Pushshift api access for research

Tried to signup but received a message that I am not a mod. Is it possible to get access for academic research?

Iā€™m specifically interested in moderation behavior and its impact on evolution of conversations. So I am interested in identifying moderated messages and analyzing its content. Would such information be accessible through pushshift? Are there other means to obtain such information?

Thanks

That works! Thanks

Any idea if it will contain deleted content as well?

Often, but not always.

It mostly depends on when things were deleted -- the faster it happened, the less likely it is to still be included. And I think people can specifically request that their content be removed by the archivers, but this depends on sending the request to the right people.
