This pleases me.

Thank you.

well goshdang

But how to find everything else? Sorry for being such a noob.

If you want to search for a particular phrase, just replace the last parameter in the Lord Anthony link: q="lord anthony" q="tranthony sux"

Change the size parameter to up to 500 for more results.

Thank you!

Here's an archive of the top 50 posts of all time in case that site stops keeping track

Also, the wayback machine has quite a few snapshots at different times:

Any way to actually view the post links in the json? removeeddit doesn't work with them

It has whatever you want. But, I'm not sure what you mean by post links. Do you mean the page with comments? If you remove the fields parameter from the links, you can get much more (mostly useless) data, but not comments.

Top 50 posts with all fields

You can get the comments for a post with the post id using a different API, but they just return json.

I was thinking of viewing the original post under the full_link field, but I guess if you can get to the comments with some api that also works. which api can grab the comments for a post, if this one can't? still figuring out how to use this.

Here are the full API details

Getting comments by post id is not easy to do manually. You first get a list of "comment ids" for a particular "post id". Then get a list of comments by their ids.

bf6m41 is this post's "post id", as found in the url.

Get list of comment ids for this post:

https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/submission/comment_ids/bf6m41

Get actual comments by comma separated list of comment ids:

https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/comment/search?fields=author,body,permalink&ids=elb9ijf,elb9s0a,elbaplv,elbcfuz,elbcwvz,elbd31x,elbd9ua,elbdhra,elbdndi,elbfllx,elbh0e7,elbhhmm,elbhxn1,elbj6ns

Nice, I found this shit earlier but only saw files.pushshift.com and thought I had to download the 12 gig archives to see the data.

If it looks like the old sub is going to stay closed after awhile, I might see if I can start restoring the old sub in a more easily-readable way.

This is too much nerd shit for me to understand.

But I hope a man that is slightly straighter than me figures it out.

What a saint
