GET
/v1/reddit/profile/comments

Returns an account's own comment history, newest first, each with the text, score, permalink, parent_id, the post it sits under and ext.subreddit.

Use it when you need a real comment history rather than a sample.

Metered: 20–2000 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

Authorization

apiKey
x-api-key<token>

Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.

Query Parameters

handle*string

Reddit username without the u/ prefix. Case-insensitive.

limit?integer

How many comments to return, 1-100, default 25. This is a depth control, not a page size: a higher limit reaches further back into the account's history at the same speed.

Range1 <= value <= 100
before?string

Only return comments older than this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Use it to walk a long history in windows instead of raising limit.

since?string

Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following next_cursor, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept.

until?string

Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept.

dry_run?"1"

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.
