Reddit feeds no longer showing

wow. this must be some new (undocumented) policy. I’m still unclear what this “same enforcement” policy is though. I can’t even get a single RSS feed GET request in 24 hours to be accepted. I have to question whether the person who responded is being honest, or clueful about the issue.

Also, I see zero documentation on how to make oAuth authenticated RSS requests on reddit.

Hi @samuelclay , does oauth authn of RSS feeds even make sense? If so, is this something you can provide? Not having access to reddit via newsblur is a huge loss for me. :confused:

Bazqux seems to have fixed it by using oauth with Reddit API

Prepending the feed with with the old reddit url seems to work for the time being

So change "https://reddit.com/r/popular/.rss" into "https://old.reddit.com/r/popular/.rss"

Yeah its probably only a matter of time before that gets axed as well

I’ve applied for oauth API access on Reddit and will integrate it as soon as they let me in. I’ve done the same for YouTube, so it should be straightforward.

Thanks!

Yay, thanks, @samuelclay ! Happy Holidays!

Either @samuelclay did the thing, or Reddit has relaxed rate-limiting, because I’ve got a week’s worth of content from a few feeds, today. :slight_smile:

same, thanks folks :slight_smile:

I was building a Reddit API service and was getting close to launching it, but then Reddit relaxed their rate limit and we’re good again. If this breaks, I’ll continue working on the API service and get that launched instead. But since this works, I’m not going to switch to the API as that feels more likely to break than using vanilla RSS.

Thanks, @samuelclay. :slight_smile:

I’m still having this issue, although I am using the personal RSS feed URL, so it looks like

https://www.reddit.com/.json?feed=<token>&user=<username>

Is there a know way to fix this? Tried changing www to old, but that didn’t seem to make a difference.

Thanks
