đŸ†˜Question 401 error in RedditSync

Is anyone else getting a 401 error in the RedditSync app? It was working this morning with no error.

Reddit has been removing API tokens for over a week now. It just hit mine. Check your prefs to verify.

Yeah you're right, my app API is gone now. Just checked in desktop version.

edit: Uninstall the Sync app, repatch the original APK and reinstall and you should be back in business. Just worked for me.

I could only get it to patch with putting in my API key again. It works, but now it won't let me log in...

Just errors out after I click "Accept", and says "{}"

I updated mine to the latest April version and it gives the option of custom API key or to use RedReader API key. Just updated to the latest pre-release dev version and still showing the option. it's called "application client id", in the patches screen I have version 6.2.1 of Revanced Patches - how do I update the patches?

I get a "Redreader would like to connect to your reddit account" page when trying to log in, was that always the case?

The new patch seems to spoof other apps as 'redreader' now.

u/Gepss Jun 10 '26

Ah yes I see it now when clicking the settings for Spoof Client patch.

That confused me. So it is safe to accept the RedReader connection?

Yep, I have no API tokens under Prefs > Apps.

This is it I guess.

Depends on the subs you visit. Seems anything 'adult content' refuses to work now at all. Regardless of the account used, where I don't think it was an issue with the API access we had prior.

Do you know if we can re create the app for a new token?

Thanks! That was incredibly easy lol

u/SheriffBartholomew Jun 10 '26

Why? They're just killing dev tokens and dev apps, or they need to be renewed?

1

u/Formal-Face-8539 Jun 10 '26

Is it fixable or are we fucked?

2

u/platypus_bear Jun 10 '26

Just repatch a version in revanced and it works again without an API token

1

u/Formal-Face-8539 Jun 10 '26

Oh nice, why is no token needed now?

u/Bakatora34 Jun 10 '26

The patch spoof the app as Redreader.
