About Reddit
Reddit provides a REST API covering account management, links and comments, private messages, moderation, subreddits, users, live threads, modmail, wiki pages, widgets, flair, and search. Endpoints are organized by section and by OAuth scope, and most listing endpoints (such as post and comment feeds) share a common pagination protocol using after/before, limit, count, and show parameters rather than page numbers.
Authentication for API requests uses OAuth; a legacy CSRF-prevention mechanism called a modhash is also documented, obtainable via /api/v1/me or listing endpoint responses, and is not required when using OAuth. The documentation is auto-generated and references a separate set of API access rules that users are expected to follow.
This API is intended for developers building applications or integrations that read or write Reddit data, including posts, comments, subreddit information, user profiles, moderation actions, and messaging.
