i implemented reddit integration using API of it. below is my code for login into reddit:
private void LoginMethod(){
String jsonString = "";
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
final ArrayList<NameValuePair> fields = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(3);
fields.add(new BasicNameValuePair("user", "test"));//will ask for a user to enter the password later
fields.add(new BasicNameValuePair("passwd", "test11"));
fields.add(new BasicNameValuePair("api_type", "json"));
final HttpPost request = new HttpPost("https://ssl.reddit.com/api/login");
try {
request.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(fields, HTTP.UTF_8));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(request);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
jsonString = EntityUtils.toString(entity);
System.out.println("response from redit = " + jsonString);
JSONObject jObject = new JSONObject(jsonString);
modhash = jObject.getJSONObject("json").getJSONObject("data").getString("modhash");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
using above method, its only works sometimes and mostly get response like below:

i dont know how to deal with this type of problem. i already did R&D on that but there are not much details or examples available for reddit integration.
So, help to solve this bug.
From the API Documentation:
Make no more than thirty requests per minute
You are going over that number and therefore your request are rejected.
