Common questions about the Reddit Scraper API
How does the Reddit API work?
Our Reddit API accesses Reddit public JSON endpoints through browser automation. We handle captcha solving, rate limiting, and data extraction automatically, returning clean structured data to your application.
What data can I extract from Reddit?
You can extract posts, comments, user activity, subreddit information, trending content, wiki pages, and more through a smaller set of broad endpoints with request options for sort, timeframe, and pagination.
Are there rate limits?
Our API handles Reddit rate limiting automatically. Your request limits depend on your subscription plan. Each API call deducts credits based on the data volume returned.
Can I search within specific subreddits?
Yes! Use the subreddit search endpoint to search for posts within a specific community. You can filter by relevance, time period, and sort order.
How do I handle pagination?
Most endpoints return an "after" cursor in the response. Pass this cursor to the next request to fetch the next page of results. This allows you to iterate through large result sets efficiently.
