Message to Reddit via URL

Question

Can I send a link to Reddit via URL?

For example, for Facebook you can do

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http://stackoverflow.com"> Share Stackoverflow on your profile! </a> 

Does Reddit have an equivalent endpoint that I can get to share a URL with?

Answer 1

There are several ways to do this, depending on which application you have.

• If you are doing something interactive, you can send the user to the submit page with the URL and title already filled in. The following URL will open the reddit submit form with a link to this question:

  stack overflow

• If you just want people to be able to post your site or blog post to reddit, you can use the reddit button on instead of this page.

• If you are writing an application or script where you need to send the URL for reddit, you can use / api / send the route to the reddit API. If the user who submits the link has less than 2 links to karma, CAPTCHA may be provided.
