"What’s the best way to build a reddit scraper without getting banned?"
Hey y'all, I’m trying to scrape some Reddit data for a project but *really* don’t wanna get slapped with a ban.
Anyone got tips on how to do this without pissing off the admins? Like, should I use delays? Rotate user agents? Or just pray to the API gods?
Also, is it better to use the official API (even with its limits) or risk a custom reddit scraper? Seen mixed opinions.
Pls share your experiences—especially if you’ve done this recently. Don’t wanna waste time on something that’ll get nuked in a week lol.
Thanks in advance!
