SaidIt App Development Guidelines

SaidIt is not Reddit! This document will help you to understand the differences that pertain to apps and clients.

Home page

• Due to SaidIt's configurable home page feature, requesting https://saidit.net/top returns content from an unknown sub! It could be /s/all or /s/home or /s/subscribed especially if users are logged into your app/client.
  • Instead, request 'Home' content from /s/home, 'Subscribed' content from /s/subscribed, and 'All' content from /s/all
  • Aka hardcode all sub paths

Voting

• Voting directions
  • Reddit: upvote 1, downvote -1, unvote 0
  • SaidIt: insightful vote 1, unvote insightful 11, funny vote -1, unvote funny -11
• Vote counts
  • Currently not implemented, only score is available, see known issues below

Type Prefixes

• Reddit: t1_ comment, t2_ account, t3_ post, t4_ message, t5_ subreddit
• SaidIt: t1_ comment, t2_ account, t3_ award, t4_ subreddit, t5_ link, t6_ message, t7_ promocampaign, t8_ globalban, t9_ ipban
