# Reddit Profile

> Read public Reddit account metadata by username, without the u/ prefix. Source account ID and karma scores are preserved. Karma is not likes or engagement. Follower counts, email verification, account relationships and private fields are unavailable. Initial upstream verification shares a fixed 200-provider-credit allowance; exhaustion blocks new provider calls.

Read public Reddit account metadata by username, without the u/ prefix. Source account ID and karma scores are preserved. Karma is not likes or engagement. Follower counts, email verification, account relationships and private fields are unavailable.

One uncached successful request costs **1 SocialQuery credits**. Cache hits and failed requests cost zero. Empty successful source windows currently use the same base price; SocialCrawl’s empty-result refund policy is not implemented as parity. Initial provider verification shares a fixed 200-credit allowance; no automatic refill is enabled.
