## Frequently asked questions
### Why was my request blocked by Reddit?
Your request has been blocked due to a network policy. This could be because you're accessing Reddit in an unusual way, such as through a script or an application without proper developer credentials.
### How can I get access to Reddit if my requests are being blocked?
Try logging in or creating an account to get back to browsing. If you're running a script or application, register or sign in with your developer credentials and ensure your User-Agent is unique and descriptive.
### What is a User-Agent and why is it important?
A User-Agent is a string that your browser or app sends to websites to identify itself. A unique and descriptive User-Agent helps Reddit recognize and properly handle your request, reducing the chance of being blocked.
### What should I do if I believe my request was incorrectly blocked?
If you think you were incorrectly blocked, or want to discuss easier ways to get the data you need, you should file a support ticket and include your IP address and Reddit account details.
