Subreddit Details
Retrieve subreddit details from Reddit with a single API request.

Request parameters
Up to 1 creditSubreddit name. MUST be case sensitive. So 'AskReddit' not 'askreddit'.
Subreddit URL
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.]
Live requests use your prepaid balance. Cached responses cost zero where supported.
