Reddit

Fetch up to 100 posts and comments, and 100 communities, in one call

Current state of items you already know about: fresh scores and comment counts, whether a post was removed (removedByCategory) or a comment deleted ([deleted] body), and community metadata — in one request instead of one per item. Accepts the links people actually paste.

Items Reddit did not return (deleted, nonexistent, or not publicly readable) are listed in meta.missing as t3_<id>, t1_<id>, or r/<name>. Results are not filtered for NSFW: you named these items. Billed per item returned.
