With Upscrape, get the Reddit posts for sort "new" and subreddits "webdev,startups". Tell me what it costs before you run it, then show the results as a table.

Questions

Reddit Posts 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 Posts 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 subreddits. 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.posts.list, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.
