gen = api.search_comments(author='nasa', aggs="subreddit") a = next(gen) print(a)

Produces empty results

As a result

api.redditor_subreddit_activity('nasa')

Produces an error

Seconding this issue!

looks like aggs is returning blanks from the api.

for example:

returns:

}

Found the reason - according to this, this appears to be a problem with pushshift itself disabling the aggs feature, sadly.
