One Reddit API key for read, write, and DM.
We price every read at $0.002 per call (source: our published pricing), with votes at $0.005, writes at $0.012, and DMs at $0.025. It is the same flat rate for every account, with no developer-app review and no minimum spend. New accounts start with $0.50 in free credits, enough for 250 reads before you pay anything, and credits never expire. Read the full per-endpoint rates on the pricing page.
Cheaper than the official Reddit Data API
Per Reddit's 2023 pricing announcement, official commercial access starts at a $12,000-per-year Standard tier plus roughly $0.24 per 1,000 calls, behind an app-review queue. RedditAPI starts at $2 per 1,000 reads with no contract and no approval, and it covers write and DM endpoints the official tier does not expose. See the per-call math against every provider on the Reddit API alternatives page, or the historical-data path on the Pushshift alternative breakdown.

Reddit API FAQ.
Everything you need to know - and a few things developers ask before signing up.
The Reddit API is an HTTP interface to Reddit's data and write actions. With RedditAPI you can fetch posts, comments, users, subreddits and search results, post comments, cast votes, and send DMs - all behind one bearer token. Reads cost $0.002, votes $0.005, writes $0.012, and DMs $0.025 per call. See every endpoint on the pricing page.
Sign up with Google or email, generate a Reddit API key instantly, and start making requests - under two minutes from signup to your first response. No Reddit developer app, no OAuth scope review, no approval queue. New accounts get $0.50 in free credits to test before paying. Get an API key.
Pass your Reddit API key as a bearer token in the Authorization header, then call any endpoint over HTTPS. Reads use GET, writes use POST. Most clients work - curl, Postman, Python requests, Node fetch. Full Reddit API documentation lives at docs.redditapis.com with copy-paste examples for every endpoint.
RedditAPI is plain HTTP, so any Python HTTP library works - requests, httpx, aiohttp. Set the Authorization header to your Reddit API key, hit the endpoint, parse the JSON. No PRAW wrapper, no OAuth flow, no Reddit developer app review. The same Python code that talks to any REST API works here.
Reddit API use cases include AI training data, brand monitoring, lead generation, market research, content moderation, MCP agents, and DM outreach. Teams use Reddit data to find product mentions, train models on public discussions, and automate engagement. See the Reddit API use cases page for fourteen real workflows.
