Get a Subreddit's Wiki Page (Markdown, HTML)

Fetch a subreddit's wiki page by name and page, the page's markdown and HTML content, a may-revise flag, and the last revision. Returns a single object.

GET/api/reddit/sub/:name/wiki/:page$0.002 / call

A subreddit's wiki page (Reddit's /r/<name>/wiki/<page> data): the page's markdown and HTML content, a may-revise flag, and the last revision's metadata. Returns a single object, not a list. The page may be multi-segment, for example index, rules, or config/sidebar.

When to use this

Use it to read a community's wiki programmatically: its rules page, its FAQ, or a config page like config/sidebar. You get both the raw markdown (content_md) and the rendered HTML (content_html), plus who last revised the page and when. One read.

Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	Yes	Subreddit name (no `r/` prefix)
`page`	string	Yes	Wiki page name (e.g. `index`, `rules`). May be multi-segment like `config/sidebar`

A subreddit or wiki page that does not exist returns 404.
