API Anything

Reddit APIunofficial

Notes

No account is needed. Reddit answers plain HTTP from many networks with a JS challenge, so a caller's first call often goes through the browser tier (about 12 s with Chrome starting, then 1 to 2 s a call). Later calls start there.

  • search returns the first page of post results, about 7, ranked by Reddit. votes and comments are strings of digits. No comments, communities or people results.
  • hot returns the posts the subreddit page renders first, usually 3 to 10, with no paging. url is the linked page on a link post and the post itself on a text post; permalink is relative to reddit.com.
  • A subreddit that is private, banned or misspelled answers input (no posts on the page).

About these operations

Each operation is a request learned from Reddit's own web pages: API Anything replays it over plain HTTP and falls back to a browser when it must. Read them as JSON.
