  -H "x-api-key: $INSIGHTSOCIAL_API_KEY"
GET
/v1/reddit/profile

Returns one Reddit account: total karma, the post/comment/award karma split, cake day, bio, avatar, banner, trophy count and profile title.

Use it to size or vet an account before reading its posts. author.followers is null on purpose: Reddit publishes no public follower count, so karma is the reach signal.

10 credits per call.

Authorization
