+Reddit’s UGC data transparency is assessed through the [Reddit Data API](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/16160319875092-Reddit-Data-API-Wiki) as a single global resource. The platform does not provide any advertising transparency repository in any of the assessed regions. The Data API offers free access for non-commercial and research purposes, supports content search and user submission retrieval, and returns structured JSON responses with stable OAuth authentication. Reddit is therefore placed in the Negligible band for UGC, primarily because the API does not enable extraction of the full scope of public content. In our testing, the total number of retrievable posts for a given search term varied depending on sort parameters, even when identical queries were used. The API also lacks custom date-range filters, location- or language-based filtering, AI-generated content flags, and any graphical interface for data extraction. As the platform provides no ad repository or mechanism to retrieve data on ads served to other users, it receives a Not Available score for advertising transparency.
