Reddit API pricing and shutdown dates: what changes in 2026-2027
The dated Reddit data-access timeline, what happens to RSS and the public Data API, and the routes that remain for public community data.
Short answer
Public Reddit Data API access for collecting new posts from a subreddit ends in March 2027. Commercial use requires a data agreement, and Reddit has no public self-serve rate card.
Rates and dates checked 2026-11-12 against the sources below. How the comparison works.Facts that decide the bill
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| RSS support ends | November 13, 2026 |
| New public API requests | Stopped October 31, 2026 |
| Unregistered app access removal | Begins January 12, 2027 |
| Remaining public API access | Ends March 2027 |
| Registration | Apps must register with the Reddit Developer Platform before January 12, 2027 |
| Commercial data | Commercial use requires a data agreement; no public self-serve rate card |
What this means in practice
Replace RSS before planning around it
RSS support ends November 13, 2026. A subreddit monitoring job that reads feeds needs another collection route to continue after that date.
Moving that job to the public Data API introduces another deadline because public API access also ends. Evaluate the intended replacement against the full access timeline.
Register apps and resolve commercial access separately
Apps must register with the Reddit Developer Platform before January 12, 2027. Registration addresses the app requirement; the public API shutdown still determines how long that access route remains available.
For commercial collection, pursue a data agreement with Reddit. With no public self-serve rate card, confirm pricing and permitted use through that agreement before budgeting an ongoing collection service.

Questions people ask
What does commercial Reddit API access cost?
Reddit has no public self-serve rate card for commercial data use. Request a data agreement to establish the price and terms for the intended use.
Can RSS keep a subreddit monitor running after the API shutdown?
RSS support ends before the remaining public API access ends. Replace the feed dependency when planning continued monitoring.
Does app registration keep public API access available indefinitely?
Apps must register with the Reddit Developer Platform before the registration deadline. Remaining public API access ends in March 2027, so include that endpoint in the migration plan.
Are new public API requests still being accepted?
Reddit has stopped accepting new public API requests. Consult the official Developer Platform migration guidance when planning a new app.
