Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Reddit API

Can I scrape private subreddits?

Our API extracts data from public subreddits only. Private or quarantined subreddits require authentication which we do not support to comply with Reddit's terms.

How fresh is the data?

Data is fetched in real-time when you make an API request. There is no caching, so you always get the latest information available.

What about rate limits?

We handle all rate limiting on our end. Your requests are never throttled regardless of volume. Enterprise plans include dedicated infrastructure for high-volume needs.

Is this compliant with Reddit's ToS?

Our API uses standard web scraping techniques from public pages. We recommend reviewing Reddit's terms and robots.txt for your specific use case.
