Pull the posts a Reddit user has submitted, by username or /user/ URL. Get subreddit, text and like and comment counts, filtered by time window and sort order. Messages and private votes are excluded, and not every post is guaranteed. For usernames that start with u, pass a full URL.

Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to reddit and action set to user_posts. Price $0.56 per 1,000 requests ($0.000556 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Reddit Posts by user endpoint (reddit/user_posts).

How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to reddit and action to user_posts, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - username: Specifies the username or full /user/username/ URL for user_posts. For usernames that start with u, pass the full URL and check the result. user_comments also takes the username, u/username or a profile URL.
- Optional parameters:
  - date_range: Filters posts by time range for subreddit and user listings. Allowed values are all_time, past_hour, past_day, past_week, past_month, and past_year. (allowed: all_time / past_day / past_hour / past_month / past_week / past_year)
  - sort: Orders Reddit post listings by newest, popular, relevance, rising, or top. The post_detail and comments actions do not accept sort. (allowed: newest / popular / relevance / rising / top)
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 50. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 10)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: id, url, title, text, author_username, community, like_count, comment_count, posted_at, flair, domain, external_link; 14 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=reddit.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "reddit",
  "action": "user_posts",
  "params": {
    "username": "spez"
  }
}
- Price: $0.56 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response fields

#

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

FieldMeaning
idThe record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
urlLink to the record on the platform.
titleTitle. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts).
textBody text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so).
author_usernameAuthor's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs.
communityKeeps the platform's own meaning
like_countLikes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0.
comment_countComments. null means not disclosed, not 0.
posted_atPublish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it.
flairKeeps the platform's own meaning
domainKeeps the platform's own meaning
external_linkKeeps the platform's own meaning
thumbnail_urlThumbnail link, lower resolution than image_url.
image_urlsArray of image links in the platform's display order; absent when there are no images.
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

  • Reddit: Public Content, Commercial Licensing, and User Rights Boundaries ↗

    Reddit's Public Content Policy strictly distinguishes between browsable content and licensed commercial usage, requiring commercial users to contact the platform and imposing restrictions such as sync deletion and sensitive profiling. Accessing public posts does not grant a platform license; private messages, private communities, and deleted content fall outside its public content licensing scope.
