Moderation Bots & Tooling
Reddit Help
Moderators have created custom tools to help operate their communities using browser add-ons, custom scripts, and other tooling that uses the Reddit Data API. Our API allows free access to moderators and developers creating these tools for non-commercial use cases.
As of July 1, 2023, we are increasing the API limits for our free API usage from 60 to 100 Queries Per Minute for those using OAuth authentication. Please see our
Reddit Data API Wiki for more details about our legacy API resources, usage, and rate limits.
The vast majority of moderator bots and other tooling using our Data API will fall into the free API tier. If you have a bot that is going over these rate limits, is broken, or is otherwise impacted by updates related to the API, please
contact our team. We are committed to working with you to find a solution for your moderator tooling.
Developers looking to port over an existing moderation bot or tool to Reddit’s Developer Platform will be granted immediate access. Please
contact the Developer Platform team to request access. Please indicate that you are in need of tool porting assistance in your message.
