Reddit thread API 4 credits

When search surfaces a thread worth reading, this call fetches the post's full body and, with detail=full, the entire discussion tree: comments flattened in tree order with depth, about 200 per page, with a cursor to continue. It also batches: full text for up to 100 posts by their t3_ ids in one call.

Batch pricing starts at 4 credits for up to 10 ids; detail=full works with exactly one id and adds 4 credits.

Parameters#

ParamRequiredTypeDescription

detailnostring'full' adds the discussion tree; only valid with exactly one id, +4 credits.
comment_idnostringA t1_ comment id to fetch in context; only valid with exactly one post id, +4 credits like detail 'full'.
sortnostringDiscussion-tree order; only with detail 'full'.
cursornostringcomments_cursor from a previous detail='full' page.
freshnessnostringrecent (default) serves cached data from the last few hours when available; realtime forces a live fetch for +2 credits (refunded if we fall back to cached data). Trial keys are cached-only and reject realtime with TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED; paying upgrades this same key to unlock it.
max_creditsnointegerSpend ceiling for this one call. The call is rejected (nothing charged) if its quote exceeds this. Only the quote is ever reserved, never this ceiling.

Returns a reddit_thread envelope. Full field list: /docs/fields#reddit_thread.

Pricing#

reddit_get_post costs 4 credits base per call (surcharges for optional sections, cursor pages, and batches are in the full reference). Every key starts with a free budget of 200 credits per IP per day, no account, no card; past that, credits are $2.00 per 1,000 with no subscription required.

FAQ#

Where do post ids come from?

reddit_search, reddit_get_subreddit_posts, or the URL resolver; they're the t3_ values.

Can I fetch one specific comment?

Pass its t1_ id as comment_id (4 credits extra) to get that comment in its post context.

Does one call return the whole tree?

About 200 comments per page in tree order; follow comments_cursor for the rest.
