Reddit Posts

BRIDGES provides easy access to limited features of Reddit. You are able to access a few popular subreddits and get the most popular top level posts of these subreddits. The API does not enable you to get the comments on the top level post, nor to reply, nor to access arbitrary subreddits outside the supported list. (See the supported list here. )

Advanced Features

Accessing posts in the past

You can access the posts that our service retrieved in the past by passing a unix timestamp to the reddit data function.

You can access the available subreddits programmatically with the DataSource::getAvailableSubreddits() function. This will return a list of strings.
