Overview

WakeScrap exposes this Reddit endpoint as a live-data API. The platform keeps the documented request and response shape stable while unifying auth, request tracking, and credits billing.

Retrieves metadata about a subreddit by name or URL. The subreddit name must be case-sensitive. Returns display_name, description, subscribers, weekly_active_users, weekly_contributions, rules, icon_img, header_img, advertiser_category, submit_text, and created_at.

Optional query parameters can be combined in a single request.
