Reddit CLI (reddit) is a native, high-performance command-line tool and programmatic automation interface designed for retrieving and analyzing Reddit discussions, comments, communities, and user submissions. Developed and maintained under the SpaceCorps open-source engineering collective, the project equips developers and autonomous AI agents with a single, standalone binary capable of operating seamlessly across macOS, Linux, and Windows with zero runtime dependencies.
The original prototype tool was authored as a .NET global tool (Reddit.Console) by Niels Bosma, demonstrating the power of Apify's Reddit scraper for producing YAML structured feeds. In 2026, SpaceCorps ported the tool to Rust Edition 2024 to deliver instant cold-start execution (1–3 ms), eliminate managed runtime requirements, and integrate robust multi-account management with operating-system-level keystores.
Reddit CLI is built around speed, security, and agentic interoperability:
--json for pipeline processing with jq or direct LLM tool-calling loops.auth_required, rate_limited, not_found, invalid_input, no_account) accompanied by remediation hints written to stderr.The code is released under the permissive MIT License.
