Get a Reddit User's Hidden Posts and Comments

The posts and comments a Reddit account has hidden. This is private data, Reddit only serves it to the account that owns it, so the request must carry that account's own session cookies (from POST /api/reddit/login) and :name must match the logged-in account. Querying it as any other account, or with no cookies, returns 403.

When to use this

Reach for this when you need to audit or restore what an account has hidden, confirming a hide action took effect, or syncing hidden state into an external tool. It cannot be used to see another Redditor's hidden items: Reddit never exposes that to anyone, including this API.

Mixed listing: posts AND comments

A Redditor can hide either a post or a comment, so the response is one ordered items array (the exact order Reddit itself returns, which the after cursor tracks) with each item tagged kind: "post" or kind: "comment". A post item has the same shape as /api/reddit/posts; a comment item has the same shape as /api/reddit/user/:name/comments.

Response Fields

When after comes back empty

An empty cursor means there is no next page to ask for. It does not always mean you have every item: Reddit often stops serving a busy listing long before it runs out. Paging r/all on 2026-08-14 stopped after 400 posts covering about a minute of a feed that plainly holds more.

The response tells you which happened. When after is null it also carries listing_status, which reads complete, truncated or unknown. Only complete means you have everything; treat the other two as a partial answer and widen your search rather than stopping. The full field list and what to do about each answer is in Pagination depth.
