Use for questions involving the API for Reddit, a social news ranking website.

Reddit, pronounced /ˈrɛdɪt/ or "red-it", is a social news ranking website.

Users have the option to submit links to content on the Internet or submit "self" posts that contain original, user-submitted text.

Other users may then vote the posted links "up" or "down" with the most successful links gaining prominence by reaching the front page.

In addition, users can comment on the posted links and reply to other commentators consequently forming an online community. Reddit users (also referred to as redditors) may create their own topical sections, known as subreddits, for which to submit their links and to comment, while appealing to a specific niche.

Reddit is open source, and the primary codebase is hosted on Github. An extensive API is also provided.
