Unofficial Reddit API - Discuss Online

I am making a Unofficial Reddit API, which mimics the official one. Its early days, but I would like to have a discussion here about it since my post was blocked on reddit(of course). Let me know what you think of the project, if you have any input, let me know.

Is there a reason you’re scraping data rather than attaching a network sniffer/reverse engineering the official apps and documenting the results? Or map the RSS feed to an API? The main thrust behind my comment is that I think scraping is pretty fragile, so I’m interested as to why other options are infeasible.

There's currently no implementation (the repos are currently just skeletons), so it could just be a semantics difference right now.
