# Reddit User Overview API Documentation

<p><strong>Reddit User Overview API</strong> mixes the posts and the comments of a user in one feed. Each item has <code>type</code> (<code>post</code> or <code>comment</code>) and the matching object.</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>
