Turn Reddit into a REST + MCP endpoint
Writ turns the Reddit actions you already do in a browser into a callable REST endpoint your software (and your AI agents) can call.
curl -X POST https://api.usewrit.app/v1/reddit/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer wt_8f2c...a91" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "input": { "query": "your search term" } }' No Reddit API yet? Build one in minutes
Record the Reddit task once (search a subreddit, then open a thread) and call it as a REST endpoint and an MCP tool. No backend project, no waiting on Reddit to ship an API.
- 1Record the Reddit task once
Open the recorder and search a subreddit on Reddit in a real browser. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a reusable workflow.
- 2Publish it as an endpoint
One click turns the workflow into a callable REST endpoint at /v1/reddit/run and a matching MCP tool. Inputs become a typed schema.
- 3Call it from anything
Call Reddit from your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent. Run it on your own machine for free, or on metered cloud.
Read the REST API docs, see what's possible on workflows, or search for another site. Free to start. See pricing.
Reddit doesn't give you the endpoint you need
Reddit has an API, but recent pricing and rate-limit changes make many read and monitoring use cases simpler in the browser.
Writ closes that gap. Record the Reddit task once (or describe it to an AI session) and publish it as a REST endpoint at /v1/reddit/run and a matching MCP tool. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
What you can call on Reddit
Each operation below is a real Reddit action recorded into a workflow and exposed as a typed endpoint.
Returns structured fields such as post title, score, comment count, subreddit: typed JSON, not raw page text.
A real Reddit endpoint, authorized with a wt_ key
POST your inputs, get structured output. Authenticate every call with a scoped wt_ key.
curl -X POST https://api.usewrit.app/v1/reddit/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer wt_8f2c...a91" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "input": { "query": "your search term" } }' import requests
r = requests.post(
"https://api.usewrit.app/v1/reddit/run",
headers={"Authorization": "Bearer wt_8f2c...a91"},
json={"input": {"query": "your search term"}},
)
print(r.json()["output"]) {
"run_id": "run_redd_7b21",
"status": "succeeded",
"output": {
"post_title": "...",
"score": "...",
"comment_count": "..."
}
} Also an MCP tool. The same workflow is exposed as an MCP tool your AI agent can call. See Reddit MCP tools, or browse all MCP clients.
Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Reddit
The reason Reddit has no usable API is the same reason it's hard to automate. Writ handles it.
Writ signs into your own Reddit account through a Persona for actions and views that need a session, or reads public threads with no login.
Three ways to build your Reddit endpoint
Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same callable workflow.
Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows.
Trigger your Reddit endpoint on a change
Monitor Reddit for new post matching a query, score threshold, new comment on a thread and fire this endpoint the instant something changes.
Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes an automation trigger that runs your workflow in seconds. Monitor Reddit ▸
Free on your own machine, or on cloud
Local / BYO agent
No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach Reddit even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.
Writ cloud
Metered by running time at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. No infrastructure to manage.
