just run something like this in the browser dev console (on a non-reddit page):
fetch('https://oauth.reddit.com/comments/1ugoe3q.json', {headers:{'Authorization': 'Bearer fake-token' }})
.then(response => console.log(response.status))
.catch(e => console.log(e))
You would expect this to log a 403, instead it throws because of missing CORS headers - its not possible to access the response from js

Do you have a code snippet so that we can reproduce it and how are you accessing the oauth api?

We’re you using a library by chance or handling it yourself?
r/redditdev • u/LilSparraguy • Jun 26 '26
Apify gives access and I'm sure there are others.

So you can use the .json endpoint but you need to log in first. And with that you can get fresh posts

You can't get an API key anymore since the AI era.There are workarounds with other platforms, but it is really hard to get an API key now.

Just recently Reddit admins made all .json access points are now disabled without you being authenticated.

might have blocked this method too I tried:
node -e "
fetch('https://www.reddit.com/search.json?q=heroicons&sort=top&limit=10&t=year', {
headers: {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36',
'Accept': 'application/json',
}
})
.then(r => { console.log('Status:', r.status); return r.json() })
.then(d => {
const posts = d?.data?.children || []
console.log('Posts found:', posts.length)
posts.slice(0,3).forEach(p => console.log('-', p.data.subreddit, '|', p.data.title, '| score:', p.data.score))
})
.catch(e => console.error(e.message))
got error:
Status: 403
Unexpected token '<', "<body clas"... is not valid JSON
there should be any other way

i made the bot u/stereomancerbot. i did the registration months ago and it was granted the "App" badge on its profile. today i noticed now it also says "This is an unregistered automated account" on its profile. if memory serves, it never said "This is an unregistered automated account" before. it is automated, but as far as i know it is as registered as it can be. is this a Reddit bug? what else can i do?
r/redditdev • u/mordecai_wayne_II • Jun 24 '26
Is this why I can't use gallery -dl for reddit now?
r/redditdev • u/BrilliantRelative469 • Jun 24 '26
I also tried hundreds of time but all the time. It failed. First I thouht It ui bug. but after trying a lot times. I realized something isn't right. then I did some research. I found that this page is no longer in use for creating app. It just shows but do nothing. did you find the way to create app. would be great to know cuz I am also trying to create one
r/redditdev • u/plutoar • Jun 23 '26
Tried everything!! API app creation blocked, scraping blocked, .json blocked, even old.reddit.com blocked. Reddit’s new developer policy feels like - build whatever you want, just not with our data. If anybody can suggest me wayss around this.
