I am working on a reddit lead generator that pings you when someone wants a product like yours in real time, and It does so only when the intent is high.

Was using this only for my self, but i think it might be interesting for other people as well.

Are you using the reddit api or scraping new reddit posts/replies?

[backend_dev82]

Scraping. I applied for the token but never heard back. Reddit doesn't want new devs working on it.

Had the same experience with upwork, feels like the door has closed on easy api access to big site data, ironically funneling people's money to proxies and other scrape helpers instead of their own api.

Yeah, perhaps its due to noone wants LLMs trained on their data for free. I don't know, at least for reddit there are still ways to get the data for free.
