Hi,
I want to create an automatic posting bot and I have a few questions.
Does Reddit allow the use of Selenium?

Can I develop software using Python and the reddit API to automatically post to multiple accounts?

Copy their requests perfectly or use the api. You can also use chrome bots with the devtools protocol (avoid pupeteer/selenium etc), but those are very resource heavy.

Try posting manually to see how not to get banned first, then think about automating it, reddit is very difficult right now.

Click to expand...

and you need decades to build a bot using raw CDP commands

I would stay away from selenium, unless you really really know what you are doing.
Best would be if you can avoid API altogether and create a bot that is like a regular user.
You can easily develop a python based bot with selenium and/or their API, but that will probably get you banned as soon as you try to use it on more than like 3 accounts.

Reddit has become very strict especially with selenium. I would try and automate on top of an anti detect browser if that's possible for you

Reddit's API allows for automatic posting to multiple subreddits using Python

i dont recommend it as it will only lead to instant bans
