# Reddit Profile API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/reddit/profile)

> Returns one Reddit account by username: the four-way karma split, the cake day, the bio, the avatar and banner, the trophy count and the profile title. `author.likes_count` is TOTAL karma; the split that Reddit users actually reason about is at `ext.post_karma`, `ext.comment_karma` and `ext.awardee_karma`, and the three sum to the total. `author.joined_at` is the cake day. `author.display_name` carries Reddit's `t2_` fullname, which is the same value and the same encoding this API puts on `post.author.display_name` and `comment.author.display_name`, so a profile joins to that account's posts and comments on one field. `author.followers` is null and stays null: Reddit publishes no public follower count for an account, and the upstream's own `subscribers` field is 0 on every account measured, so reporting it would publish a hard zero as though it were a measurement. Verification, moderator and employee flags are not available on this surface and are null rather than guessed. A username that does not exist returns 404 and costs nothing. Usernames are matched case-insensitively.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/reddit/profile` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.
