About Reddit
Reddit's Data API provides programmatic access to Reddit's public content including posts, comments, subreddits, search, and user activity. Following Reddit's 2023 pricing overhaul, commercial API access is now tiered and expensive. The free tier (100 QPM, 10K calls/month) is limited to non-commercial use. Commercial access starts at $12,000/month for up to 50 million API calls. Enterprise access is negotiated. Used by researchers, social listening tools, sentiment analysis services, and marketing analytics platforms.
