Our data-API bot has been completely blocked; more on that in this post, for context:

Aside from scraping, one of the workarounds we're exploring is using Devvit to retrieve user profile "Social Links", and then use some means (wiki pages/comments/messages maybe) to relay this to the data API. Obviously, this would be much simpler if we simply had a data API endpoint for this, but Reddit refuses to add one.
However, I cannot even log into Devvit via the CLI, as the underlying API for it also blocks me with the same 403 error that is preventing us from reaching the other API. I cannot test or even create an app to try this workaround.
An admin suggested the alternate (.onion) domain, which did partly fix our access to the data API (message link):
https://old.reddit.com/message/messages/2gpnzlc
However, there seems to be a bug with Devvit not working with this domain; after hacking the config.js files to use it, I simply get Error 500.
How are we supposed to use automation here if every possible avenue is totally blocked?
