Reddit Subreddit Details API
Scrape Reddit Subreddit Details data with one API call. Returns detailed information about a subreddit including subscriber count, active user count, description, creation date, rules, and subreddit icon URL. Note: the subreddit name is case-sensitive here: pass the subreddit's canonical casing (e.g. `AskReddit`, not `askreddit`). An incorrect casing returns a refunded 404.

Returns a subreddit's own details: subscriber count, active user count, description, creation date, rules, and icon URL.
Use it to size up a community before pulling its posts; the name is case-sensitive here, so spell it exactly as Reddit does.
