View submission: An Update Regarding Reddit’s API
Reddit will limit access to mature content via our Data API as part of an ongoing effort to provide guardrails to how sexually explicit content and communities on Reddit are discovered and viewed. (Note: This change should not impact any current moderator bots or extensions.)
How will this be implemented? Will it affect third-party clients?

Will it affect third-party clients
They mention "reaching out to affected developers now[1]", so that's a big yes.

It's like they took the mistakes from Twitter (killing 3rd party clients) and Tumblr (banning NSFW content), and copied and pasted them into the above post.

They're being very explicit that this won't affect mod bots and extensions, specifically.
So... yes.

No more NSFW content on third-party clients
