View submission: An Update Regarding Reddit’s API
If this is just enforcing the 60 requests a second limit more strictly and adding a paid tier with higher limits I'm a big fan.
This is where we are aiming. Part of the work here is to actually take apart where and how we do have rate limits (lot of cruft in there to wade through) and provide some consistency, but in spirit, 60 QPM (previous terms were 60 queries per *minute* btw not second like you said!) is fairly well followed and therefore keeping it would be minimally disruptive!
Safeguards or just removing the content completely? Will, for example, posts in NSFW subreddits simply not appear in /api/info calls? Or will their feeds be inaccessible through the api?
For general feeds, it would to not provide the content for sexually explicit material (which is a subset of “NSFW”). Keeping in mind, we have to be careful here in that we don’t want to impact moderation bots/scripts/whathaveyou as part of this work, so we’ll likely have to create some of carve out, and be very careful as we roll this out.
This is why we are announcing this early, 60 days before we plan to make changes. We expect the “changes” here to be gradual as there are a lot of edge and corner cases to consider. We don’t want to pull an *insert snarky name of competitor here*.

Oops, 60 per minute you're right.

Okay so this is just the policy change and you're not actually sure what the changes will be yet?
Any chance you could answer the why? Again I totally understand restrictions on NSFW content in the website and native apps, but I don't understand why you're adding additional restrictions on top of that to the API. How does that make users "safer"?

Hopefully before that 60 days is up someone will know what those changes are going to be?

lol, like 60 days is a lot of notification for effectively killing 3p apps. And it's not even really 60 days, since you don't have the answers of what's changing.

Bad news for you. You already are. You are just not yet ready to realize it. Oooh, the 60 days notice totally makes a difference... NOT.
You are cutting ppl of a huge part of your site and the only reason is to try and get ppl to use your inferior app. And you know it is inferior. Otherwise there wouldnt be so many ppl using 3rd party apps, would there?
So, instead of improving your offerings in order to get the user into your app environment you rather torpedo the competition and just assume every user of theirs comes running to you? Yeah, I hope your CV is up to date as this deal will hit you ppl in the face as soon as you pull the plug. And again, it doesn't matter in the slightest if you pull it now, tomorrow or in 60 days.

this is where we are aiming
Why announce changes if you don't even know what the changes are? This post reads more like an inter office memo

So basically you’re going to slowly boil the frog, unlike tumblr which put the frog in already boiling water. End goal is the same, I suppose.

Accessing NSFW posts isn't an edge or corner case, though.

Limiting requests to 60 per minute will NOT be "minimally disruptive" it'll cripple 3rd party apps like the one In using currently. Especially if that limit is per app (which would include all the app's users) instead of being IP-based.

How does it feel to have a corporate hand shoved inside you and using you as a puppet?
