Call the Reddit communities API and get JSON back in one request. 1 credit per call. Failed calls cost nothing. Lists Reddit's popular or newest communities. ## Request This method has no required parameters. ```typescript TypeScript icon="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/sirathic/images/icons/typescript.svg" theme={null} theme={null} import { Stophy } from "stophy"; const stophy = new Stophy({ apiKey: process.env.STOPHY_API_KEY }); const result = await stophy.reddit.subreddits({ sort: "popular" }); console.log(result.data.results); ``` ```python Python icon="python" theme={null} theme={null} from stophy import Stophy stophy = Stophy() # reads STOPHY_API_KEY result = stophy.reddit.subreddits(sort="popular") print(result["data"]["results"]) ``` ```bash cURL icon="terminal" theme={null} theme={null} curl -X POST https://api.stophy.dev/v1/reddit/subreddits \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $STOPHY_API_KEY" \ -H "content-type: application/json" \ -d '{"sort":"popular"}' ``` ```bash CLI icon="square-terminal" theme={null} theme={null} stophy reddit subreddits --sort popular ``` ## Response If successful, the response body contains the standard envelope. `data.results[]` contains the communities. The following example is a real response, truncated: each list shows one item and long strings are cut. ```json theme={null} { "success": true, "data": { "results": [ { "type": "subreddit", "subredditId": "2qs0k", "subredditName": "Home", "subredditUrl": "https://www.reddit.com/r/Home/", "title": "Home", "members": 432281, "createdAt": "2009-01-25T02:25:57.000Z", "isNsfw": false } ], "cursor": "t5_2cneq" }, "creditsUsed": 1, "requestId": "2fe9dbad-fc48-4890-9751-0b24b596035b" } ``` | Field | Type | Description | | - | - | - | | `cursor` | string | The pagination token. Pass it as `cursor` to retrieve the next page. Omitted on the last page. | | `type` | string | The kind of item: `subreddit`. | | `createdAt` | string (ISO 8601) | The creation time, in UTC. | For every field, see the response schema on this page. ## Optional parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | | - | - | - | | `sort` | string | Specifies which communities are returned first. Acceptable values are `popular` and `newest`. If unset, defaults to `popular`. | | `cursor` | string | The pagination token from the previous response. | ## Billing Each successful request consumes 1 credit, regardless of the number of items returned. Requests that fail, or that return no items, are not billed. ## Pagination Results are paginated. To retrieve the next page, pass the value of `data.cursor` as `cursor` in a subsequent request. A response that omits `cursor` is the last page. ## Related methods * [Reddit subreddit](/api-reference/endpoint/reddit-subreddit): Accepts `subreddit`. Returns a subreddit's info and a page of its posts. ## OpenAPI ````yaml api-reference/openapi.json POST /v1/reddit/subreddits openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Stophy API version: '1' description: >- Every endpoint is a POST that takes its input as a JSON object body. Unknown fields are rejected with 400. Responses leave out empty values: null, empty strings, empty objects and empty nested lists are not sent. x-credits is what one call costs. Every call costs the same, whatever it returns, unless an operation's description says it costs per 10 results, or per second of audio. Then x-credits is the lowest price and x-credits-max the most one call can cost. Where an operation takes limit, send it to return fewer results and pay for fewer. When a response has a cursor, send it back unchanged with the same input to get the next page. When it has a page, send the next page number. servers: - url: https://api.stophy.dev security: - apiKey: [] paths: /v1/reddit/subreddits: post: summary: List Reddit's popular or newest communities description: Costs 1 credit per call.
