§ Questions
The honest
answers.
The questions that come up before the first call. If yours isn’t here, the founder reads support email himself — just write in.
Do I need proxies to use the Reddit scraper?
No. Every endpoint runs on our residential pool — fifty million IPs sourced through opt-in partner SDKs. You send an HTTP request with your API key; rotation, retries, and anti-bot handling are ours to worry about.
How does HProxy get past Reddit’s rate limits and bot detection?
Each call is routed through a residential session that matches typical organic traffic patterns. We don’t advertise specifics; what matters is the result — a 99%+ success rate on public-data endpoints in real customer traffic.
What does the JSON response look like?
Every endpoint returns a flat top-level wrapper (platform, scraper, data, creditsUsed, elapsedMs, requestId) with the parsed Reddit entity inside data. See the live example near the top of this page for the exact shape.
Is scraping public Reddit data legal?
Public data scraping (no login, no private content, no PII beyond what reddit.com itself publishes) sits within the boundaries set by hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn and similar US/EU precedents. We don’t serve endpoints that touch authenticated content. You’re responsible for your own use of the data under your local data-protection law (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
What does each call cost?
From $0.003 per call on the standard endpoints. Endpoints that do heavier upstream work — AI transcripts, posts with media archived to R2 — cost more. The exact per-call price shows on each endpoint row below. One call = one charge, never multiplied by record count.
Can I test before signing up?
Yes — the wallet starts with a $2 deposit that’s refundable for 24 hours. That’s plenty of calls to verify the response shape matches what you’re building across all 7 Reddit endpoints.
How fast are the responses?
Median response time across the Reddit endpoints is under 2 seconds. Heavier endpoints (deep comment threads, cursor-paginated lists) can run 4-8 seconds depending on the page depth requested.
§ Try it
Two dollars,
first run.
Sign in with Google, drop $2 in the wallet, fire your first Reddit call against reddit.com. If it doesn’t do what you need, the balance is refundable for 24 hours.
