[ FAQ ]

Reddit User Comments API questions

How do I see a Reddit user’s comment history?

Send the username. You get their most recent comments, up to 10 per call, each with its text, score and subreddit, and the title, link and author of the post it was left on; send the nextCursor back as cursor for older ones.

Can I check what a user has said about a product?

Pull their recent comments and search the text. For mentions by anyone on Reddit, use the Reddit Comment Search API instead.

How do I use the Reddit User Comments API?

Send a POST request to https://api.bridgly.app/reddit/list-user-comments with username in the JSON body and your API key in the Authorization header. In the TypeScript SDK, call client.reddit.listUserComments(). AI agents connected to Bridgly over MCP can call the reddit_list_user_comments tool.

How much does the Reddit User Comments API cost?

Costs 1 credit per request. Credits cost $2.00 per 1,000 on pay-as-you-go and as low as $1.00 per 1,000 at volume. New accounts on a business email start with 100 free credits, and failed requests are never charged.
