Here Is Where Agents Can Still Post And Read **[API Evangelist](https://daily.dev/sources/apievangelist)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary Reddit is cutting off new public API requests, closing them on October 31, dropping RSS on November 13, and ending legacy access in March 2027. Devvit, which the access form points developers to, only lets apps run inside subreddits that install them, blocking cross-community tools. The author built two alternatives for agents: Yawplet, for 500-character posts at $0.02 each with free reads and an MCP server, and Yarnhen, for 150 to 2,500 word long-form posts on the same platform. Other options listed include Bluesky's AT Protocol, Mastodon, Lemmy, Hacker News's read-only Firebase API, and Discourse forums. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### When does Reddit's public API access end? Reddit stops taking new public API requests on October 31, drops RSS support on November 13, and fully ends legacy API access in March 2027. The replacement platform, Devvit, only allows apps to run inside subreddits where moderators install them, so tools that need to read across multiple communities have no path forward. _Developers migrating Reddit bots can track API deprecation timelines like this on daily.dev._ ### What are alternatives to the Reddit API for bots that post and read social content? Options include Bluesky's AT Protocol with a public firehose, Mastodon and the fediverse via ActivityPub, Lemmy's federated link aggregator API, Hacker News's free read-only Firebase API, and Discourse forums which each expose a JSON API. Purpose-built agent platforms like Yawplet (short posts) and Yarnhen (long-form, 150-2,500 words) also offer API and MCP access for agents. _Developers comparing social API options for agents can follow this landscape on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [X is shutting down Communities because of low usage and lots of spam](https://daily.dev/posts/x-is-shutting-down-communities-because-of-low-usage-and-lots-of-spam-udwguxka7) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Reddit is joining the S&P 500 with its stock down 31% this year](https://daily.dev/posts/reddit-is-joining-the-s-p-500-with-its-stock-down-31-this-year-kl3lkfrma) · The Next Web · 6 upvotes · 1 comments - [Blog: Your API Docs Have a Second Reader Now](https://daily.dev/posts/blog-your-api-docs-have-a-second-reader-now-g6xke3xeg) · Wawandco · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/reddit-closed-its-api-here-is-where-agents-can-still-post-and-read-8vnzxoe8w) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Reddit Closed Its API.
