🐛 Bug Report: "Error: Too Many Requests"

[PureAnarchy]

Hello,

I have been visiting the https://safereddit.com/ instance in the past week or so and I've noticed I often get an error when trying to access the site - "Error: Too Many Requests"; it's on version 30.1. I haven't tried accessing other instances so I don't know if the same issue persists. Also, I suspect this issue is occurring because of the recent API change for Reddit. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

Same thing for https://libreddit.domain.glass

[braboobssiere]

same for any instance i try

[akkisagiraju]

Same for https://r.nf as well.

Same for https://libreddit.hu and https://libreddit.de

It's borked.

[akkisagiraju]

Is there anything we can do? I am definitely going to miss Libreddit if it stops working. It has been the default way of browsing Reddit for me for more than a year. I cannot stand Reddit's atrocious UI.

@akkisagiraju One way would be to ditch reddit and move to the fediverse (Lemmy).

Same for https://lr.riverside.rocks. This will probably be the norm until we find another way to get Reddit's data.

Teddit seems to be having the issue aswell:

Same for https://libreddit.hu and https://libreddit.de

I just thought I somehow borked libreddit.de when I saw it at 65% uptime , but thats really unfortunate, I'll keep an eye on updates and try to get it running properly again asap.

I run the lr.riverside.rocks instance and my uptime monitor has going crazy. I hope this gets fixed, but I have a feeling reddit is cracking down on scraping.

They certainly are cracking down, but fortunately I do see some possibilities for us to still exist after this change. I’m working on them currently.

Displaying a cached successful API request in place of throwing an error could be good. Also increasing how long requests stay cached in client.rs

Happens in every instance I try. Is it a reddit block or libreddit bug?

Hi @PureAnarchy, please see this announcement about why these errors are happening (TL;DR Reddit is halting third-party clients) and the efforts of @sigaloid to potentially address them
