RedditAPIs

RedditAPIs (also styled Redditapis) is an independent, pay-per-call REST API that provides programmatic access to Reddit data, write actions, and direct messages. It is built and operated by a small developer team and is explicitly not affiliated with or endorsed by Reddit Inc. The service is designed to remove the friction that developers and AI agents typically face when working with Reddit: instead of going through Reddit's official developer-app review, managing OAuth scopes, or maintaining scraper infrastructure, users sign up, receive a bearer token, and make HTTP calls that return clean JSON. The platform exposes 59 REST endpoints covering reads (posts, comments, users, communities, search), write actions (posting comments, casting votes, sending direct messages), and streaming. Pricing is transparent and per call: reads cost $0.002, votes $0.005, writes $0.012, and DMs $0.025. New users receive $0.50 in free credits with no card required, and there are no subscriptions or minimums. The company positions itself as the best-priced Reddit API on the market, comparing favorably against alternatives such as Tikhub.io, the official Reddit Data API, Apify, and Bright Data in terms of endpoint coverage, setup time, and rate limits. A key differentiator is its support for direct messages. RedditAPIs claims to be the only third-party Reddit API with real DM send and list capabilities, avoiding browser automation and flaky session hacks. The service also offers an official read-only Reddit MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Claude and Cursor, installable via `npx -y redditapis-mcp`, which makes it easy for AI agents to consume Reddit data. The company operates the proxy rotation and retry layer on its own infrastructure, so callers do not have to manage IP rotation, blocks, or session persistence. Setup is advertised as taking under five minutes: sign up with Google, copy the API key, and send the first request. RedditAPIs is a private, independent product brand with no disclosed parent company or outside ownership.

RedditAPIs was created to address a persistent problem in the developer ecosystem: accessing Reddit programmatically is difficult and increasingly restricted. Reddit's official Data API gates commercial use behind an application review process, its free tier is tightly capped, and unofficial scraping methods have been closing one by one. Developers who wanted to read or interact with Reddit data often had to build and maintain complex infrastructure—rotating IP addresses, handling blocks, retrying failures, keeping sessions alive, and rebuilding everything whenever Reddit changed something upstream. The team behind RedditAPIs decided to run that infrastructure layer once and expose it as a normal REST API. The result is a service that publishes 59 endpoints accessible with a single bearer token, with no developer-app review and no OAuth scopes. Pricing is per call rather than by subscription, and the company handles proxy rotation and retry logic so that callers receive clean JSON instead of blocked requests. The service launched with a focus on reads—posts, comments, users, communities, and search—and later expanded to programmatic write actions including posting comments, casting votes, and sending direct messages. According to the company, it is the only third-party Reddit API with real DM send and list capabilities, distinguishing it from alternatives that rely on browser automation or session hacks. RedditAPIs also introduced an official read-only Reddit MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Claude and Cursor, installable via `npx -y redditapis-mcp`, positioning itself for the growing market of AI agents that need to consume Reddit data. The company emphasizes transparency, publishing its endpoint count and pricing publicly, and states that it is an independent operation not affiliated with or endorsed by Reddit Inc. As of the available evidence, no founding date, founder names, headquarters location, or parent company have been disclosed.
