Post Transcript

Retrieve post transcript from Reddit with a single API request.

GET/api/data/v1/reddit/post/transcript
1credit base costZero-credit cache supported

Request parameters

Up to 1 credit

Reddit post URL or direct v.redd.it video URL

2 letter language code. Defaults to en.

If we have a response in the cache that is this many days old or newer, return the cached response (0 credits, with "cached": true and a "cached_at" timestamp). Otherwise, scrape a live result (1 credit). [See the Caching page for details.]

Try in the console

Live requests use your prepaid balance. Cached responses cost zero where supported.
