Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Reddit API approval to use this?
No. SubScraper handles all the proxying and infrastructure so you can fetch Reddit data instantly without going through the official Reddit developer approval process.
Is it a REST API or GraphQL?
SubScraper is a clean, standard REST API that returns structured JSON. We also provide a native TypeScript SDK and an MCP server for AI agents.
How is this different from PRAW?
PRAW requires you to register an app with Reddit and pass OAuth credentials. SubScraper just requires a single API key in the authorization header and works across any language, not just Python.
