Reddit Data API Phase 1

Neon Lumen Studio Reddit Responsible Builder Review Flow

This page documents the Phase 1 Reddit Data API posture for Neon Lumen Studio: account identity verification and read-only subreddit rules review. API posting, commenting, voting, moderation actions, ads use, profiling, scraping, and data resale are not part of this phase.

  • Product: Reddit Data API

  • Write scope: not requested
  • Posting/commenting: disabled

Phase 1 scope

Identity verification

The connected operator verifies the authorized Reddit account using official OAuth. Tokens and credentials are stored server-side and are never shown in public pages, logs, demos, or reviewer evidence.

Read-only rules review

The app reads subreddit metadata and rules so drafts can be checked before any human decides what to do outside Reddit. The API is not used to submit posts, comments, votes, reports, messages, or moderation actions.

Local guardrails

Neon Lumen Studio runs a no-network local self-test before reviewer packets are attached. The test confirms only identity and read are requested, write endpoints are blocked by default, and promotional link posting paths refuse to run.

  • Requested scopes: identity, read
  • Not requested: submit, vote, messages, moderation, history, save, subscribe
  • Default write env gate: REDDIT_ENABLE_SUBMIT=false
  • Default advanced API gate: REDDIT_ENABLE_ADVANCED_API=false
  • Default promotional link gate: REDDIT_ALLOW_LINK_POSTS=false

Reviewer use case

Allowed

Verify the account owner, read public subreddit rules, and prepare internal compliance notes for owner review.

Not allowed

Publish to Reddit through the API, automate engagement, harvest traffic, target ads, train models on Reddit data, sell Reddit data, or bypass subreddit rules.
