Query parameters

subredditstring required

Subreddit name (no r/ prefix)

sortstring

new (default) | hot | top | rising | controversial | best

tstring

Timeframe for sort=top/controversial: hour | day | week | month | year | all

limitinteger

Number of results to return, 1-100 (default 25)

afterstring

Pagination cursor. Pass back the after value from the previous response exactly as it was sent; it is opaque and carries your paging depth. When after comes back null there is no next page to request, but that does not always mean you have every item: Reddit often stops serving a busy listing long before it runs out, and it also caps any single listing at roughly 1000 items. The response says which happened in listing_status (complete, truncated, or unknown). Only complete means you have everything.
