Has the API finally been shut down?

I've been using Boost(s) since the APIcalypse since I mod a dead subreddit. A few hours ago the app stopped showing content and started showing errors. Is it just a me thing or is this more general?

Yep. I kept baconreader installed with an API patch so when I click on a reddit link I didn't have to interact with their horrible interface, earlier this week I clicked one and the app still worked, now it doesn't. When I was switching being able to continue using my app was a godsend, now I won't even bother with changing my User-Agent lmao.

I tried using the official app, even after using revanced to patch out the ads it's just so bad

RedReader still appears functional

I'm using the two Boosts as well (for Lemmy & for Reddit ReVanced patch). I have the same problem, but it looks like it's something that affects more stuff than just Boost.

The official status website doesn't currently say anything.

Yeah, having trouble with Sync today too. Although it's bound to be a high traffic day today anyway with the news.

Update (if you are using the ReVanced patch): PR is ready, ReVanced just has to approve it and release a new patches version.

Edit: The patch has been released

Edit 2: It's working

Joey is down. I guess I'm back to old.reddit until they kill that too.

Same here, I hope it's temporary.

The patch is out. Really easy to install. Everything is working fine.

The reddit API was never gone, it's limited to X requests per hour per developer.

Welp, there's nothing to lose I think. I'm gonna give it a shot and see if it works

I was wondering the same. Thought maybe it was just me
