    I modified the script from https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/16226/Wrote-a-script-to-edit-all-my-posts which uses the python library PRAW. Someone else pointed me to a script in python that’s already using Pushshift though - I am gong to take a look since AFAICT that is the only way to get this accomplished.

      I feel like the only way to get everything is to use GDPR archive files. Your reddit profile doesn’t show all of your comments.

      Shreddit can use these files, however you have to pay $15 for the feature.

        I think shreddit.com is based on someone maintaining and fixing the old python open source shreddit script on github. Both that version and the new rust shreddit support using the GDPR archive files I believe for free, you just have to run it yourself.

        The issue is that I may not get my archive file untl after July 1st, at which point I’m worried that these scripts will stop working due to the API changes. Even $15 on shreddt.com may no longer be an option.

          My GDPR request came back in a couple days, best to request it ASAP though.

            When did you make your request?

            I already made mine, still no response yet, almost a week.

            Another person reported that they’ve been waiting over a week with no updates yet, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/46805/Strange-phenomenon-while-deleting-my-comments#entry-comment-199192

              I did mine in the end of April, got it on 1 May.

              Also, according to the github shreddit, when you use GDPR it uses that “instead of reddit APIs”, so it will basically be opening the links and editing that way. That should be fine against reddit’s API. However I just ran it and it didn’t appear to do much…

                The full text of that line is:

                instead of Reddit’s APIs for discovering your data

                Looking at the source code, it seems like it’s still using the API to actually delete and edit.
