From Request to Clean JSON

You write one line. We do everything between the request and the data.

You send

One API call

GET the Reddit endpoint with your key. That's all your code does.

We handle

Proxies · captchas · parsing

Residential exit, anti-bot walls, JS rendering and extraction, all server-side, on us.

You get

Clean JSON

A structured object every time. No HTML, no scraping code, no maintenance.

The Reddit Subreddit Details endpoint is one API call: send either a subreddit or a URL with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull a subreddit's metadata: description, subscriber and active-user counts, posted rules, topic and creation date. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when Reddit changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON.
