Why developers switch
The problem with Reddit data.
Reddit's official API is incredibly expensive for startups. On the other hand, scraping it yourself often gets your IP blocked. We provide the perfect middle ground.
Official API: Too Expensive
Accessing Reddit's official enterprise API can cost thousands of dollars per month. It's out of reach for indie hackers and small teams.
DIY Scraping: A Maintenance Nightmare
Building your own HTML scrapers means you'll be fixing them every week when Reddit pushes UI updates. Focus on your product instead of glue code.
Rate Limits: Too Restrictive
Reddit constantly rate limits bots and unauthenticated requests. We handle proxy rotation and retries so your requests always succeed.
