Did you hear about the recent Reddit API changes, by any chance?

If you use a personal api token that only you are using it shouldn't have enough usage to cost anything

Even if it did cause an issue. Web scrapping is viable too

Failing that, there’s always a combo of wayback machine, reveddit etc.

Is "scrapping" autocorrect, a typo, or intended? Not meaning to be rude just interested because I've only heard of "web scraping" but often see people write "scrapping".

Not autocorrect. Just my half ass way of shortening the phrase
