Reddit Ends RSS on Nov 13: What Changes for Monitoring

Reddit stops all RSS feeds on November 13, 2026. Before the cutoff, we pulled RSS and a data API at the same moment. The posts matched. Fields, rate limits and comment threads did not.

Illustration: on the left, an old broadcast tower is switched off with a large lever. On the right, a new pipeline delivers neat structured data cards into a tray. A torn calendar page lies between them.

Reddit will stop all RSS feeds on November 13, 2026. The source is a r/modnews post by Reddit admins on September 30. It says that for feeds outside a community you moderate, "there is no replacement."

Before the cutoff, we ran a side-by-side test on October 25, 2026, from 06:36 to 07:09 UTC (14:36 to 15:09 Singapore time). We pulled Reddit RSS and the EveryInfra Reddit data API at the same moment, 16 times. The posts matched one for one: 275 post entries (202 unique posts) and 125 search results, in the same order. The newest post differed by 1.6 seconds at most.

The real differences were in three places. RSS has no score and no comment count. Anonymous RSS allows one request per clock minute per IP. On both sides, comments arrive as a flat list, so you cannot see who replied to whom.

In this article, a "Reddit RSS feed" is the Atom 1.0 document that Reddit returns when you add .rss to a subreddit, search, post or user URL. The format is RFC 4287. A feed needs no login and no key. One URL is one subscription. After November 13, this keyless way to read Reddit is gone.

Isometric illustration of a feed box, a key post and a drawer cabinet. A teal cover slides over the slot of the feed box: the November 13 shutdown. Paper strips with two lines each show that RSS gives only title, author and time. The post with a keyhole means only authenticated access gets through. The open drawer has eight compartments, and four hold blocks: the score, comment count and other data API fields.

Who should read this

This article is for four groups:

  • Newsrooms and social listening teams that follow subreddits and keywords in Feedly, Inoreader, NewsBlur or a Slack bot.
  • Community managers and moderators who send new posts or mod alerts to a chat channel.
  • Researchers who collect Reddit posts and comments for studies.
  • Developers who build tools on top of Reddit feeds or the public Data API.

Each group has a different path after November 13. We cover them in the section "Four groups, four paths."

What Reddit said, in its own words

The RSS shutdown is one step in a longer series. Since May 2026, Reddit has closed keyless machine access in stages:

  • May 28: In an r/modnews post, Reddit said it would shut down unauthenticated .json endpoints. The same post named RSS as "another common surface for scraping" and asked moderators how they use it.
  • August 5: The CEO posted a plan to rethink Old Reddit, AutoModerator and the public API. The r/redditdev post from the same day said the public Data API "wasn't built for today's scale" and that third-party apps must move to the Developer Platform, Devvit. It also said Python support is not on the roadmap.
  • September 30: Two posts went out together. r/modnews set the RSS end date. r/redditdev set four API dates. After October 31, Reddit takes no new public API requests. Migration bounty sign-up closes on November 30. On January 12, 2027, access for unregistered apps starts to close, and all public access ends in March 2027. The post says more than 14,000 apps and bots have registered.

The Reddit Help article for moderators repeats the date: "Reddit will stop supporting RSS feeds on November 13, 2026." It also gives a 15-to-20-minute setup for a replacement, which we describe below.

Dot timeline of ten events from May 2026 to March 2027. Before our test: May 28, .json closes; Aug 5, Devvit plan; Aug 31, EU designation. Also before: week of Sep 28, new comment IDs; Sep 30, RSS end date announced. After our test on Oct 25: Oct 31, no new API requests; Nov 13 in teal, RSS stops. Later: Nov 30, bounty deadline; Jan 12, 2027, unregistered access closes; March 2027, the public API closes.

TechCrunch reported the news on September 30 and linked it to Reddit's data licensing business. TechCrunch cites Reddit's Q2 2026 results: "other revenue" outside advertising grew 24% year over year to $43 million. (This figure is as reported by TechCrunch; the source is the results release.)

The pass/fail rules we wrote before the test

We wrote six rules before we pulled any data. The question: if you move from RSS to a data API, what do you lose and what do you gain?

  1. Post coverage: the data API must return at least 90% of the RSS post IDs for the same "new" list.
  2. Fields: every monitoring field in RSS (ID, title, author, link, posted time, body) must have a match in the data API.
  3. Freshness: the newest post on each side must differ by 5 minutes or less.
  4. Comment threads: compare the post's comment count, the RSS comment count and the data API comment count. Check whether you can rebuild who replied to whom.
  5. Keywords: record the overlap for the same search term. No pass line.
  6. RSS limits: record the x-ratelimit-* headers on anonymous requests.

Results: rules 1 and 3 pass (100% overlap, 1.6 seconds at most). Rule 2 passes, and the data API adds score, comment count and outbound domain, but it has no thumbnails. Rule 4 fails on both sides. Rule 5 reaches 100% overlap once you add type=link. Rule 6 shows one request per minute. The data follows.

Test 1: same posts, different fields

On October 25, we ran 11 paired pulls across 9 subreddits. For each pair, we first fetched https://www.reddit.com/r/<subreddit>/new/.rss?limit=25. One to two seconds later, we called the Reddit Subreddit Posts API (reddit/subreddit_posts, sort=newest, limit=25). The subreddits were r/technology, r/news, r/AskReddit, r/selfhosted, r/datasets, r/rss, r/dji and r/mexico.

  • Posts: all 275 entries matched, in the same order. They are 202 unique posts, because we pulled r/technology and r/selfhosted twice, 8 minutes apart.
  • Freshness: the 25 newest r/AskReddit posts covered only about 15 minutes (15.6 and 15.3 minutes in two runs). At fetch time, the newest post was 40 and 51 seconds old. Both sides agreed within about one second. The largest gap in all 11 pairs was 1.6 seconds.
  • Fields the data API adds: like_count (score) was non-zero on 179 of 275 entries. comment_count was non-zero on 222 of 275. RSS has neither field. In RSS, <updated> equaled <published> on all 275 entries, so RSS gives no signal that a post was edited.
  • Fields the data API lacks: 82 RSS entries had a thumbnail (media:thumbnail). The data API returned no thumbnail_url values in this test. Neither side returned flair text.
Field grid with 12 rows and two columns, RSS feed and Data API, from 275 post entries. Post ID, title, author, posted time and body text: yes on both sides. Score and comment count: no in RSS, yes in the data API, in teal. Thumbnail: yes in RSS, no in the data API; outbound link and comment time: partial in RSS; comment score: partial in the data API. Comment parent: no on both sides.

For a monitoring team, score and comment count drive ranking and alerts. A new post that goes from 0 to 40 comments in three minutes is a different event from a post that stays at 0. RSS tells you that a post exists. To know if it matters, you must open the post page.

There is one more detail. In RSS, the body of a link post is one line: submitted by /u/... [link] [comments]. The outbound URL hides inside that HTML. The data API splits it into domain and external_link.

In r/technology, 24 of 25 posts were link posts. With the domain field, one line of code counts which outlets get shared most. For a newsroom that tracks where its own stories travel, this is the field that matters.

Time precision differs too. RSS gives seconds (06:07:05). The data API's posted_at gives milliseconds (06:07:05.080). This does not change deduplication by first-seen time, but normalize the format before you mix the two sources.

Test 2: keyword feeds need type=link

Keyword feeds are the most common setup for media monitoring. Here we found a trap. Without type=link, https://www.reddit.com/search.rss?q=rss&sort=new returns a mix of communities (ID prefix t5_) and posts (t3_). The first result was a community called "RSS - Really Simple Syndication." With type=link, five searches (rss, "rss feed", DJI, "mercado libre" and feedly) returned 125 results. All 125 matched the Reddit Keyword Search API (reddit/search, sort=newest).

Matching results are not the same as relevant results. We counted how many results contain the keyword in the title, body, link or community name:

  • rss: 25 of 25.
  • "rss feed": 19 of 25.
  • DJI: 22 of 25.
  • "mercado libre": 24 of 25.
  • feedly: 0 of 25. The RSS search returned the same 25 posts.

If your team tracks a product name, check the first 25 results by hand before you trust the alert. A brand term like DJI works well. A term like feedly gave pure noise on the day we tested. Multi-word searches without quotes match single words on Reddit; we measured this in our article on social media research samples. Per the catalog, reddit/search searches posts, not comment text, and covers the most recent month.

Test 3: how many comments, and can you see the thread?

Comments are the weakest part of RSS. A data API does not fix all of it. We picked three posts:

  • The September 30 r/modnews announcement: the post page showed 810 comments. The RSS comment feed returned 100 with limit=100 and 387 with limit=500 (47.8%). The Reddit Comments API (reddit/comments) returns at most 100 per call. It returned 100 (12.3%).
  • An r/technology post from October 25 (46 comments in the list): RSS returned 41 and the data API returned 41, with the same IDs (89.1%).
  • An r/selfhosted post from October 25 (30 comments): RSS returned 29 and the data API returned 30 (100%).
Horizontal bar chart: share of a post's comments from one request. r/modnews announcement, 810 total: RSS with limit=500 returned 387 (47.8%), the data API returned 100 (12.3%). r/technology post, 46 total: both returned 41 (89.1%). r/selfhosted post, 30 total: RSS returned 29 (96.7%), the data API returned 30 (100%). No comment on the three posts carried a parent field.

On a large thread, one RSS request returns more comments than one data API call. We say this plainly. But both sides share one gap: they return a flat list with no parent field.

We copied the comment tree from the r/selfhosted post page, node by node, and compared it. The page showed 25 visible comments: 17 top-level comments and 8 replies (32%). One reply was two levels deep. In the flat lists, those 8 replies look the same as top-level comments. A reply from the original poster looks like a new, separate comment.

Our article on Reddit comment completeness explains why a comment tree is not a "next page" problem. The PRAW comment tutorial also treats unexpanded parts as separate MoreComments objects.

Two more facts for developers:

  • Comment IDs got longer. Reddit announced on r/redditdev on September 15 that new comment IDs change from the week of September 28. They can have up to 13 characters and no longer increase in order. Our sample agrees. All 100 comment IDs on the September 30 thread have 7 characters (for example pd1ti02). All 71 comment IDs on the two October 25 threads have 13 characters (for example 19rm1o3qn6ypw). If your code sorts or pages by "higher ID means newer," change it to use time.
  • RSS comments have no posted time. Comment entries carry only <updated>, with no <published>. The data API returns posted_at.

Test 4: RSS allows one request per minute

Many people think RSS has no limit. On October 25, we sent 37 RSS requests from one IP, and 31 returned HTTP 200. Every 200 response carried x-ratelimit-used: 1 and x-ratelimit-remaining: 0.0. The x-ratelimit-reset value, added to the second of the request, always landed on second 58 or 59.

In other words, anonymous RSS allows one request per IP per clock minute. A second request in the same minute gets HTTP 429. This happened to us twice.

The other 4 requests were probes of https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/new.json. All 4 returned 403 with the text "You've been blocked by network security." This matches the May 28 notice that closed unauthenticated .json.

The header names match the Reddit Data API Wiki. The wiki sets 100 queries per minute per OAuth client ID, averaged over 10 minutes. It also says: "Traffic not using OAuth or login credentials will be blocked." In 2023, the r/redditdev update still gave 10 queries per minute to clients without OAuth.

Horizontal bar chart of requests per minute, with subreddits you can refresh every 15 minutes in brackets. Unauthenticated .json, measured: 403, so 0. Anonymous RSS, measured, per IP: 1 (15 subreddits), in teal. The 2023 rule without OAuth: 10 (150 subreddits), now blocked. Free tier with OAuth, per client ID: 100 (1,500 subreddits); it needs a registered app and ends with the public API in March 2027.

What this means for monitoring: one feed per minute is 1,440 fetches per day at most. If you refresh every 15 minutes, one IP can follow 15 subreddits. Twenty is too many. This is one reason why feed readers stopped polling Reddit RSS directly long ago. A Feedly staff member wrote on r/feedly that Feedly reads Reddit through a registered, commercial API.

Four groups, four paths

Reddit's September 30 post splits people into two groups: moderators, who get a replacement, and everyone else, who does not. In practice, there are four groups.

Animated loop of six cards that light up in turn, nine seconds per cycle. Steps 1 to 3: list targets, set the refresh rate, pull new posts. Steps 4 to 6: dedupe by post ID, pull comments (100 per call at most), alert or store. The center reads: 20 subreddits every 15 minutes, about $32.03 per month. At the bottom, own subreddits use Discord Relay, and researchers use Reddit for Researchers or DSA Article 40.

Moderators: set up Discord Relay, test it, then retire RSS

The Reddit Help steps are short. Install the Discord Relay Devvit app. Create a private Discord or Slack channel for your mod team. Copy its webhook URL and turn on Modqueue alerts. The help page says: "The app checks the mod queue once a minute." The app page adds three limits. You can set up to six webhook destinations. "Front Page" mode scans up to 100 top posts once a minute and does not relay comments. Any non-zero alert delay must be at least three minutes. It works only in communities where you have full mod permissions.

Developers and bot authors: register, migrate, watch the bounty deadline

The r/redditdev date table gives three dates for developers. After October 31, there are no new public API requests. Sign up for the migration bounty by November 30. Unregistered apps start to lose access on January 12, 2027.

The bounty terms target community tools that serve at least 1,000 weekly active users. Selected apps get $1,000 each and must finish the move by December 31, 2026. The migration guide maps PRAW patterns to Devvit Web. It also explains how to request exemptions, such as broader HTTP fetch access and external endpoints. If your bot depends on PRAW, plan time for a rewrite. The August post said Python support is not on the roadmap.

Researchers: Reddit accepts one route; the EU adds another

Reddit's Developer Platform and data access page is direct: for research with Reddit data, "The only official and authorized avenue" is Reddit for Researchers (RFR). RFR requires an accredited university affiliation, an ethics approval letter and an institutional sponsor. Access runs through BigQuery Analytics Hub, lasts one year at most and is free for non-commercial projects. The Responsible Builder Policy says research with Reddit data collected outside RFR violates the policy.

In the EU, the European Commission designated Reddit a very large online platform on August 31. Reddit has four months, that is, until January 2027, to meet the extra obligations. The EU's algorithmic transparency center explains the rule in its DSA data access FAQ. Under Article 40(12), qualified researchers can get data that is publicly visible on the platform. The research must be about systemic risks in the EU. For how to choose and document a route, see our research sample article.

Research methods are changing too. The UK Social Platforms Data Access Taskforce published its final report on September 9. It calls for a move from platform-controlled arrangements to access grounded in public law. A September 15 preprint on the CANDOR system proposes data donation by participants because platform API access is declining. A September 21 review of 476 computational communication papers found wide use of APIs for data collection and warned that this can hurt reproducibility.

Newsrooms, social listening and developer tools: Reddit offers no replacement

If you follow other people's communities, industry keywords or talk about competitors, Reddit's post is clear: there is no replacement. Two options remain:

  1. A commercial license from Reddit. The Developer Platform page lists "Services, research, or data access for fees" as commercial use. Such use needs permission and a contract.
  2. A third-party data API. An example is the Reddit Scraper API that we used in this test. It bills per call and returns the same JSON fields every time. You can connect it to a script or an AI client.

After November 13, check the available value in the capability catalog on the day you build. Every number in this article describes October 25.

What it costs a monitoring team per month

Prices come from the capability catalog, read on October 25 at 06:34 UTC (check the pricing page for current prices). All five Reddit capabilities cost $0.000556 per call. Subreddit posts and comments return up to 100 items per call; keyword search and user posts return up to 50. Take a newsroom that wants:

  • 20 subreddits, refreshed every 15 minutes: 20 × 96 per day × 30 days = 57,600 calls × $0.000556 = $32.03;
  • 10 keywords, searched every hour: 10 × 24 × 30 = 7,200 calls × $0.000556 = $4.00;
  • comments for 30 matched posts per day: 30 × 30 = 900 calls × $0.000556 = $0.50.

The total is $36.53 per month. Failed calls and empty results are not billed. With hourly refreshes, 20 subreddits cost $8.01 per month. With anonymous RSS, one IP can fetch only 15 feeds in 15 minutes, so 20 subreddits need more than one IP.

Bar chart of monthly cost with a 15-minute refresh; 5 subreddits cost $8.01, 10 cost $16.01 and 15 cost $24.02. 20 subreddits cost $32.03, in teal, the example in the text. 50 cost $80.06 and 100 cost $160.13. A dashed line at 15 marks the anonymous RSS ceiling per IP. Based on $0.000556 per call, 96 calls per day and 30 days.

Do not use one refresh rate for every subreddit. We measured how long the 25 newest posts last. On r/AskReddit, it was about 15 minutes, and on r/technology, 11.2 hours. On r/news, it was 51.7 hours; on r/datasets, 7 days; and on r/rss, 8.4 days. A daily check is enough for r/rss. Give the saved calls to fast subreddits, or raise limit to 100.

All live tests in this article used 22 billed calls for a total of $0.012232. Two more requests, one with a wrong parameter and one with no key, were not billed.

Connect from code or an AI client

One curl call returns the newest posts in a subreddit (the key is a placeholder):

bash
curl -s https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <API Key>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"platform":"reddit","action":"subreddit_posts","params":{"subreddit":"news","sort":"newest","limit":25}}'

Response fields (these match response_fields in the catalog):

  • id: post ID without the t3_ prefix. reddit/search returns IDs with the prefix, so normalize before you dedupe.
  • url, title, text: post URL, title and body. A link post's body is the "submitted by" line.
  • author_username: the author's username. Store it under your own privacy rules.
  • community: subreddit name. subreddit_posts returns it without r/; search returns it with r/. Normalize this too.
  • like_count, comment_count: score and comment count, the two fields RSS lacks.
  • posted_at: posted time, ISO 8601, UTC.
  • flair, domain, external_link: flair text, outbound domain, outbound URL.
  • thumbnail_url, image_urls: thumbnail and images. Our test returned no values.
  • platform: always reddit.

reddit/comments returns id, text, author_username, like_count, community, url, posted_at and platform. In our test, all 100 comments on the September 30 thread had like_count 0, which does not match the page. On the two October 25 threads, 68 of 71 were non-zero. Spot-check scores before you alert on them.

In Claude Code, create a key with the quickstart. Then add the remote MCP server, as described in the Claude Code MCP docs:

bash
claude mcp add --transport http everyinfra https://api.everyinfra.com/mcp \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer ${EVERYINFRA_API_KEY}'

Then ask: "Use everyinfra_call_api to get the 25 newest posts in r/news. Group them by outbound domain and list the domains with more than two posts."

Errors and billing (all seen in this test):

  • A wrong enum value, such as sort set to new, returns 422 invalid_value with an allowed list and did_you_mean: ["newest"]. No charge.
  • No key returns 401 missing_key. No charge.
  • If the subreddit name itself starts with "r" (such as r/rss), the catalog says to send the full URL, https://www.reddit.com/r/rss/. When we sent only rss, we got one status placeholder and a $0.000556 charge. With the full URL, we got 25 posts.
  • A call over 85 seconds: send "mode":"async" to get a job_id, then poll /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}. Failed and empty results are refunded. See failure refunds and reconciliation.

2023 was about price; 2026 is about the gate

In 2023, the change was price. Reddit announced new developer terms on its company blog on April 18. On May 31, r/redditdev set free-tier limits from July 1: 100 queries per minute with OAuth, 10 without.

In June, the CEO wrote on r/reddit that high-usage apps would pay $0.24 per 1,000 calls. He also wrote that Apollo, Reddit is Fun and Sync would close. The Apollo developer did the math in public on May 31. Apollo made 7 billion requests in one month, or about $1.7 million per month at that price.

In 2026, the change is the gate. Unauthenticated .json already returns 403. RSS stops on November 13, and the public API closes in March 2027. What remains is Devvit (apps that run inside Reddit's hosted platform), RFR (academics only) and commercial contracts.

In 2023, money could still buy access. After 2026, Reddit offers no sanctioned path outside these doors.

For RSS users, the 2023 change did not matter, because RSS did not go through the API. This one does.

Recent changes to watch (August to October 2026)

  • August 31: the EU designates Reddit a very large online platform (European Commission). For researchers: by January 2027, the DSA Article 40(12) duty to give access to public data applies to Reddit. This gives EU systemic-risk research a legal route.
  • Week of September 28: new comment IDs of up to 13 characters, no longer increasing (r/redditdev). For developers: fix code that checks ID length or compares IDs to find newer comments. All 71 new comments in our October 25 sample had 13-character IDs.
  • September 30: Reddit sets the RSS end date and the API shutdown schedule (r/modnews, r/redditdev). For everyone: export your subscription list before November 13 and find your group in this article.
  • Mid-October: the NewsBlur founder says Reddit rejects NewsBlur's API requests with 403 (NewsBlur forum). He also says NewsBlur's Reddit subscriptions that end in .rss already use the authenticated API. For feed reader users: a working URL today does not mean updates after November 13. On r/feedly, a Feedly staff member first said Reddit feeds would keep working, then wrote that "our initial thoughts may have been wrong."
  • October 9: Reddit moves to block its former law firm from a scraping case (court filing; Reuters, October 12; S.D.N.Y. 1:25-cv-08736). For data users: Reddit enforces its access rules in court, so the risk in the terms is real.

Limits of this test

  • We ran every comparison on one afternoon from one IP. "One request per minute" is what this IP saw. Other IPs or logged-in sessions can differ.
  • "100% match" means the newest sort matched at the same moment. It does not cover top or relevance, and it does not cover the period after November 13.
  • We compared comment threads on one post (25 visible comments). We copied the page tree by hand. We did not check the 810-comment thread comment by comment.
  • Keyword relevance is a string match, not a human judgment of meaning.
  • We quote Reddit's terms only. This is not legal advice.

FAQ

What is the Reddit RSS feed URL, and will it still work? Add .rss to a Reddit URL, for example https://www.reddit.com/r/news/new/.rss. For keyword feeds, use https://www.reddit.com/search.rss?q=<term>&sort=new&type=link. Without type=link, you also get communities. On October 25, these URLs still returned HTTP 200. They stop on November 13, 2026. (Question from the search suggestion "reddit rss feed url".)

Does Reddit RSS have a rate limit? Yes. We measured one request per IP per clock minute. The headers were x-ratelimit-used: 1 and x-ratelimit-remaining: 0.0, and the reset landed on second 58 or 59. A second request in the same minute returns 429. (Question from the search suggestion "reddit rss rate limit".)

What is the alternative to Reddit RSS after November 13? It depends on who you are: moderators can use Discord Relay. Developers should register before January 12, 2027 and move to Devvit. Academic researchers use Reddit for Researchers, and EU research can use DSA Article 40. For communities you do not moderate, Reddit says there is no replacement. Your options are a commercial license or a third-party data API, after you check the terms yourself. (Question from the search suggestion "rss alternative reddit".)

Method

  • For each pair, we fetched RSS first and called the data API one to two seconds later. RSS requests used a desktop browser User-Agent and no login. Data API calls used a test key passed through an environment variable.
  • We checked each Reddit post date against the <published> value in that post's own RSS. The May 28 notice is at 17:14 UTC. The two August 5 posts are at 16:03 and 16:05 UTC. The September 15 comment ID notice is at 19:40 UTC. The two September 30 posts are at 17:37 and 17:41 UTC.
  • We keep the raw responses, the scripts and analysis.json. A script computes every number in the charts from the raw responses.
