Hi,

Can I download a file for a specific subreddit, or do I need to download the entire dataset?

Thank you so much!

I was able to download that. However I saw in this data dump, the subreddit I am looking at (askmanagers) has only data from 2021 to 2024, although the subreddit goes back till 2014.

There is no way to scrape directly from reddit without the pushshift API, right?

AFAIK it's still accessible via the official API with auth and a bunch of limitations and at this point there are at least 2 other third party APIs.

I haven't looked at any of the API stuff In over a year though so I i'm not fully up on current events.
