Did you guys know that you can use CloudCo to scrape Reddit without using the Reddit API? Okay, let me show you how to do this. Now, the way I do this is take advantage of something known as the Reddit.JSON endpoint. , Reddit exposes unofficial .json endpoints on every Reddit page, which returns structured data without needing to use any authentication. So you can just append .json to the end of any Reddit
any authentication. So you can just append .json to the end of any Reddit URL and get the raw contents of it. And , therefore, scrape leads, comments, data, all that stuff to your heart's content. So I use Cloud Code to build a scrape Reddit Python function, which takes advantage of these endpoints using a request library, which allows me to bypass any need for any Reddit API keys and just scrape

So you can see here, I scraped the Cloud Code subreddit and just asked it to tell me about five new features that people are talking about based on upvotes and then tell me what people about them and what people dislike about them. Anyways, I've been using this for myself to keep on top of Cloud Code Trends and also my clients to help them with competitive
