No official Redditapis SDK exists on PyPI or npm as a general-purpose client library. The API is plain REST with one bearer token, so a standard HTTP client in any language is the supported way in. This page and its language guides show exactly how, with samples that run against the real API.
Reddit API client libraries
One bearer token, plain REST, no package to install for a general client. Pick a language for auth, runnable examples, and error handling.
Does Redditapis publish a Reddit API SDK?
No. There is no Redditapis client library on PyPI, and the one npm package published, redditapis-mcp, is a Model Context Protocol server for AI agent tools rather than a JavaScript SDK. The API is plain REST behind one bearer token, so the supported way in from any language is a standard HTTP client. Pick a language below for auth, real endpoint calls, and error handling.
Choose a language
Both guides call the same 52-endpoint REST surface, so the choice below is about your runtime, not the API.
What actually ships
No SDK on PyPI
No pip install for a Redditapis client. requests is the Python way in.
One npm package, and it is an MCP server
redditapis-mcp wraps read + monitoring endpoints as agent tools, not as a JS client import.
A stable, published REST surface
52 endpoints behind one bearer token, with an OpenAPI document for anyone who wants to generate typed stubs.
Frequently asked questions
It is a real, published npm package, a Model Context Protocol server that exposes the read endpoints plus monitor and webhook management as tools for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients. It is built for AI agents calling tools, not for importing into a regular application as a client library.
Python if you are scripting or doing data work; JavaScript if you are building a Node service or calling from an edge function. Both guides call the same endpoints and hit the same pricing, so the choice is about your runtime, not the API.
No. Redditapis holds the connection to Reddit on its side. You get one bearer token from a Redditapis account and send it on every request, with no OAuth client, no scopes, and no app review.
Reads are $0.002 per call across most of the 52 endpoints, one deep-search endpoint is $0.02, votes are $0.005, writes are $0.012, and DMs are $0.025. Every new account starts with $0.50 in free credits.
