Overview

The WallStreetBets API gives you real-time sentiment data extracted from Reddit's r/WallStreetBets community, showing which stocks are being discussed and whether the mood is bullish or bearish. It requires no authentication, making it a quick way to add social sentiment signals to a finance app. The data is refreshed frequently so you can track trending tickers as discussions evolve.

Beginner Tip

Sentiment from Reddit is a social signal, not financial advice — combine it with price data or fundamentals before drawing conclusions.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

Empty data array The endpoint may be queried during a low-activity window when there are few recent posts.
Try again during US market hours (9 AM to 4 PM ET) when post volume is highest.
CORS error in browser The API may block direct browser requests from certain origins.
Route requests through a small server-side proxy instead of calling the API directly from client-side JavaScript.
404 Not Found Using an outdated endpoint path — the API dashboard URL has changed over time.
Check the official dashboard at https://dashboard.nbshare.io/apps/reddit/api/ for the current endpoint paths.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
