Reddit API
fine for a hobby bot, closed for a business
the free tier still works for hobby use, and commercial access now means manual approval and a contract — reddit treats its corpus as a licensed asset, and every restriction follows from that.
the free tier remains usable for non-commercial work at around a hundred queries a minute per authenticated client, and community libraries like praw still work fine against it.
commercial use is a different world. self-service registration for new commercial oauth access is effectively closed, new tokens need manual approval reported at two to four weeks with no guarantee, and commercial use requires a contract. there is no small paid tier — you go from free and non-commercial straight to enterprise negotiation.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
