Reddit Data API (official)

Reddit's own data API, where appending .json to a page URL returns its content without authentication and OAuth unlocks more. It serves live, current Reddit data — posts, comments, and profiles — but offers no deep historical search. Use it for present-day Reddit content and pair it with PullPush or Arctic Shift when you need the past.

API

Why it’s useful & how it works

Unauth .json blocked from our direct IP, works via proxy (Reddit throttles cloud IPs — rotate proxies). No historical search; pair with PullPush for the past. OAuth free tier non-commercial only.

What’s inside

Live Reddit; no deep historical search.
