Every Reddit endpoint

One row per endpoint: the request, what comes back and what one call costs.

What people do with Reddit data

Each job has its own page with the endpoints it takes, a worked run and its cost.

Start in three steps

The example is Reddit post search; every Reddit endpoint is called the same way and answers in the same shape.

  1. Get a key

    Create an account and a key in the console. A new key comes with $0.10 to try, no card.

    Open the console

  2. Connect your AI, or call it yourself

    Paste this sentence into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or another agent that can open a link, and it sets itself up. Or send the request below with your key in the Authorization header.

    Set up okdata for me by following https://okdata.online/agents.md. Here is my okdata API key: okd_…. Keep it safe and use it for all okdata calls.

    Swap the placeholder for your own key, or sign in and copy it with the key filled in.

  3. Make the first call

    Items arrive in data.items (one object in data.item), the next page in page.next_cursor and what you were charged in meta.billing.amount.

    cURL

    curl -G "https://api.okdata.online/v1/reddit/posts/search" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $OKDATA_API_KEY" \
      --data-urlencode 'query=saturn rings'

    Python

    import os
    import requests
    
    resp = requests.get(
        "https://api.okdata.online/v1/reddit/posts/search",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['OKDATA_API_KEY']}"},
        params={"query": "saturn rings"},
        timeout=60,
    )
    body = resp.json()
    if body["code"] != "ok":
        raise RuntimeError(f"{body['code']}: {body['message']} (charged: {body['charged']})")
    
    for row in body["data"]["items"]:
        print(row["id"], row["metrics"]["likes"], row["text"][:60])
    print("cost: $" + body["meta"]["billing"]["amount"])

    TypeScript

    const url = new URL('https://api.okdata.online/v1/reddit/posts/search');
    url.searchParams.set('query', "saturn rings");
    
    const res = await fetch(url, {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.OKDATA_API_KEY}`,
      },
    });
    const body = await res.json();
    if (body.code !== 'ok') throw new Error(`${body.code}: ${body.message}`);
    
    for (const row of body.data.items) {
      console.log(row.id, row.metrics.likes, row.text.slice(0, 60));
    }
    console.log('cost: $' + body.meta.billing.amount);

Questions about the Reddit API

What does the Reddit API cost?

Each of the 11 endpoints has its own price, from $0.002 to $0.004 a call; the cheapest is Reddit Popular feed at $0.002. You pay per call from a prepaid balance, with no subscription, and a failed call is not charged.

Do I need a Reddit account or cookie?

No. You call https://api.okdata.online with one okdata key and get public Reddit data back; no Reddit account, cookie or QR login is involved.

How fresh is the data?

Most endpoints read Reddit at the moment you call. Hot lists come from a shared snapshot that is at most 10 minutes old.

Can my AI agent use the Reddit API?

Yes. Connect the MCP server at https://api.okdata.online/mcp: its find tool lists these 11 endpoints with their prices, and its call tool runs them on your key.

Can I try it for free?

New accounts get $0.10 of trial credit with no card: enough for 50 calls to Reddit Popular feed.

Connect once, then just ask.

Every new key comes with $0.10 to try it. One sentence connects your agent.
