> **For coding agents and LLMs:** This is one page from the Social Fetch docs (markdown export). For curated orientation and workflow guidance, start with [`/llms.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.txt); for agent onboarding and crawl rules, use [`/agents.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/agents.txt); for the full endpoint list with links to pages like this one, use [`/llms-endpoints.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms-endpoints.txt); for one platform's parameters and curls, use [`/llms-{platform}.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms-tiktok.txt); use [`/llms.json`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.json) when you need structured JSON for tool registration. ## This page - **On-site (HTML):** [https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api/v1/reddit](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api/v1/reddit) - **Markdown (.mdx) URL:** [https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api/v1/reddit.mdx](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api/v1/reddit.mdx) ## API base URL and authentication - **API origin (from OpenAPI `servers`):** `https://api.socialfetch.dev` - **Authentication:** send `x-api-key: sfk_...` on `/v1/**` routes unless the operation is explicitly anonymous (check OpenAPI `security`, the [API reference hub](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api.mdx), [`/llms.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.txt), or [`/llms.json`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.json) for each route). - **OpenAPI JSON:** [https://www.socialfetch.dev/openapi.json](https://www.socialfetch.dev/openapi.json) ## Recommended docs entrypoints (this site) - [Documentation overview](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs.mdx) — top-level orientation (markdown). - [Quickstart](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/quickstart.mdx) — authenticate with `x-api-key`, validate auth with `whoami`, and understand the JSON envelope. - [SDK](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/sdk.mdx) — official TypeScript SDK guide, including `SocialFetchClient`, `Result`, and `unwrap()`. - [Capability matrix](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/capability-matrix.mdx) — every operation with identifiers, pagination, outcomes, media download, credits, and its SDK method. Generated from OpenAPI, so use it for route selection instead of scanning individual pages. - [Recipes](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/recipes.mdx) — copyable workflows (brand monitoring, transcripts, Ad Library, creator scoring, Reddit research) with credit callouts and SDK examples. - [Integrations](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/integrations.mdx) — MCP for AI clients, n8n verified node, Apify Store Actors, Make custom app, SDK, and REST API connection paths. - [MCP product page](https://www.socialfetch.dev/mcp) — hosted MCP overview, OAuth, Skills install. - [MCP integration](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/integrations/mcp.mdx) — hosted `/mcp` server, OAuth, Cursor/VS Code/Claude install snippets, 184 endpoint tools, plus docs_search/docs_read for implementation help. - [n8n integration](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/integrations/n8n.mdx) — install `n8n-nodes-socialfetch`, credentials, and workflow examples. - [Apify integration](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/integrations/apify.mdx) — Store Actors under @social-fetch, PPE billing, dataset export, and quick start. - [Make integration](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/integrations/make.mdx) — custom app modules for Make scenarios, API key credentials, and module catalog. - [`/llms-endpoints.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms-endpoints.txt) — every documented operation with a direct link to that route's agent-readable markdown page (prefer this over parsing OpenAPI). - [`/llms-{platform}.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms-tiktok.txt) — per-platform endpoint files generated from OpenAPI (parameters, credits, curls). - [`/agents.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/agents.txt) — agent crawl/onboarding file with capabilities, auth rules, and allowlist. - [`/llms.json`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.json) — structured machine-readable operation inventory with parameter names, pagination, outcomes, credits, and SDK mapping. - [API reference hub](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api.mdx) — human-friendly index of operations with links into generated pages. - [Errors](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/errors.mdx) — shared error envelope and HTTP status guidance. - [Credits](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/credits.mdx) — metering, `402`, and planning batch jobs. - Outcome semantics such as `found`, `not_found`, and `private` are documented in [Errors](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/errors.mdx) and on operation pages when present in the OpenAPI contract. ## Markdown docs convention - Every docs page has a markdown twin: append **`.mdx`** to the docs pathname (for example `/docs/quickstart` → `/docs/quickstart.mdx`). - Agents that send `Accept: text/markdown` on `/docs/**` HTML URLs may receive markdown directly (same URL, `Vary: Accept`). - Published blog posts use the same convention: `/blog/{slug}` → `/blog/{slug}.mdx`, or `Accept: text/markdown` on the HTML URL (`Vary: Accept`). --- # Reddit API reference (https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api/v1/reddit) Social Fetch's Reddit tag is seven `GET /v1/reddit/...` routes. Pass a subreddit name, post URL, or search query and get `{ data, meta }` with `data.lookupStatus`, `meta.requestId`, and `meta.creditsCharged`. Authenticate with `x-api-key` only — no Reddit developer app, no OAuth. These pages are generated from the public OpenAPI spec. Product overview, examples, and credit notes also live on the [Reddit platform hub](/platforms/reddit). Listening workflow: [Reddit research recipe](/docs/recipes/reddit-research). Keys and official vs public-data access: [How to get a Reddit API key](/guides/how-to-get-a-reddit-api-key). Every Reddit route is **1 credit** per completed lookup. Paginated search, feed, and comment calls bill **each page**. An empty completed search still bills; `lookup_failed` and `503` do not. Trust `meta.creditsCharged`. ## Search and subreddits - [Site-wide search](/docs/api/v1/reddit/search/get) — `GET /v1/reddit/search` — keyword posts across public Reddit. - [Subreddit metadata](/docs/api/v1/reddit/subreddits/get) — `GET /v1/reddit/subreddits` — community card by name or URL. - [Subreddit feed](/docs/api/v1/reddit/subreddits/subreddit/posts/get) — `GET /v1/reddit/subreddits/{subreddit}/posts` — ranked posts, cursor-paged. - [Search inside a subreddit](/docs/api/v1/reddit/subreddits/search/get) — `GET /v1/reddit/subreddits/search` — query one community. ## Posts - [Post](/docs/api/v1/reddit/posts/get) — `GET /v1/reddit/posts` — title, text, metrics, and flags for a post URL. - [Post comments](/docs/api/v1/reddit/posts/comments/get) — `GET /v1/reddit/posts/comments` — comment tree for a post URL. - [Post transcript](/docs/api/v1/reddit/posts/transcript/get) — `GET /v1/reddit/posts/transcript` — spoken text when Reddit exposes captions. ## Related * [Reddit platform hub](/platforms/reddit) — coverage, FAQs, and credit notes * [Reddit API pricing](/blog/reddit-api-pricing) — official vs public-data cost * [How to get a Reddit API key](/guides/how-to-get-a-reddit-api-key) * [API reference](/docs/api) — all platforms
