Rdx is a free Reddit reader that emerged after the API controversy. It was always limited - couldn’t post, couldn’t login, but utilized a hidden feature of reddit - you could just add .JSON to the end of a subreddit url and get the content back in in a useful format for an app like RDX to ingest.

From the RDX developer:

Last night reddit disabled JSON feeds that is affecting your usage of rdx website and app. I am trying to find ways to fix this. Maybe I can fix the apps using some workaround, maybe I can’t but I will try. You can keep the apps or get the apps from app stores.

Thanks for your support for RDX for over 3 years. A small project that reached millions of people.

    it works in the browser but I keep getting 403’s when trying with cURL or Python requests or Powershell. My usual goto of spoofing my browser’s user agent in the header doesn’t work either.
