Reddit Data API use case

Fast Post uses Reddit as a user-directed, read-only source for public discussions.

Fast Post is a Telegram Mini App for channel owners and editors who monitor public sources and prepare human-edited Telegram posts. Reddit is planned as an optional source alongside X/Twitter, RSS, and media websites. The Reddit integration is designed for source monitoring and attribution, not data resale, model training, automated posting, or bulk data collection.

Product purpose

A Fast Post user will be able to add specific public subreddits to their own source list. The app will display a normalized feed of public posts from those communities so the user can identify relevant topics for their Telegram channel. If the user opens a Reddit item, Fast Post may load the related discussion comments on demand. Every Reddit item shown in the product will include attribution and a link back to the original Reddit post or discussion.

User-selected sources Users choose which public subreddits they want to monitor.

Read-only access Fast Post does not vote, comment, message users, moderate communities, or post to Reddit.

Original links Reddit attribution and links back to Reddit stay visible in the user workflow.

API access pattern

Fast Post will access Reddit through the official Reddit Data API using OAuth credentials stored server-side.
The app will identify itself with a clear, unique User-Agent for the Fast Post source reader.
Feed refreshes will be conservative and will respect Reddit API rate-limit headers and backoff behavior.
Comment trees will be loaded only when a user opens a discussion, not preloaded for every feed item.
The intended production integration uses the Reddit Data API as the source of truth, not HTML scraping as the primary path.

Data handling commitments

Temporary caching Reddit API responses may be cached for short periods only to reduce duplicate requests and improve app performance.

No standalone dataset Reddit content is not sold, licensed, redistributed, or exposed as a separate dataset or API.

No model training Reddit data is not used by Fast Post to train, fine-tune, or build machine learning models.

If a future user-initiated drafting flow uses a selected Reddit item as context for a Telegram post draft, that use is limited to generating an editable draft for that user. It is not bulk ingestion, resale, training, fine-tuning, or dataset creation.

Content scope and limits

Fast Post is intended to read public subreddit posts and public discussion comments selected through the app workflow.
Deleted, removed, unavailable, or restricted Reddit content will not be intentionally preserved.
Low-signal, duplicate, NSFW, deleted, removed, or off-topic items may be filtered from the app feed.
The product does not attempt to reconstruct private, deleted, removed, or otherwise unavailable Reddit content.
Users can open the original Reddit discussion directly from Fast Post.

Commercial context

Fast Post may become a paid productivity tool for Telegram channel owners, but Reddit data is not the product being sold. Reddit is one optional source in a broader editorial workflow that includes source monitoring, translation, topic selection, and user-edited Telegram post preparation. The app is not a Reddit-native bot and does not automate activity on Reddit.
