i've tested this, it works

It is not possible to use aiohttp instead of httpx for some reason. I have tested extensively with requests, aiohttp, and httpx. requests and httpx will always work, while aiohttp will always return too many requests.

Is it not possible this is a the result of aiohttp's user-agent? Did you test that?

Everything looks good. Just waiting for a response on whether aiohttp's UA is the cause of 429s before approval.

Yeah, I looked into this. No clue why 429s are resulting, but it keeps to be due to aiohttp capitalizing a header or some SSL difference.

After looking into it a bit more, I found a similar issue with aiohttp and the Telsa API returning 403s: aio-libs/aiohttp#5643.

Drawing from the discussion on that issue, it looks like Reddit is returning a 429 for SSL issues. This code to override the SSL ciphers resolves the aiohttp 429 issue for me (where setting the UA alone did not):

import aiohttp, asyncio, ssl

async def test():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        headers = {'user-agent': 'AlexBot:v1.0.0'}
        url = 'https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/5gn8ru.json'
        
        FORCED_CIPHERS = (
            'ECDH+AESGCM:DH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:DH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+AES:ECDH+HIGH:'
            'DH+HIGH:ECDH+3DES:DH+3DES:RSA+AESGCM:RSA+AES:RSA+HIGH:RSA+3DES'
        )
        sslcontext = ssl.create_default_context()
        sslcontext.set_ciphers(FORCED_CIPHERS)

        resp = await session.get(url=url, headers=headers, ssl=sslcontext)
        print(resp)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(test())
