## Common Questions

Do I need a Reddit account or OAuth?

No. Every endpoint authenticates with your Anysite API key — there’s no Reddit app to register, no OAuth flow, and no per-user token.

Can I read full comment threads?

Yes. The post comments endpoint returns the whole thread including nested replies in one call — no recursive id-by-id fetching.

How do sorting and filtering work, and what’s not covered?

Subreddit posts take a sort of hot, new, top, or rising and a time filter from hour to all — there’s no controversial sort value. Coverage is public communities only; data is pulled at query time, not from a cache.
