Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Reddit 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 profiles, subreddit information, trending content, wiki pages, and more. We support 25+ endpoints covering all major Reddit data types accessible through the public API.
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.
Is this legal and compliant with Reddit ToS?
Yes, our API only accesses publicly available data through Reddit official JSON endpoints. We follow Reddit rate limiting guidelines and best practices for responsible data access.
