Questions

Reddit Post API FAQ

The short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Still have a question? Talk to the people who build the endpoints.
How much does the Reddit Post API cost?

1 credit per successful call, shown before it runs. You buy credits once, and paid credits never expire.

What do I send?

Send url. The input fields below list every option with its type and limits.

Do I need a Reddit login?

No. It reads public Reddit data; nothing runs on your account.

Can my AI agent call it?

Yes, over MCP: the agent finds reddit.post.get, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.
