Can you share souce on RD shutting down? Cant seem to find anything beyond the hubub a couple of months ago but workarounds have since been available and haven't heard anything from official RD sources since.
It's just what they officially announced. The workarounds to work fine for now, but who knows how long?
The workarounds are just for detecting what is cached or not, but if the API shuts down, then you will not be able to interact with RD using apps, similar to how the Reddit API closure did the same thing.
