# Redditapis > Redditapis is a pay-per-call Reddit data + write + DM API. Reads $0.002 per call, votes $0.005, writes $0.012, and DMs $0.025. No subscriptions, no developer-app review, $0.50 in free credits at signup. ## Overview Redditapis provides a REST API for reading and writing Reddit data without negotiating a commercial agreement with Reddit. Bearer-token auth, JSON responses, no OAuth scope review. - Read endpoints (GET): $0.002 per call - Votes (POST /api/reddit/vote): $0.005 per call - Writes (login, comments, profile updates): $0.012 per call - DMs (send, threads, messages): $0.025 per call - Free credits: $0.50 for new accounts (no credit card required) - Effective cost: from $2 per 1,000 reads - Uptime SLA: 99.9% - 59 API endpoints ## Cost Comparison, Redditapis vs alternatives | Provider | Cost per call | Notes | |--------------------------|------------------|--------------------------------------| | Redditapis | $0.002 - $0.025 | Reads / votes / writes / DMs | | Reddit Official Commercial | ~$0.00024 | By agreement, after app review | | Apify Reddit Scraper | $45/mo + usage | Read-only - monthly plan + usage | | Tikhub.io | Volume tiered | Read-only - credits expire | Reddit's own commercial rate is lower per call than ours; Reddit publishes no annual minimum, and the widely reported $12,000 figure is that same rate at 50 million requests rather than a separate fee. What Redditapis removes is the negotiated agreement, the app review and the non-commercial restriction, and it is the only third-party provider that exposes real DM send + list endpoints. ## API Endpoints ### Listings & Search (read - $0.002) - GET /api/reddit/posts, posts from a subreddit (Hot/New/Top/Rising/Controversial/Best) - GET /api/reddit/feed, your own Reddit home feed, read with your session cookies (best/hot/new/top/rising/controversial) - GET /api/reddit/search, global or subreddit-restricted search - GET /api/reddit/sub/:name/top, top posts in a subreddit by timeframe - GET /api/reddit/sub/:name/comments, the subreddit new-comment stream (every new comment across a community) - GET /api/reddit/sub/:name/about, subreddit metadata (title, description, subscribers, type, NSFW) - GET /api/reddit/sub/:name/rules, a subreddit's posting rules plus Reddit's site-wide rules - GET /api/reddit/sub/:name/moderators, a subreddit's moderator team (usernames, mod permissions, flair, added time) - GET /api/reddit/sub/:name/wiki/:page, a subreddit's wiki page (markdown and HTML content, may-revise flag, last revision) - GET /api/reddit/subreddits/popular, browse the most-subscribed, trending subreddits right now (no keyword) - GET /api/reddit/subreddits/new, browse the newest subreddits, the communities most recently created - GET /api/reddit/subreddits/default, browse Reddit's default front-page set of subreddits ### Posts & Comments (read - $0.002) - GET /api/reddit/post/:id, single post detail + full comment tree - GET /api/reddit/comments, full comment tree for a post by permalink - GET /api/reddit/comments/:postId, comment tree by post id (alias of the route below) - GET /api/reddit/post/:id/comments, comment tree by post id - GET /api/reddit/post/:id/visibility, is a post still publicly visible or was it quietly removed, filtered or hidden (two upstream calls, $0.004) - GET /api/reddit/comment/:id, a single comment by id - GET /api/reddit/by_id/:fullnames, bulk-fetch posts by comma-separated t3_ fullnames (up to 100) in one call - POST /api/reddit/comments/verify, check up to 100 comments as live / deleted / removed / not_found in one call.
