GET/v1/users/{name}

A Reddit user's profile aggregate — karma, post/comment counts, first/last activity. Roughly Reddit's own /user/{name}/about. Exact username match, not prefix/fuzzy search.

A username with no matching account is still 1 credit — the lookup made a real upstream call either way — and comes back as a normal 200 with data.user: null rather than a 404. See Errors for what actually returns non-200.

That same null also covers a second case with no way to tell it apart from a nonexistent username in the response alone: a real, active account that has enabled Reddit's own profile privacy setting to hide its posts and comments. This endpoint reads from an archive of publicly visible Reddit content, so a fully-hidden profile has nothing to aggregate even though the account itself exists.

Param	Type	Default	Notes
name *	string (path)	—	3–64 chars, letters/digits/underscore/hyphen. A name with no matching account is still charged — see above.
