Can I Post

Check before posting whether a post in this subreddit can go through. Returns allowed (true, false or "unknown"), reasons (each with a code such as banned, private, restricted_approved_only, archived, submission_type, flair_required, title_rule, body_rule, domain_blocked, low_karma_hint, new_account_hint, email_unverified, and a readable detail), the subreddit's posting requirements and post rules, and, when you send your Reddit session in the x-reddit-session and x-reddit-loid headers, the account facts used (karma, account age, email verified, banned or approved here). It never answers true on a read that failed, and karma and age only ever produce hints, because subreddits do not publish their AutoModerator thresholds. Cost: $0.0015 per call.
