Limitations

Official feed snapshots only; no full-text search or full archive pagination. Comments are exposed as ordered kids IDs; no automatic recursive thread traversal. Recent updates are not a durable change log; HTML content and deleted/dead flags are preserved.

Site and app names identify the source only. Jsonify is not affiliated with or endorsed by them. How Jsonify reads sites, and how a site owner can opt out: for site owners.
