Post › Transcript

GET
/v1/reddit/post/transcript

Returns the transcript of a Reddit video post, both the raw caption file and a plain-text version, when Reddit publishes captions for it.

Use it for video posts; when Reddit exposes no captions the transcript comes back empty and flagged rather than as an error.

200 credits per call.

Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free.

Post › Comments GET

Returns the full comment tree for a post, each comment with author, body, score, direct-reply count, nesting depth, timestamp, and its nested replies. Use it when you want the whole discussion rather than only top-level comments. Read data.truncated: true means the thread is incomplete, so keep paging while a cursor comes back. **Metered: 100–180 credits.** We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes. Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).

Post GET

Returns one post from its URL including the body text, plus score, comment count, share count, author, author avatar, thumbnail, and creation timestamp. Use it when you have a post URL and want that one post's body. Search rows carry their own bodies now, so you rarely need to fan out per post. post/comments returns the discussion. **20 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free.
