<![CDATA[MMM-Reddit 403 error]]>Hello - for some reason my mirror was throwing some errors, so I decided on a fresh install. All is working fine again, but the MMM-Reddit module is now throwing the following errror:

1|MagicMirror | [2025-10-08 21:10:31.589] [ERROR] Error fetching Reddit data: 403 Blocked

I did various troubleshooting steps, incl. using the original config with the default module config (see below).

Any idea what could cause this? My Mirror is up to date, and there are no other errors currently.

		 {
            module: "MMM-Reddit",
            position: "bottom_left",
            disabled: false,
            config: {
                subreddit: ['television', 'science', 'nottheonion'],
                headerType: 'chained',
                displayType: 'image',
                count: 14,
                show: 1,
                width: 400,
                showAll: true,
                showScore: false,
                showSubreddit: true,
                colorText: false,
                showThumbnail: false,
            }
        },

The config has a
count = total posts to get
show = number posts to show at the same time

So, if you have count set to 10 and you have show set to 4 and the total posts it received from the subreddit = 10 then it will show 4 then page the next 4 then the last 2 etc. All depends on how your config is set and how many posts it pulls from all the subreddits you specified.

It came back this morning, so it must have been a Reddit API glitch. I’m going to experiment a bit more over the weekend, as it’s not showing all my posts (config says 10, but it fluctuates between 1 and 4…).

Do you mind sharing your config?
This is my config:

{
            module: "MMM-Reddit",
            position: "bottom_left",
            disabled: false,
            config: {
                subreddit: ['television', 'science','nottheonion'], //'television', 'science',
                headerType: 'chained',
                displayType: 'image',
                count: 13,
                show: 1,
                width: 500,
                //showAll: false,
                showScore: false,
                showSubreddit: true,
                colorText: false,
                showThumbnail: true,
            }
        }

I will have a look this afternoon at the issue you logged. Just logging on to test first. It was working a few days ago.

So I would open an issue on the module GitHub page
I would also look thru other issues to see if other users encountered this
