# Best Reddit API: ranked by live price The best Reddit API depends on what you need next to the posts. For plain monitoring of one subreddit, the cheapest call wins. For sorting, time filters and scores, pick the provider that documents them. This page ranks the looot catalog providers by live price per call. ## Providers - anysite: A subreddit posts endpoint. The catalog describes it in one line and lists no output fields, so read the endpoint page before you rely on a field. Also: Post search, Post comments. - scrapecreators: Returns title, author, flair, text, score, upvote ratio, comment count, date and link for each post, with sort and time filters. It pages with an after token, so a long history takes several calls. Also: Post search, Post comments, Subreddit details, Subreddit search. - tikhub: Returns the feed stream of a subreddit as JSON, with sort and an after token for the next page. The catalog does not list the post fields, so check the endpoint page first. Also: Post comments. ## How we rank Every provider here has an endpoint that returns the posts of a subreddit in the looot catalog. We rank by the price per call of that endpoint, read live from the catalog. A cheaper call ranks higher. The catalog does not publish a measured success rate for these endpoints, so this page does not rank by one and quotes none. Extras are other Reddit endpoints the provider has in the catalog. More extras does not mean better results. Only a few providers have this endpoint, so the list is short. Providers outside the looot catalog are not ranked. ## Choosing one - Sort, time filter and post scores with documented fields: scrapecreators - Subreddit posts next to post search and comments from the same provider: anysite - The raw subreddit feed with a pagination token: tikhub ## Prompt Use looot to check the newest posts in my subreddit: call the cheapest subreddit posts endpoint, list the title, score and comment count of each post, and tell me the total cost. 1. Set up https://looot.ai/skill.md. 2. Search the catalog for each step and check its price before you call. 3. Run the cheapest endpoint that fits. 4.

Pick the cheapest for plain monitoring, or the provider that documents the sort, filter and score fields you need. ## What is the cheapest Reddit API? The first row of the ranking above, read live from the catalog. Prices can change, so the page reads them on each refresh and shows no number when the catalog is unreachable. ## Is there a free Reddit API? This page ranks priced endpoints. Whether Reddit itself offers free access is set by Reddit and outside looot, so read Reddit's own developer documentation for it. ## What are the best Reddit API alternatives? This page ranks every catalog provider that returns the posts of a subreddit, and your agent can call any of them with one key. A vendor that is not in the looot catalog is not ranked here. ## What does a Reddit API return? For a subreddit, a list of posts. A post usually carries a title, author, text, score and comment count. The fields depend on the provider, and the verdict on each row says what the catalog lists. ## How do I get the posts of a subreddit with an API? Send the subreddit name to a subreddit posts endpoint. Some providers also take a sort order and a page token for the next page. The prompt on this page does it with the cheapest one. ## Can I get the comments on a post? Some providers can. The extras tags in the ranking show which ones have a post comments endpoint in the catalog. Run the posts endpoint first, then the comments endpoint on the posts you care about. ## Can I search Reddit by keyword? This page ranks one job, the posts of a subreddit. Some providers also have post search endpoints, shown as extras in the ranking. ## How do I watch a subreddit for mentions of my brand? Pull the newest posts, then read the titles and text for your brand name. Doing it on a timer needs scheduled runs, not available yet, so run it by hand when you want a fresh check. ## How does an agent call a Reddit API? Paste the prompt on this page into your agent. It sets up looot, finds the subreddit posts endpoint, checks the price and runs the cheapest one that fits. Your agent calls it through one connection with no UI. ## Why does this page not show success rates? The catalog does not publish a measured success rate for these endpoints. We would rather rank by a number we can read than quote one we cannot. ## Do I pay while my agent is idle? No. looot bills per call, and nothing runs while your agent is idle. ## Related pages - /best/serp-api - /use-cases/reddit-search-api - /recipes/reddit-brand-listening ## Last reviewed 2026-10-10.
