Reddit User Comments API. Comments, page by page.

Comment history of a user, sorted New or Top. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.

Returns the public comments a Reddit user wrote, a page at a time, from their username or profile link. Each has its text, permalink, time and score, the post it is on (ID, title and link) and its subreddit, whom it replied to, and whether Reddit marks it as an admin's or moderator's, pinned or removed. Sort by New, Top, Hot or Controversial.

200 OK · GET https://socialtap.dev/v1/reddit/profile_commentsLong arrays and strings are shortened here. Real responses are complete.Docs

One schema on 9 platforms.

The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.

Null means unknown
A field Reddit doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
What it accepts
Reddit username, with or without u/ (spez, u/spez, /u/spez), or a profile link on any reddit.com host (www, old, new, np, m: reddit.com/user/spez, reddit.com/u/spez, with a tab such as /comments), or the user's profile subreddit (reddit.com/r/u_spez).
Write one parser
Reddit, TikTok, Instagram and 6 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

platformstring: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
idstring: Platform-native comment ID (string; Reddit with its t1_ prefix).
post_idstring: ID of the post commented on (equals post.id).
parent_idstring: ID of the comment this replies to; null for top-level comments.
urlstring: Permalink, when the platform has one.
textstring: Comment body as plain text.
authorobject: The commenting account. An account the platform no longer names (a deleted account) has a null id and username and the platform's label as display_name (Reddit: [deleted]).
published_atstring: When the comment was posted, RFC 3339 UTC. Where the platform shows only a relative time ("3 weeks ago"), the latest time that label allows (the fetch time minus the stated amount), listed in approximate_fields.

What teams build with the Reddit User Comments API.

Read what an account says across subreddits
Monitor a public figure's Reddit replies
Find a user's most upvoted comments

Good to know before you build.

Reddit's feed of a user's comments doesn't say where in its thread each one sits, so parent_id and platform_specific.reddit.depth are null. platform_specific.reddit.reply_to_author names whom a reply answered when Reddit shows it, and the Reddit Comments API returns a comment's thread from its url.
metrics.like_count is the comment's score (upvotes minus downvotes) when it isn't negative, and platform_specific.reddit.score has it either way. Reddit shows no reply count or edit mark on a user's comments, so metrics.reply_count and is_edited are null.
platform_specific.reddit.post has the post's title and link only. The Reddit Post API returns the rest.
A suspended account returns private_or_unavailable. A deleted account or a name nobody has returns not_found. An account with no comments returns an empty page.
When Reddit's feed fails, the page comes from the user's comment RSS feed, which has no scores, account IDs or badges: those fields are null and a partial_data warning names them.
