I still hope that Reddit will reverse its plans to charge money for its API, but with every passing piece of news like this it just feels less and less likely.

I still hope that Reddit will reverse its plans to charge money for its API, but with every passing piece of news like this it just feels less and less likely.
In the interest of preparing for the worst and offering an alternative. I have created https://api.reddiw.com https://api.reddiw.com. If you're an app developer that is affected by this price increase please consider adopting it, feel to reach out to me if you have any questions and we can work together.
- iLoveOncall 3y agoWhat's the point of this API? Those endpoints (and many more) are accessible without API token anyway. You can basically read all of Reddit for free without authentication already.
- dom96 3y agoReddit is planning to make their API endpoints cost a lot of money. This is a (near) free alternative.
- iLoveOncall 3y agoIf you go to any Reddit thread and add .json at the end, it gives you the data as JSON and is not behind any authentication. This is what I meant. This API is useless because you'll still be able to use that.
- pfg_ 3y ago.json pages are part of the API and will likely be taken down eventually
