Reddit Live API
Pulls recent posts and comments directly from Reddit's public JSON endpoints — the same data Reddit shows anyone who visits a profile.

⬡ OVERVIEW
How It Works
Reddit only shows your recent activity and lets users hide their post history. RedditDig cross-references three independent sources to piece together a fuller picture.
PullPush Archive
Queries the PullPush API, a community-maintained Pushshift successor that has indexed hundreds of billions of Reddit items going back years.
Arctic Shift Archive
Checks Arctic Shift, another independent archive with deep historical coverage — often capturing content deleted hours or days after posting.
Smart Deduplication
Results from all three sources are merged and deduplicated by post ID so you see each item once, clearly labelled with its origin.
Hidden Profile Detection
When Reddit's API returns zero results but archives surface activity, RedditDig automatically flags the account as having a hidden profile.
NSFW Classification
Subreddit ratings are fetched in real-time and applied per-item, letting you filter adult content in or out with one click.
⬡ USE CASES
Who Uses RedditDig
MODERATORS
Verify whether a newly created account is a ban evader by checking whether their posting style, subreddit choices, or phrasing match a previously banned user's archived history.
BOT HUNTERS
Expose coordinated inauthentic behaviour — bots often delete posts after the engagement window closes, leaving traces in archives that RedditDig can surface.
LARP DETECTORS
When someone's story doesn't add up, cross-referencing their deleted comment history against current claims can reveal contradictions they thought were safely erased.
JOURNALISTS
Researchers and journalists investigating online communities can use RedditDig to build a more complete picture of a subject's public Reddit presence.
⬡ TRANSPARENCY
Privacy & Data Policy
RedditDig does not store, log, or retain any data — search queries, usernames, or results. Every search is a live, ephemeral request made directly from your browser to public third-party APIs. The moment you close the tab, everything is gone.
Only public Reddit data is accessed — the same data visible to anyone on reddit.com
No account, login, or OAuth required at any point
No database, no server-side logging, no cookies beyond Cloudflare's standard infrastructure
Because no data is stored here, there is nothing to delete. If you want your Reddit history removed, delete it on Reddit directly or use a third-party scrubber tool. Archive sites (PullPush, Arctic Shift) operate independently — contact them for their own removal policies.
⬡ FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you delete my data from RedditDig?
There is nothing to delete — RedditDig stores no data whatsoever. Each search makes live API calls and the results exist only in your browser tab. Closing the tab clears everything. If you want to remove your Reddit history from archives like PullPush or Arctic Shift, you need to contact those services directly.
Is this legal?
Yes. RedditDig only accesses data that is publicly accessible without authentication. It uses Reddit's own public JSON API (the same one Reddit's website uses) and community-maintained archive APIs that index public content. No private data, no scraping behind logins, no ToS violations.
Why can't I see some deleted posts?
Archive coverage isn't perfect. If a post was deleted within minutes of being made, or before the archive crawlers indexed it, it may not appear in any archive. Coverage also varies by subreddit and time period.
Will this always be free?
Yes. RedditDig is a personal project with no monetisation plans. It relies entirely on free tiers of Cloudflare Pages and free public APIs. There are no ads, no premium tiers, and no plans to add them.
Why does a profile show as "hidden" with no results?
Reddit allows users to make their post history invisible to others while keeping it visible to themselves. When RedditDig detects that a user exists (their profile page loads) but Reddit's API returns zero posts or comments for an established account, it flags the profile as hidden. Archive results may still appear if the content was indexed before it was hidden.
What is the difference between PullPush and Arctic Shift?
Both are independent community-maintained archives of Reddit data, built as successors to Pushshift after it was shut down. They have different crawl histories and coverage gaps, which is why RedditDig queries both — results found in one may not appear in the other.
