Saidit

API

Open-source Reddit clone API for social content and community data

Overview

The Saidit API is a RESTful interface for accessing data from the open-source Reddit clone platform. It returns JSON responses and includes endpoints for posts, comments, subsaids (community groups), user profiles, and votes. Developers can fetch trending content, search posts by keyword, or access subsaid details. Use cases include building third-party Saidit clients, analyzing community discussions, integrating Saidit data into educational tools, or automating moderation tasks. Its structure mirrors Reddit’s API, simplifying integration for developers familiar with Reddit’s ecosystem.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://www.saidit.net/dev/api')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
