The data

Reddit data,
ready to work with.

A Reddit finding is more useful when you can see which community discussed it and what people actually said. Search for a topic, inspect the matching post, and retrieve its comments before drawing a conclusion. Keep the subreddit, title and source link with your notes so the discussion remains easy to revisit. Scores and comment totals describe the returned thread; they are not a substitute for reading the replies. Monocrawl supplies structured post and comment records for your application to organise into product-feedback research, community comparisons or source material for an assistant.

Can I search within one subreddit?

Use subreddit/search with the community and query. Consult its parameters for supported sorting and timeframe filters.

Does community detail include a live online-user count?

A live count is not guaranteed. active_users and subscribers are legacy counters and may be null. weekly_active_users carries a separate source-reported weekly measure when supplied. Missing values do not mean zero, and weekly users are not a substitute for members or users online now.

Does a comment response contain the whole discussion?

Not necessarily. Large threads can contain unexpanded replies or incomplete trees. Preserve response warnings and continue only with the pagination the operation actually supports.

Is a Reddit score the same as a like count?

No. Keep the returned score as a Reddit score, including negative values when present. Do not relabel it as likes or use it as a count of individual people.

What Reddit operations can I use?

The catalogue shows 13 currently available operations with their individual prices. Open an endpoint for its accepted inputs, returned fields and limitations.

How much does the Reddit API cost?

Start with 150 free credits. Paid subscriptions start at $29 per month for 10,000 credits, before applicable tax. Each operation has its own price. Check the endpoint reference for variable charges. Compare plans

How do I authenticate requests?

Use your Monocrawl API key in the x-api-key header. The endpoint reference lists any additional inputs needed for the operation. Authentication guide

What request limits apply?

Limits depend on your Monocrawl plan. The Free account ceiling is 600 requests per minute and 50 simultaneous requests. Endpoint capacity and Free daily protections also apply; these ceilings do not guarantee source throughput. Read the limits guide

What should I know about Reddit coverage?

Private, deleted or inaccessible discussions are not a retrievable public archive. Comment trees can be partial. Read completeness warnings and use continuation only when the response supports it.

Is Monocrawl affiliated with Reddit?

Monocrawl is an independent service. Third-party names identify data sources and do not imply a partnership or endorsement.
