Post to Reddit via API: the Reddit API, handled for you (2026)

Publishing to Reddit is not available on PostWire yet. To post to Reddit via API you use Reddit's OAuth2 API with the submit scope and a registered app. When Reddit support launches, PostWire will handle the OAuth and the submit call — you will connect a Reddit account once, pick a subreddit, then publish a self (text) or link post with one REST call or one MCP tool.

How Reddit posting works

Reddit exposes a full OAuth2 API. Posting requires a registered Reddit app, per-user OAuth with the submit (and identity) scopes, and a /api/submit call targeting a specific subreddit. Posts can be self (text) or link. Reddit also enforces each subreddit's own rules and rate limits.

When Reddit support launches, PostWire will manage the OAuth, token refresh, the proper User-Agent and the submit call, so you publish to Reddit the same way you publish everywhere else — one call.

Honest status

PostWire's Reddit integration — connect flow, REST endpoint and MCP tool — is built but not live. Reddit's Data API is now access-gated under its Responsible Builder Policy (manual approval required), so publishing to Reddit is not available until that access is granted. Meanwhile TikTok, Instagram, Facebook Pages, YouTube, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Telegram, Mastodon and Discord are live today — create your free account and start posting there now.

1. Connect a Reddit account (OAuth) — when Reddit support launches

Reddit uses OAuth, not a password. Your user connects in the dashboard, or you generate the authorization URL via the API:

curl -X POST https://postwire.io/api/oauth/reddit/url \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POSTWIRE_API_KEY"
# -> { "url": "https://.../oauth/authorize?..." }
# The user opens the URL, approves, and PostWire stores the token (and refreshes it for you).

2. Publish with one REST call (not available yet)

Once connected, posting is a single request. Add more networks by putting more strings in platforms.

curl -X POST https://postwire.io/api/post \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POSTWIRE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"platforms":["reddit"],"subreddit":"test","title":"My post title","text":"Body text or a URL"}'

3. Or let an AI agent post it (MCP, not available yet)

PostWire ships an MCP server — hosted, or local via npx postwire-mcp, authenticated with your API key. Add it to any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postwire": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "postwire-mcp"],
      "env": { "POSTWIRE_API_KEY": "pw_live_xxx" }
    }
  }
}

Then the agent just calls the tool:

{
  "name": "post_to_social",
  "arguments": { "platforms": ["reddit"], "subreddit": "test", "title": "My post title", "text": "Body text or a URL" }
}

FAQ

Does Reddit have an API?
Reddit has an API, but self-serve app creation for third-party posting is effectively closed. Access goes through a Data Access Request, which is reviewed and can be refused.
Can I post to Reddit via API?
Yes. Reddit's OAuth2 API lets a registered app submit posts to a subreddit on a user's behalf with the submit scope. Publishing to Reddit is not available on PostWire yet; when it launches it will use one REST call and one MCP tool.
Do I need a registered app to post to Reddit?
Yes — Reddit requires an OAuth app and per-user authorization, and self-serve access is now gated behind a Data Access Request. PostWire does not have that access yet, so Reddit is not available on PostWire today.
Can an AI agent post to Reddit through PostWire?
Not yet. Publishing to Reddit is not available on PostWire. When it launches, the agent will call post_to_social (postwire-mcp) with platforms set to reddit, a subreddit, a title and text (or a URL).
Will PostWire post text or link posts to Reddit?
Both, once Reddit support launches (it is not available yet). If text looks like a URL it will become a link post; otherwise a self (text) post with your title and body, in the subreddit you choose per post.
How much does posting to Reddit cost?
Per-brand pricing: Free $0 (1 brand, 10 posts, 2 networks per post), Starter $19 (3 brands), Pro $29 (10), Agency $99 (50), Scale $299 (200). Reddit is not available on PostWire yet.
