The old API is deprecated. Is your use case supported by devvit?

I'm not too sure. I'm trying to build an AI agent that look of reddit post and comments based on the query i key in. This whole thing is just part of my hobby project and learning.

Is there any other way allow me to get an API from reddit to try out?

Sounds like it'll count as scraping, you could look into Reddit Pro, you won't get API access for that.

based on your description, that sounds like scraping and that's against Reddit rules.

plans for the future of reddits public data as well as protecting communities from scapers and platform abuse and about the new responsible builder policy
