I run GrantsBot, which is listed here.
I've updated all GrantsBot API requests to use rawcontinue=1. But as I read through this thread, it's not clear to me that that's the problem. I can't find a single instance in my code where I'm actually continuing a query. Does this breaking change only apply be an issue if you were using querycontinue in the first place?
I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere or I'm missing something obvious, but I'd be grateful for specific confirmation :)
Best, Jonathan

If possible, could you compile a list of bots affected at a lower threshold - maybe 1,000. That will give us a better idea of the scale of bots operators that will be affected when this lands - currently in one months time.
I already have the list of *accounts* affected: there are 510 with
between
1000 and 10000 hits. Of those, 454 do not contain "bot" (case insensitively), so they might be human users with user scripts, or AWB if that's not fixed (someone please check!), or the like. For comparison, in the over-10000 group there were 30 such that I filtered out.
I'll want to check with Legal to make sure the additional release of account names is still compliant with the privacy policy (I'm almost but not entirely sure it would be ok).
Legal recommended we only post the list of bots, not the human accounts. These are:
AHbot AsuraBot Autobot BattyBot Bibcode_Bot Bottuzzu ChenzwBot Cydebot DickensBot DrTrigonBot DSisyphBot DumbBOT DYKHousekeepingBot DYKUpdateBot FBot GiftBot GrantsBot HangsnaBot HangsnaBot2 ImageRemovalBot InceptionBot JackBot JBot Jimmy-bot Kenrick95Bot KrBot KrinkleBot LivingBot MalafayaBot MaraBot MauroBot MBHbot Mr.Z-bot NowCommons-Sichtbot Olafbot PereBot PseudoBot QianBot Rainbot Reports_bot RFF-Bot Salebot Sanjeev_bot SemperBlottoBot SergoBot SHBot Steenthbot TurkászBot UWCTransferBot VlsergeyBot VriuBot YiFeiBot Yobot ZacheBot Zlobot
Note this list is still from May 23–29; a bot appearing in this list may have been updated since then.
