Scraping subreddit comments from Pushshift API not working #134

I have seen several comments on this subject, does anyone have an answer why the API is not working anymore ?

I have been trying with this :

getPushshiftData2 = function (postType, ...) {
if (postType == "comment") {
getPushshiftURL(postType, ...) %>% jsonlite::fromJSON() %>%
.$data %>% jsonlite::flatten(recursive = TRUE) %>%
select(author, title, selftext, created_utc, id,
num_comments, score, subreddit) %>% as_tibble()
}
else {
getPushshiftURL(postType, ...) %>% jsonlite::fromJSON() %>%
.$data %>% jsonlite::flatten(recursive = TRUE) %>%
select(author, body, parent_id, score, created_utc, id,
subreddit) %>% as_tibble()
}
}

and save the date in conversion date to epoch

And all I get is empty files with the same date. There seems also to be a problem with the conversion between date to epoch conversion.
