rp
05/04/2022, 6:42 PMok i am able to reproduce the error on my system!

05/04/2022, 6:59 PMSo the issue is that the API is returning a 429 response. The

rp
05/04/2022, 7:08 PMWe can investigate this issue further at some point in the future. Feel free to open an issue about this.

05/04/2022, 7:17 PMSolutions online say that we have to set a custom User-Agent for reddit to not rate limit the access_token call, but that doesn't work either - reddit still returns a 429. People online too face this issue even when setting different user-agents in the request header.

05/04/2022, 7:30 PMI have made an issue about this: https://github.com/supertokens/supertokens-golang/issues/87
It highlights how to reproduce the error and what to change in the SDK so that you can try and fix it.

05/04/2022, 11:15 PMHmm, I think I actually experienced this when I implemented reddit auth using Goth, let me go see what I did there as well.

05/04/2022, 11:23 PMI remember it being very particular, the user agent I used that worked was

05/04/2022, 11:25 PMI was actually using the go-reddit package if that helps: https://github.com/cameronstanley/go-reddit

05/04/2022, 11:27 PMHere's how they handle the auth: https://github.com/cameronstanley/go-reddit/blob/4bfac7ea95af/authenticator.go

05/05/2022, 4:44 AMah ok! let me try that
rp
05/05/2022, 4:56 AMeven after attaching the user-agent as mentioned above, reddit still gives a 429.
rp
05/05/2022, 4:56 AMIt's so strange..

08/06/2022, 10:48 AMHey, opening this issue up again months later since I'm back on this project. I got some small progress by setting GODEBUG=http2client=0 in my env, which now lets me get to a 401 auth code response. Bit better than the 429, but still not sure what else to do. It also seems like using a TLS RoundTrip protocol on the http client solves this without disabling http2 client support

08/06/2022, 10:49 AMHere's the reddit thread where I found these ideas: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/t8e8hc/getting_nothing_but_429_responses_when_using_go/

08/06/2022, 1:35 PMHmmm
rp
08/07/2022, 5:25 AMIm not sure how to help here. It really does seem like reddit doesn't want other sites to use sign in with Reddit

Infatuation
08/09/2022, 4:29 PMThat's a shame, I'll just deprecate reddit sign in anyways, too much of a hassle
