How it works

One request, one response.

  1. 1

    Send username

    POST the target Reddit handle to the query endpoint using your API key.

  2. 2

    Profile retrieval

    The system fetches the public metadata associated with the specified Reddit account.

  3. 3

    Receive JSON

    Get a structured response containing link karma, comment karma, and account age.

Capabilities

What you get.

Everything this endpoint does, without running the infrastructure yourself.

Karma breakdown

Returns specific totals for link and comment karma to evaluate user participation.

Account status

Detects if a profile is currently active or if the username is unavailable.

Metadata extraction

Retrieves creation timestamps, avatar URLs, and account verification status.

Simple integration

Uses a single JSON POST body with no platform-specific header or signature requirements.

Cost of ownership

Build it yourself, or call this.

Both are real options. Here is what each one actually costs you.

Run it yourself

  • Manage Reddit OAuth client secrets
  • Handle platform-specific rate limit headers
  • Parse complex PRAW objects into clean JSON
  • Maintain proxy rotation for public requests

Call the API

  • One POST request per profile
  • No OAuth management required
  • Standardized JSON output
  • Pay only for successful responses

Integrate

Built for the language you use.

One HTTP endpoint. Copy the call in your language and go.

example.sh
curl -X POST https://automatio.ai/api/v1/query \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTOMATIO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "tool": "reddit_user", "params": { "username": "spez" } }'

In production

What people build with it.

Influencer validation

Input a username to check karma totals and account age. Marketing platforms use this to verify the authenticity and community reach of Reddit personalities before engagement.

Customer support enrichment

Connect Reddit handles to internal CRM records. The API provides public metadata to help support agents understand a user's community standing and history.

Anti-spam filtering

Programmatically check the age of a Reddit account during registration. New accounts with low karma can be automatically flagged for manual review in community management tools.

Alternatives

When to use something else.

A page that pretends it has no alternatives reads as an advert. These are the other real options.

Official Reddit API

Requires OAuth and app registration, but offers higher volume for write operations and private data access.

PRAW (Python Reddit API Wrapper)

Powerful for bot development, though it requires significant boilerplate code and infrastructure to manage credentials.

Before you integrate

What it does not do.

The boundaries are as useful as the features. These are the ones worth knowing up front.

Public data only

Cannot access private user settings, registered email addresses, or private messages.

No activity logs

This endpoint focuses on profile metadata; it does not return lists of recent comments or posts.

Account visibility

Profiles that have been shadowbanned or deleted by the platform will return an error indicating the user does not exist.
