# Redditapis

> Redditapis is a pay-per-call Reddit data + write + DM API. Reads $0.0015 per call, votes $0.005, writes $0.012, and DMs $0.025. No subscription required for API calls, 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): $0.0015 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 $1.50 per 1,000 reads
- Uptime SLA: 99.9%
- 74 API endpoints

## Cost Comparison, Redditapis vs alternatives

| Provider                 | Cost per call    | Notes                                |
|--------------------------|------------------|--------------------------------------|
| Redditapis                | $0.0015 - $0.025  | Reads / votes / writes / DMs         |
| Reddit Official Commercial | ~$0.00024        | By agreement, after app review       |
| Apify Reddit Scraper     | $0.10/1K results + usage | Read-only - actor marked deprecated |
| Tikhub.io                | $0.001 - $0.01   | Per endpoint, daily volume discounts |

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.

## Quickstart

1. Sign up at https://www.redditapis.com/signup
2. Get your API key instantly (no approval wait)
3. Make API calls to https://api.redditapis.com with your key in the Authorization header (Bearer API_KEY)

## Reddit MCP Server (official npm package)

Redditapis publishes an official Model Context Protocol server on npm as `redditapis-mcp`. It exposes 59 tools to Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, and any MCP client: Reddit reads, monitors and webhooks, and comment, post, vote, DM and scheduling tools that act as your own Reddit account only after you connect it. It runs over stdio through npx with no build step.

- Package: `redditapis-mcp` (npm), https://www.npmjs.com/package/redditapis-mcp
- Install (one line): `npx -y redditapis-mcp@latest`
- Claude Code: `claude mcp add redditapis --env REDDITAPIS_KEY=YOUR_KEY -- npx -y redditapis-mcp@latest`
- Auth: set `REDDITAPIS_KEY` in the environment (Bearer token against https://api.redditapis.com)
- Core read tools: reddit_search, reddit_subreddit_posts, reddit_subreddit_top, reddit_post, reddit_post_comments, reddit_search_comments, reddit_search_communities, reddit_search_media, reddit_search_users, reddit_user_profile, reddit_user_comments
- Write actions (vote, comment, DM) are not in the published server. Wrap the REST endpoints in your own MCP server for those.
- Guide: https://www.redditapis.com/reddit-mcp-server
