Get a Reddit User's Achievements (Trophies) by Username

List the achievements shown on a Reddit user's public achievements page, with the name, description, icons, and grant date of each. Returns an empty list for accounts that have none.

GET/api/reddit/user/:name/achievements$0.0015 / call

The achievements on a user's public profile: One-Year Club, Verified Email, moderator and event awards, and the rest of the set Reddit displays at reddit.com/user/<name>/achievements.

Reddit's own API still calls these trophies, which is the older name for the same thing. This endpoint returns them under achievements because that is what the site shows a reader today, and both names refer to one list.

Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	Yes	Reddit username, without the `u/` prefix

Response

Field	Type	Description
`name`	string	The username you asked for
`count`	number	Number of achievements returned
`achievements`	array	One entry per achievement, in the order Reddit returns them

Each entry carries:

Field	Type	Description
`name`	string \| null	Achievement name, e.g. `One-Year Club`
`description`	string \| null	Reddit's caption. See the note below
`granted_utc`	number \| null	Unix seconds when it was granted, when Reddit records one
`granted`	string \| null	The same moment as an ISO 8601 timestamp
`award_id`	string \| null	Reddit's identifier for the award type
`id`	string \| null	Identifier for this user's instance of the award
`url`	string \| null	Link Reddit associates with the achievement
`icon_40`, `icon_70`	string \| null	Icon URLs at 40px and 70px

An empty list is a real answer

An account with no achievements returns count: 0 and an empty array, not an error. A new account typically has none until it earns Verified Email.

`description` is not always a description

Reddit reuses this field for two unrelated things depending on the award: a caption such as Top 20%, or a date string such as 2021-03-24. It is passed through exactly as Reddit sends it rather than parsed, because guessing which of the two you are holding is how a caption turns into a wrong timestamp. Read granted_utc when you want the grant time.

`granted_utc` is missing on some achievements

Several real achievements carry no grant timestamp at all, including some event awards. Those come back with granted_utc and granted set to null rather than zero, so treat the field as optional.
