minus-squarehubobes@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 年前I mean the user initiates the login flow and gets the token, why does it matter how many users Relay has? In order to make requests to reddit’s API via OAuth, you must acquire an Authorization token, either on behalf of a user or for your client Maybe I am misunderstanding how API pricing for reddit works though. Do they count it against the app id and not the user?
