Full threads search function for reddit removed?

Hi,

Am I right in saying that the search option "All posts in threads with matching posts (full threads) used to be present for searches of reddit, and isn't now? It's present for 4chan and 8kun, and I seem to remember it being present a few days ago for reddit too. Does someone know what's up?

Hi @citilu , the API endpoints used for this feature for Reddit stopped working, and the feature has been disabled until we have the time to investigate and, if possible, fix the issue.

Thanks so much for the quick reply. Don't suppose anyone has seen anything on Pushshift's channels about the API endpoints not working? I haven't spotted anything.

Hi there @citilu , this feature could still work in theory. That said, Pushshift seems a bit volatile at the moment and the main API is only returning 100 comments per requests. This makes retrieving full threads a bit cumbersome.

I will try to re-add this feature sometime this week.

Closing this in light of the Reddit API price hike.
