Reddit

Reddit is a social news aggregation, discussion, and community platform where users submit, vote, and comment on content organized into topic-based communities called subreddits. Reddit provides developer APIs for accessing platform data, managing communities, running advertising campaigns, and embedding content. The Reddit Data API provides access to posts, comments, subreddits, user profiles, and moderation tools via OAuth 2.0. The Reddit Ads API enables programmatic management of advertising campaigns, audiences, and conversion tracking. All API access requires OAuth 2.0 authentication via the oauth.reddit.com server at 60 requests per minute.

Reddit publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Account API, Flair API, Links & Comments API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Advertising, Communities, Content, Social-Media, and Social News.

The Reddit catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Reddit’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 22 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/reddit: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Submit an artifact on GitHub — free → Manage your own listing — the Influence plan, $499/mo →
