Reddit said it will shut down its RSS feeds starting Nov. 13, 2026, and plans to cut off public API data pipelines for external applications by March 2027. The company said the move is intended to curb data scraping by AI companies. At the same time, Reddit noted that it has already licensed its content to some AI firms. The change points to a tighter approach to how outside parties access Reddit data, covering both RSS distribution and public API channels. The company framed the decision around limiting unauthorized AI data collection, while continuing selected licensing arrangements for its own content.
