That was facebook

I'm sure it is possible they are doing it as well, but I was talking about what I saw on twitter's new design. I don't use Facebook, so it was definitely Twitter I saw. This was a while back, so potentially it isn't the case any more.

That fact that this is even offered is news to me. Is something similar offered in the UK?

Could you not just request the .json feed whenever you like without limits? ( by appending .json to the reddit URL )

I'm a little new to this but my understanding is that that would be the same as doing a GET request to the REST API. Which would have the same penalty for going over 30 req/s without an OAuth token.

For example, this is what my get request to the REST endpoint looks like without URL parameters:

GET reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/2w1xzo.json

Which returns the same response as appending .json to the the URL:

https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/2w1xzo/e...

Note that almost all subreddits only let you travel back 1,000 posts using the .json feed.

The exception is /r/all, which had infinite pagination, but the low API limits prevent much usability.

Great job! What made you make it in the first place? Did you know there was a need for it?
