# Reddit Subreddit Posts API Documentation

<p><strong>Reddit Subreddit Posts API</strong> lists the posts of one subreddit. Sort by <code>hot</code> (default), <code>new</code>, <code>top</code>, <code>rising</code> or <code>controversial</code>. The time window <code>t</code> only works with <code>top</code> and <code>controversial</code>; with another sort the request fails with 422. A subreddit that does not exist, is private or is banned returns 404.</p><p>Each post has id, fullname, title, selftext (<code>null</code> for link posts), author, subreddit, score, upvote_ratio, num_comments, awards, flair, created_at and created_utc, permalink, url, domain, <code>post_type</code> (text, link, image, gallery, video or crosspost), the flags over_18, spoiler, stickied, locked and archived, <code>removed_by_category</code>, <code>thumbnail_url</code>, <code>gallery</code>, <code>video</code> and <code>crosspost_parent</code>. Deleted authors and removed posts show Reddit's own marker such as <code>[deleted]</code>.</p><p>Every list has <code>pagination</code> with <code>limit</code>, <code>after</code>, <code>next_after</code> and <code>has_more</code>. Pass <code>next_after</code> as <code>after</code> to read the next page. A page is never another page's data under a new label. Reddit ends every list after about 1000 items.</p>
