    Reddit kills RSS feeds and public API access to block AI bots●Reddit is killing RSS feeds and ending public API access because of AI bots | TechCrunchMmastodon2845 min ago

    Reddit is ending support for RSS feeds and tightening restrictions on public API access, continuing its effort to lock down the vast trove of user-generated content hosted on the platform. The company says the moves are aimed at stopping AI bots from scraping its data. The decision is drawing criticism from users and developers who rely on open access for third-party apps and tools, many of whom see it as part of a broader shift toward monetising Reddit's data for AI training.

    A developer is warning that OpenCode's model whitelist is effectively a list of promises made by other people's APIs, and that the list is slowly rotting as providers change or drop endpoints. A small tool called ocprobe has been introduced to check which models still actually work, highlighting how fragile dependency on third-party APIs can be for open-source coding tools.

    Developers are debating OpenRouter's pricing model, noting the service charges a 5.5% fee when users add credits rather than a per-token markup on API calls. A breakdown compares the total cost of routing AI requests through OpenRouter versus paying providers directly or self-hosting an open-source proxy like LiteLLM, offering a decision rule for choosing between the three approaches.

    Reddit to shut down RSS feeds and public API access●# Reddit will end # RSS feeds on 13 November and public # API access by March 2027 due to scraping and AI bots. ModeratoMmastodonTechnologyInternet24 h ago

    Reddit will discontinue its RSS feeds on 13 November and end public API access by March 2027, citing heavy scraping by AI bots. Moderators are being advised to use Discord Relay Devvit, but no replacement exists for external feeds. Old Reddit access will also be restricted to recent users, closing off further workarounds for third-party tools and readers.

    A developer has launched a Show HN project that places a fine-tuned Qwen model as a proxy layer between coding agents and their tools. The layer compresses tool-call output before it reaches the language model, cutting input tokens and lowering API spending. Hackaday flagged the project, and it is drawing attention from developers interested in cheaper LLM workflows.
