Supported content types
01
Sign up for free — no credit card required. Your API key is ready instantly in the dashboard.
02
Generate a branded connect link. Your users click it, authenticate with the platform, and the account appears in your dashboard.
03
One API call. Aether handles OAuth, rate limits, media hosting, and platform-specific formatting.
Aether posts via the official Reddit API on your behalf, but subreddit-specific rules (approved submitters, flair requirements, post type restrictions) still apply at the platform level. We return clear, actionable error messages when Reddit rejects a post.
Yes. Each Reddit account is a separate connected profile with its own profileId. You can post from multiple accounts independently — useful for community managers and agencies handling multiple clients.
Text posts, link posts, image posts, video posts, and polls. Gallery posts (multiple images) are also supported. Each type has its own required fields accessible via the platforms.reddit override object.
Reddit Data API costs are included in your Aether subscription. You do not have a separate billing relationship with Reddit — Aether handles that entirely.
Yes. Use the standard scheduledFor field. Note that some subreddits flag posts made at off-peak hours, so we recommend testing scheduling behavior in the specific subreddits you target.
Yes. Use postType: 'poll' in the platforms.reddit override with an options array (2–6 choices) and an optional duration in days. Polls must be text posts and cannot include media attachments.
