Reddit private API login URL changed? Getting 403 Forbidden now

[Jouko]

I used to automate Reddit using its private API. My process was:

1. Send a login request to https://accounts.reddit.com/api/login
2. Request a token from https://accounts.reddit.com/api/access_token

This worked fine until recently. Now, when I try to post to the login URL, I’m getting a 403 Forbidden error.

It looks like Reddit has changed the login endpoint or added extra checks, but I haven’t been able to find updated info.

Has anyone figured out the new login URL or method?

They’re tightening private API access hard lately, probably tied to bot crackdown.

They are increasing protections constantly, for example they banned me before I even managed to make account, just straight up server error…

Just IP ban? Maybe really just an error on thier server this time (hard to believe).

It can be ip address, headers you send, your software or even tls fingerprints.
