How many endpoints does the Reddit API have?
Redditapis exposes 59 REST endpoints covering the actions most projects need: 31 GET read endpoints for posts, comments, users, search, and communities at $0.002 per call, 7 write endpoints at $0.012, 3 direct-message endpoints at $0.025, 1 vote endpoint at $0.005, and 15 free account endpoints. Pricing is per call and tiered by action, so you pay only for the endpoints you actually use.
The 59 endpoints by tier
| Tier | Count | Price | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Read (GET) | 31 endpoints | $0.002 per call | Posts, comments, users, search, and communities. |
| Write (POST) | 7 endpoints | $0.012 per call | Comments, submissions, and profile actions. |
| Direct messages | 3 endpoints | $0.025 per call | Send DMs, list threads, read messages. |
| Vote | 1 endpoint | $0.005 per call | Upvote or downvote a post or comment. |
| Account | 2 endpoints | Free | Read your own account and payments. |
| Feedback | 3 endpoints | Free | Send the team a bug, idea or missing-capability report, and read its status. |
| Monitoring | 10 endpoints | Billed by plan | Keyword monitors, their health, deliveries, and webhooks. |
Which endpoints most projects use
Most integrations are read-heavy, so the 31 GET endpoints at $0.002 do the bulk of the work: pulling posts and comments, resolving users, running search, and listing communities. Writes, votes, and direct messages are there when you need them, priced higher because they act on Reddit rather than just read it. See the per-call math on how much the Reddit API costs and the full tiers on the pricing page.
The 15 endpoints you are never billed per call for
15 endpoints of the 59 endpoints cost nothing per request, and they are three different things rather than one free tier.
2 endpoints are account reads. /account/me and /account/payments return your own key status and billing history, and they are free on every plan so that checking what you have spent never becomes part of what you spend. Poll them as often as a dashboard needs.
3 endpoints are feedback. POST /feedback takes a bug, idea or missing-capability report and GET /feedback/{id} reads whether the team triaged, shipped or declined it. They exist for AI agents: the official MCP server drafts a report the moment a tool fails or a capability is missing and sends it only after you review the draft, so telling us what broke never costs a credit.
The other 10 endpoints are the monitoring surface: creating and updating keyword monitors, listing them, checking their health, reading deliveries, and managing webhooks. Those are billed by plan rather than per call, so a monitor that fires a thousand times does not bill a thousand times. Free per call is not the same as free, and this is the tier where that distinction matters.
How to check the number yourself
Endpoint counts are the easiest number in developer marketing to inflate, so here is
where ours comes from. The 59 endpoints is the number of paths in the OpenAPI
document we publish at docs.redditapis.com/openapi.json. Fetch it, count the keys under paths, and you should get the same figure as the table above. The health probe is
deliberately excluded, because a status check is not something you build against.
The tier counts add up to the total on purpose: 31 endpoints reads, 7 endpoints writes, 3 endpoints direct-message endpoints, 1 endpoint vote endpoint, and 15 endpoints unbilled. If a breakdown does not sum to the headline, one of the two numbers is decoration.
