A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Summarized from a recent call between Reddit leadership and some Reddit-partnered moderators/developers, there will be free non-commercial API access. As you need to provide your own credentials to authenticate when using PRAW, if you qualify under whatever is ultimately defined as "non-commercial use" you may continue to use PRAW.
Now, as to whether Reddit's recent actions bode any confidence for you in putting into any effort leveraging their API and/or other tools, that's a separate (and probably worthwhile) question to ask.
Whether PRAW's maintainers want to keep PRAW maintained in light of these announcements is also a separate question too.
