When someone posts a comment containing two or more google amp links only the first one gets processed.

Would be nice if the bot could process multiple links and display them in the same order as they appear in the comment.

I think the most reliable way to get the correct target page is to retrieve the google amp link and look for canonical relation in the HTML and embedded Javascript. Consider the following PCRE regexps:

<link\s+rel="?canonical"?\s+href="?(.*?)"?\s*/?>
<link\s+href="?(.*?)"?\s+rel="?canonical"?\s*/?>
"canonicalUrl":"(.*?)"

The target URL would be in the first grouping.

Please, please, please: if your bot has to exist, can't it be less verbose? I think it would really improve the reading experience on Reddit if its comments were as brief as possible. I'd advocate for something like:

Non-AMP link: https://www.example.com
Why?

That is a service. Its current verbosity is self-important, self-promoting spam.

Only bots that I authorize should be posting in my subreddit. How to ensure this doesn't happen again?

It appears the bot cut off everything after "one".

It posted the website icon instead of a link to the article.
