[ FAQ ]

Reddit User Activity API questions

How is this different from the user posts and comments endpoints?

It returns posts and comments mixed in the order they were made, like the Overview tab of a profile. Use the other two when you only want one kind.

How do I get a timeline of a Reddit user’s activity?

Send the username. Each item says whether it is a post or a comment, so you can see what the user did and when, up to 10 items per call; send the nextCursor back as cursor for older ones.

How do I use the Reddit User Activity API?

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

How much does the Reddit User Activity 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.
