Reddit JSON Fetch

When to Use

• User shares a reddit.com link
• User asks to read/fetch a Reddit post or comments
• Any task requiring Reddit content

Why This Exists

• WebFetch returns "Claude Code is unable to fetch from www.reddit.com"
• old.reddit.com JSON endpoint is blocked (returns "whoa there, pardner!")
• www.reddit.com with .json suffix still works with a proper User-Agent

How to Fetch

Append .json to the Reddit URL and use curl with a browser User-Agent:
