Reddit archive tools: live status.

Checked 12 November 2026 at 11:07 UTC. Responding: Arctic Shift API, Arctic Shift search page, Reveddit, Rosint, Ghostddit, ihsoyct. Not responding normally: PullPush API (not responding), PullPush search page (behind a challenge page).

Which Reddit archive tools are working right now?

Last check: 12 November 2026 at 11:07 UTC. "No change since" goes back no further than the start of monitoring, on 10 November 2026. "Checks answered" counts the hourly checks that got a normal answer, over the last 30 days at most.

Each line is one request sent from a server in the EU. A tool can answer us and still fail for you, and the reverse: rate limits and blocks are often applied per address.

What each result means

• Responding. The request returned what we expect: data from an API, or the tool's own page.
• Refusing automated queries. The service answers with HTTP 429. It is up, and it is rate limiting scripts.
• Behind a challenge page. A bot check stands in front of the site. We report that as it is and do not count it as an outage: the site may open normally in a browser.
• Not responding. An error from the server (HTTP 5xx) or no answer within 20 seconds, confirmed by a second request five seconds later.
• Loads, but its data source is not responding. The page is up and the archive it reads from is not, so searches will come back empty.
• Domain does not resolve. The name no longer exists in DNS. The tool is gone, not down.

Why these tools fail together

There are many names and very few archives. Most free tools are front ends: they send your search to someone else's archive and display the answer. When that archive is down, every front end over it is down too, whatever its own page says.

So "I checked three tools" often means "I asked the same archive three times". If a result matters, confirm it against a source that collected independently.

Tools that are gone

These names still get thousands of searches a month. Pushshift has been closed to the public since 2023, Unddit and Camas no longer resolve, and the Removeddit domain serves unrelated content. The story is in what happened to Unddit and Removeddit.

What to use when a tool is down

• Arctic Shift is down: Rosint, Ghostddit and ihsoyct will not help. Try PullPush if it answers, or THINKPOL archive search, which is free and runs on a separate archive.
• PullPush is down: use Arctic Shift for a user or a subreddit. For a keyword across all of Reddit, use THINKPOL archive search.
• Reveddit is down: nothing else reads moderator removals from Reddit's live API in the same way. An archive can still return the content if it was captured: deleted post search.
• You need one account's history: THINKPOL user lookup, free, no account.

How this page is made

An automated check sends one request per tool every hour from a server in the EU, with a user agent that identifies THINKPOL and links to this page. For the two archives it asks the public API for a single item; for the other tools it loads the home page or the search page. It records a state, the HTTP status code and the response time, and for Arctic Shift the age of the newest post returned. A failure is confirmed by a second request five seconds later before it is recorded. Nothing written by the checked sites is copied here. The page is rebuilt when a tool starts or stops answering, at most every three hours, and at least once a day; the check shown here ran on 12 November 2026 at 11:07 UTC. This measures reachability from one location, not completeness: a tool that responds can still be missing the post you are looking for. THINKPOL sells a commercial Reddit archive; we publish this page because the same question, is it down, reaches us every day. Corrections: contact us.

Status, answered.

Is Arctic Shift down right now?

On our last check (12 November 2026 at 11:07 UTC), the Arctic Shift API was responding (HTTP 200 in 1.8 s). The newest post it returned was 18 seconds old. On our last check (12 November 2026 at 11:07 UTC), the Arctic Shift search page was responding (HTTP 200 in 0.2 s). Arctic Shift gives no uptime guarantee; when it is down, Rosint, Ghostddit and ihsoyct are affected too.

Is PullPush down right now?

On our last check (12 November 2026 at 11:07 UTC), the PullPush API was not responding (HTTP 526). On our last check (12 November 2026 at 11:07 UTC), the PullPush search page was behind a challenge page that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403); it may still open in a browser. PullPush runs on community resources, and outages are frequent and unannounced.

Is Reveddit down right now?

On our last check (12 November 2026 at 11:07 UTC), Reveddit was responding (HTTP 200 in 0.1 s). Reveddit reads Reddit's live API and shows moderator-removed content only; it cannot recover content the author deleted.

Is Rosint or Ghostddit down?

On our last check (12 November 2026 at 11:07 UTC), Rosint was responding (HTTP 200 in 0.2 s). On our last check (12 November 2026 at 11:07 UTC), Ghostddit was responding (HTTP 200 in 0.2 s). Both are front ends: they can load and still return nothing when the archive behind them does not answer.

Why does a tool work for me when this page says it is blocked?

Because the check is automated and runs from a server. Some sites put a bot challenge in front of automated requests while letting browsers through. We report that as a challenge page and do not count it as an outage.

How often is this page updated?

The check runs every hour. The page is rebuilt when a tool starts or stops answering, at most every three hours, and at least once a day. The time of the check shown is at the top of the page.
