Which REST endpoints are being called by the subreddit.stream.comments()?

[vgoklani]

I would like to replicate the subreddit.stream.comments() method via directly calling the Reddit REST API. Which endpoints are you using to synthesize the subreddit.stream.comments() stream? What about the subreddit.stream.submissions? Thanks!

Subreddit.stream.comments() makes requests to https://oauth.reddit.com/r/[subreddit]/comments/ and performs some logic on it (checking which posts have already been yielded). You can see the logic for that here, but be aware that there are open PRs and Issues having to do with changing this (#1025, #1043, #1050).

Subreddit.stream.submissions() makes requests to https://oauth.reddit.com/r/[subreddit]/new.

I found this information by using the snippet from Logging in PRAW and then making the requests. It prints output like

Fetching: GET https://oauth.reddit.com/r/[subreddit]/new
Data: None
Params: {'before': None, 'limit': 99, 'raw_json': 1}
Response: 200 (2324 bytes)
