I get the same problem. Is there any way to work around it somehow ?

Hello,
Has anyone being able to get pass the error? I am also facing the same issue.

Hello!

I'm also having this issue. It seems the /meta endpoint is down at the moment, which breaks the API because it can't discover the value for rate_limit_per_minute. If you specify this parameter in the API constructor, it seems to work;

from psaw import PushshiftAPI
api = PushshiftAPI(rate_limit_per_minute=60)

Worst case scenario ya'll can download the dump (archived dataset of reddit) of that specific month and just extract the data you need from it.
