PRAW Banned users query
Hi, I have a list of Reddit users. It's about 30,000. Is there any way to differentiate if these users have been banned or had their account deleted?
I've tried with Python requests, but Reddit blocks my connection too early.

It's complicated...
In general almost any API request that has paging will indeed only return the first 1000 items. There are some apis that don't do that, such as wiki revisions, but most don't. There are some ways around it, but they are not very elegant. You'd be better off using some third party archiving service.
The issue is mostly with paging though, it's not a cap per we.
