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.

Early days is one thing, but if this is the entirety of the code

# WIP

Then there isn’t much to have a discussion about…

It mimics the official one perfectly

I thought you might be hyperbolic but that’s literally all it is.

This is a non starter.

I thought you were joking... but it's real.

Pretty sure that on average, I write more lines of Python per day than are in this repo at the moment, and I'm not constantly under threat of a cease and decist from arriving at my doorstep.

I consider myself the ideas guy.

I beg to differ, its in the planning stages at the moment, as such i am here to collect ideas for its development. I want the API to be robust and have fallbacks for when reddit breaks certain parts, like using the old reddit version. This is a big task, and it needs to be planned right.

You are trying to do something many people really did before but had to stop, loosing their job for some of them...

What make you thinks you can do better? If you have time, spent it on useful open source project instead on a dead horse like reddit...

my 2 cents...

You’ll be begging alright when reddit’s legal team finds you

Please read this.

Stop. This will not make your life better.

think you should at least have a toy version of your idea if that's the case.
