Public Data-Use Documentation

Reddit Data API Use Case

How CampaignBench is requesting limited, read-only Reddit Data API access for internal editorial research across CampaignBench-owned content properties.

Current status

Request preparation

CampaignBench is seeking explicit written approval for a commercial internal-use workflow. Reddit Data API access is not active in production, and this page does not represent that access has been granted.

CampaignBench is an independent owner-operator business that publishes and maintains content across CampaignBench-owned websites. The requested workflow would use a limited set of public Reddit listing signals to identify recurring questions and topics worth covering for those audiences.

This is a commercial internal-use request because the resulting editorial work supports owned content properties that may participate in affiliate or other monetization programs. CampaignBench is disclosing that business context directly rather than presenting the workflow as personal, academic, or non-commercial use.

The requested workflow is read-only. It does not post, comment, vote, send messages, moderate communities, or take actions on behalf of Reddit users.

Requested data scope

Public listing signals

Post ID, title, subreddit, permalink, publication time, listing source, and public score or comment-count signals when those fields are available.

Minimum necessary access

The planned workflow does not require usernames, profiles, private messages, private or quarantined community content, deleted content, or off-platform identifiers.

Declared topic scope

The proposed pilot allowlist is limited to r/femalefashionadvice, r/SkincareAddiction, r/frugalfemalefashion, r/Scams, r/AgingParents, and r/Parenting.

Processing workflow

Scheduled retrieval

Activity

One scheduled daily run would make no more than three public hot-listing requests, capped at 20 posts per request, using only the exact approved subreddit allowlist and an identifying CampaignBench user agent.

Operational output

A limited candidate set for the day rather than bulk collection or a historical archive of Reddit content.

Relevance filtering

Activity

Public titles and limited listing metadata would be checked against the topic categories and quality rules for CampaignBench-owned sites.

Operational output

Off-topic, duplicate, low-signal, sensitive, or unsuitable candidates are excluded before editorial processing.

Original topic development

Activity

Selected signals may be processed by an internal automated editorial workflow to produce a new topic brief and an original article draft.

Operational output

The output is a new publisher-authored treatment of the general topic. Reddit posts are not republished, quoted by default, or presented as CampaignBench content.

Quality and publishing gates

Activity

Drafts pass configured originality, safety, duplication, and site-specific quality checks before they can be published.

Operational output

Original informational content for CampaignBench-owned properties, with no automated activity performed on Reddit.

Commercial context

  • This is a commercial internal-use workflow supporting editorial research for CampaignBench-owned content properties; it is not offered as a public Reddit analytics product.
  • CampaignBench understands that commercial access requires Reddit permission and may require a separate commercial agreement or paid access. CampaignBench is seeking Reddit’s direction and will not activate the workflow without those terms in place.
  • CampaignBench does not sell, license, redistribute, or provide customers with Reddit data or API access.
  • Reddit data is not used to build advertising audiences, target Redditors, profile individuals, or infer sensitive characteristics.

Data handling and retention

  • API credentials would be kept outside the public website and source repository and used only through Reddit-approved OAuth access.
  • The workflow includes a tested control that scrubs stored raw Reddit fields after a maximum of 30 days. Automatic enforcement remains staged while Reddit retrieval is disabled and will be enabled before any approved production access begins.
  • Before publishing this documentation, CampaignBench applied the retention control to the earlier prototype databases and scrubbed all 35 historical raw rows that exceeded the 30-day limit. A post-cleanup audit found no remaining overdue raw rows.
  • Derived editorial topic records may be retained for operational audit only when they do not reproduce Reddit post text or identify a Reddit user.
  • A tested source-removal control can immediately scrub a matching post ID or permalink, record a non-identifying deletion event, and prevent an unprocessed derived topic from entering the publishing workflow.
  • Limited public post information may be sent to a contracted AI service solely to create internal topic suggestions. CampaignBench does not use Reddit data to train a model.

Operating guardrails

  • No Reddit Data API use will begin without explicit written approval for the disclosed commercial workflow.
  • Access will remain read-only and limited to the fields, communities, volume, and purpose approved by Reddit.
  • The workflow will not scrape Reddit, mask its OAuth identity, rotate accounts to evade enforcement, or circumvent rate limits.
  • No usernames, user profiles, private communications, or sensitive-personal-data inference are part of the requested workflow.
  • No automated posting, commenting, voting, messaging, moderation, or account activity is included.
  • No Reddit data will be sold, licensed, redistributed, used for advertising audiences, or used to train machine-learning models.
  • CampaignBench will not imply a partnership with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from Reddit.
