GET
/v1/reddit/subreddit

Returns posts from a subreddit, each with title, body, score, comment count, author, permalink, and creation timestamp.

Use it to read a community's feed, noting timeframe works only with sort=top, which is auto-selected when you omit sort; subreddit/search filters that same community by keyword.

10 credits per call.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

Authorization

apiKey
x-api-key<token>

Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.

In: header

Query Parameters

subreddit*string

Subreddit name without the r/ prefix

timeframe?string

Timeframe to get posts from. Applied with sort=top (auto-selected when you omit sort).

Value in

  • "all"
  • "day"
  • "week"
  • "month"
  • "year"
sort?string

Sort order

Value in

  • "best"
  • "hot"
  • "new"
  • "top"
  • "rising"
trim?boolean

Set to true for a trimmed down version of the response. This also skips the enrichment pass, so author.avatar_url, content.media_urls, flags.spoiler, post.url and the ext.* fields are omitted along with the rest of the trimmed leaves.

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.

Value in

  • "1"
cursor?string

The pagination.next_cursor from the previous page, sent back unchanged. Omit it for the first page.

Subreddit › Search GET

Returns posts matching a query inside one subreddit, each with title, score, comment count, and permalink. This source sends no post body, so ext.selftext is null without include_body.

Subreddits › Search GET

Returns up to 25 communities matching a topic, each with the name at author.id, subscriber count, description and icon. include=details adds the creation date, weekly activity, rules and language.
