Look up a Reddit account by username: account age, total, post and comment karma, avatar, and when available bio and badges (verified, moderator, employee, premium). Costs 2 credits. Tip: set detail=full to ask for bio and badges (3 credits); they can still be null when Reddit does not expose them. Costs up to 3 credits.
