Process thousands of links per second in your scrapers, browser extensions, and AI agent workflows without burning API credits or waiting on HTTP round-trips.
0ms Latency
Parse URLs instantaneously directly inside your client-side JavaScript or Node.js runtime without dispatching network calls or managing rate limits.
Deterministic Routing
Classify links before queueing them to specific scraper workers or AI agent tools. Avoid sending comment links to post crawlers or vice versa.
Ready for @subscraper/sdk
Plug resolved IDs and canonical URLs directly into SubScraper's TypeScript client for type-safe execution, structured error handling, and proxy rotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Reddit URL structures and programmatic resolution.
Standard Reddit post URLs follow the pattern /r/{subreddit}/comments/{postId}/{slug}/, whereas comment permalinks append /comment/{commentId}/ or /{commentId}/ directly to the post discussion thread. Reddit also supports redd.it/{postId} shortlinks that automatically route to the full discussion. Old Reddit (old.reddit.com) shares identical URL hierarchy conventions but serves classic desktop markup.
