Affiliate program
Redditapis Affiliate Program
RedditAPI is a Reddit API whose affiliate program pays a 20% lifetime commission on every payment from a referred customer, capped at $5,000 per affiliate per calendar year. It is open to anyone with a RedditAPI account, no waitlist and no approval step, and earnings can convert to RedditAPI credits with a 15% bonus. Our platform gives every referral the same 52 endpoints, per our published API reference.
The Redditapis affiliate program pays a 20% lifetime commission on every payment a referred customer makes, capped at $5,000 per affiliate per calendar year. Referrals are attributed on signup, commission accrues for as long as that customer keeps paying, and earnings can be taken as a payout or converted into Redditapis credits.

Workflow
How it works
Four steps from sharing your link to getting paid.
1
Share your referral link
Use your Redditapis affiliate link in guides, newsletters, communities, videos, templates, or comparison pages.
2
A referred user buys credits
When a new referred customer makes an eligible payment, the commission is recorded against your affiliate account.
3
Commission becomes available
Commissions stay pending for a 30-day holdback, then become available for withdrawal or credit conversion.
4
Withdraw or convert to credits
Withdraw through supported payout methods once available, or convert earnings to Redditapis credits with a 15% bonus.
Eligibility
Program rules
What counts and what doesn't.
- Commission is 20% of gross checkout value on every eligible payment.
- Commissions are lifetime for each valid referred customer, subject to the $5,000 per affiliate per calendar year cap.
- Self-referrals, duplicate accounts, fake accounts, payment abuse, coupon abuse, and existing customer referrals are not eligible.
- Converted Redditapis credits are not withdrawable after conversion.
Withdrawals
Payout options
Withdrawal methods coming as the affiliate dashboard ships.
PayPal
Good for fast email-based payouts once payout automation is enabled.
Stripe
Best for affiliates who want payouts through a connected Stripe account.
Wise
Useful for international bank transfers once Wise payout support is added.
The program is open to everyone - no waitlist or approval needed. Until the fully automated PayPal, Stripe, and Wise integrations are live, payouts may be processed via manual review on request.
Conversion rate
Why Redditapis converts well for affiliates
The same things that make Redditapis a fast sell to a developer also make it a fast sell to your audience.
- Reads from $0.002 per call - orders of magnitude cheaper than the official Reddit Commercial tier ($12,000/yr minimum).
- 30-second signup with Google - no Reddit Developer App, no OAuth scope review queue.
- $0.50 in free credits at signup with no credit card - readers can copy-paste a working snippet immediately.
- Single Bearer header for auth - no OAuth scaffolding, no token refresh, no 429 retry logic.
- Only third-party Reddit API with real DM send + list endpoints - uniquely useful for outreach use cases.
- Lifetime commission means recurring API spend keeps paying you year after year.
Audiences
Who refers Redditapis well
Audiences that already need a Reddit API. If you have one of these, this program is built for you.
Developer YouTubers & creators
Tutorial channels covering scraping, automation, sentiment analysis, or social-data side projects - viewers convert because they need an API key inside the same tutorial.
Comparison & review writers
Reviewers covering Reddit API alternatives, RapidAPI listings, or scraping marketplaces. Redditapis wins most pricing comparisons on cost and time-to-first-call.
Indie SaaS newsletters
Indie hacker, bootstrapped, and devtools newsletters. Founders running on tight margins are the audience most sensitive to a 6,000× API cost reduction vs Reddit's Commercial tier.
Course & template creators
Anyone shipping a paid course, Notion template, or starter kit that touches Reddit data. Redditapis removes the developer-app review step that usually blocks readers.
Sizing
Quick math: what could you earn?
Conservative estimates assuming average referred customer spend of $30/month and 12-month retention.
| Referred customers | Avg / mo | Annual customer value | Your 20% / yr | As credits (+15%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | $30 | $1,800 | $360 | $414 |
| 20 | $30 | $7,200 | $1,440 | $1,656 |
| 50 | $30 | $18,000 | $3,600 | $4,140 |
| 100cap hit | $30 | $36,000 | $5,000 | $5,750 |
The $5,000 annual cap kicks in around the 70-customer mark at $30/mo average spend. High-volume referrals earn faster but stop accruing once the cap is hit; the cap resets each calendar year.
Sharing
Your referral link
Sign up for Redditapis and your unique affiliate link is generated immediately - no application, no approval. Share either the homepage or signup variant; both attribute the conversion to you.
Share link
https://www.redditapis.com/?ref=YOUR_CODEDirect signup link
https://www.redditapis.com/signup?ref=YOUR_CODEReplace YOUR_CODE with the unique string assigned to your affiliate account in the dashboard. Cookie-based attribution captures the referral when the visitor clicks the link, even if they sign up later.
Convert earnings to credits for 15% more value
If you use Redditapis yourself, converting available commission into API credits gives you extra buying power. A $100 commission becomes $115 in Redditapis credits. Converted credits never count as withdrawable cash.
