Reddit Subreddits Search
Find communities by topic. Each request reads one 25-community source page; limit (1–25) trims the returned rows while continuation advances past all source rows. Cursor identity binds query and limit. Source-provided creation dates and language may be present. include=details hydration, weekly activity metrics and rules are unsupported. Results follow Reddit relevance and may include loosely related communities. 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.
