I was going to make a replit ask user info api, and I was wondering if there was any graphql for ask.replit.com which I could use instead of web scraping.

There is no gql. But there is an API. Unfortently most require an API key though. But if you give some more info on what you want to make and Ian will grant you a key if Ian and I like your idea

Yes but then you need an API key with the perms to do so and only admins can grant them. Only 1 of my keys have the perms to do so. And you could get rate limited not to mention me silencing or suspending the account to stop the mass posting
