only be able to access it on the official reddit app. Additionally, some service bots (such as video downloaders or maybe remindme bots) will not be able to access anything NSFW. In more major cases, it may become harder for moderators of NSFW subreddits to combat serious violations such as CSAM due to certain mod tools being restricted from accessing NSFW content. • Many users with visual impairments rely on 3rd-party applications in order to more easily interface with reddit, as the official reddit mobile app does not have robust support for visually- impaired users. This means that a great deal of visually-impaired redditors will no longer be able to access the site in the assisted fashion they're used to. • Many moderators rely on 3rd-party tools in order to effectively moderate their communities. When the changes to the API kicks in, moderation across the board will not only become more difficult, but it will result in lower consistency, longer wait times on post approvals and reports, and much more spam/bot activity getting through the cracks. In discussions with mods on many subreddits, many longtime moderators will simply leave the site. While it's tradition for redditors to dunk on moderators, the truth is that they do an insane amount of work for free, and the entire site would drastically decrease in quality and usability without them. Open Letter to reddit & Blackout In lieu of what's happening above, an open letter has been released by the broader moderation community, and r/gaming will be supporting it. Part of this initiative includes a potential subreddit blackout (meaning the subreddit will be privatized) on June 12th, lasting 48 hours or longer. We would like to give the community a voice in this. Do you believe r/gaming should fully support the protest and blackout the subreddit for at least June 12th? How long if we do? Feel free to leave your thoughts and opinions below. Cheers, r/gaming Mod Team 1.4k Comments $+ Award Share A Save

r/pics will go dark on June 12th in protest of Reddit's API changes that will kill 3rd party apps

r/pics. Posted by u/rPicsMods 1 day ago 3 74.¹k_r/pics will go dark on June 12th in protest of Reddit's API changes that will kill 3rd party apps Dear r/pics Community, today, we want to discuss an urgent matter that affects both the moderators and users. As you may be aware, the recent announcement made by Reddit regarding their APIs have raised significant concerns within the Reddit community. Starting on July 1st, Reddit has unilaterally decided to impose exorbitant charges on third-party app developers (Relay, Reddit is Fun, Apollo, Baconreader, Narwhal etc.) for utilizing their API. This decision has far-reaching consequences that not only hinder app developers but also affect the experience of moderators and users alike. The lack of maturity in Reddit's official app has made it difficult for us to fulfill our responsibilities as moderators efficiently, and it has also left many users dissatisfied with their browsing experience. In response to this situation, the moderators of r/pics have joined forces with other subreddit communities and their respective mod teams in a coordinated effort. We believe that unity is essential in driving change and advocating for the rights of app developers and the overall user experience. To amplify our message and demonstrate the strength of our concerns, r/pics will be participating in a temporary blackout starting on June 12th, lasting for 48 hours. During this blackout period, the subreddit will be set to private, rendering it inaccessible to all users. This collective action is intended to raise awareness and urge Reddit to reconsider th recent API changes. Our primary goal is to initiate a productive dialogue with Reddit, leading to a reversal of the detrimental modifications they have implemented. We understand that this blackout may cause temporary inconvenience to our community, and for that, we apologize. However, we firmly believe that this short-term disruption will bring long-term benefits for every user. By standing together with other subreddit communities, we hope to send a clear message to Reddit and foster a meaningful conversation about the future of their API policies. In the meantime, we encourage you to let reddit know that you disagree with their planned changes There are a few ways you can express your concerns: * Email Reddit or create a support ticket to communicate your opposition to their proposed modifications. * Share your thoughts on other social media platforms, spreading awareness about the issue. * Show your support by participating in the Reddit boycott for 48 hours, starting on June 12th. We appreciate your understanding, support, and active participation in this important endeavor. It is through the strength and dedication of our community that we can strive for a better Reddit experience for everyone involved. Thank you, The Mod Team of r/pics 1.6k Comments Award Share Save

Put simply: If you use a third party app to browse Reddit, you will most likely no longer be able to do so, or be charged a monthly fee to keep it viable. o A big reason this matters to r/pcgaming, and why we believe it matters to you, is that during our last user demographics survey, of 2,500 responses, 22.4% of users say they primarily use a third party app to browse the subreddit. Using this as sort of a sample size, even significantly reduced, is a non-negligible portion of our user base being forced to change the way they browse Reddit. o Some people with visual impairments have problems using the official mobile app, and the removal of third-party apps may significantly hinder their ability to browse Reddit in general. More info o Many moderators are going to be significantly hindered from moderating their communities because 3rd party mobile apps provide mod tools that the official app doesn't support. This means longer wait times on post approvals, reports, modmails etc. • NSFW Content is no longer going to be available in the API. This means that, even if 3rd party apps continue to survive, or even if you pay a fee to use a 3rd party app, you will not be able to access NSFW content on it. You will only be able to access it on the official Reddit app. Additionally, some service bots (such as video downloaders or maybe remindme bots) will not be able to access anything NSFW. In more major cases, it may become harder for moderators of NSFW subreddits to combat serious violations such as CSAM due to certain mod tools being restricted from accessing NSFW content. Note: A lot of this has been sourced and inspired from a fantastic mod-post on r/wow, they do a great job going in-depth on the entire situation. Major props to the team over there! You can read their post here Open Letter to Reddit & Blackout In lieu of what's happening above, an open letter has been released by the broader moderation community, and r/pcgaming will be supporting it. Part of this initiative includes a potential subreddit blackout (meaning, the subreddit will be privatized) on June 12th, lasting 24-48 hours or longer. On one hand, this is great to hopefully make enough of an impact to influence Reddit to change their minds on this. On the other hand, we usually stay out of these blackouts, and we would rather not negatively impact usage of the subreddit, especially during the summer events cycle. If we chose to black out for 24 hours, on June 12th, that is the date of the Ubisoft Forward showcase event. If we chose to blackout for 48 hours, the subreddit would also be private during the Xbox Extended Showcase. We would like to give the community a voice in this. Is this an important enough matter that r/pcgaming should fully support the protest and blackout the subreddit for at least 24 hours on June 12th? How long if we do?

Posted by u/PCGamingMegaMod 2 days ago 36.0k Reddit API Changes, Subreddit Blackout & Why It Matters To You [Mod Post] Greetings r/pcgaming, Recently, Reddit has announced some changes to their API that may have pretty serious impact on many of it's users. You may have already seen quite a few posts like these across some of the other subreddits that you browse, so we're just going to cut to the chase. What's Happening • Third Party Reddit apps (such as Apollo, Reddit is Fun and others) are going to become ludicrously more expensive for it's developers to run, which will in turn either kill the apps, or result in a monthly fee to the users if they choose to use one of those apps to browse. Put simply, each request to Reddit within these mobile apps will cost the developer money. The developers of Apollo were quoted around $2 million per month for the current rate of usage. The only way for these apps to continue to be viable for the developer is if you (the user) pay a monthly fee, and realistically, this is most likely going to just outright kill them.
