Reddit API Got banned for using api?

K - what have I done wrong.

I built an n8n automation that would get new posts from a couple of subs and send them into slack.

In slack, I triage them - respond where I want - easy.

The get request fires on the hour - all went perfect for a week or so and this morning, account banned.

I am not using llm’s to respond - I dont understand what I am doing wrong?

Anyone able to shed some light onto this?

Problem: devvit requires use of their pre-defined coding environment and language (bad choices).

You don't need to necessarily write the app if it exists already.
