Endpoint Playground
Returns public metadata and sample posts for a subreddit. Subscriber counts, icons, and banners are omitted because they are not available on anonymous Reddit pages. A `503` with a `Retry-After` header means Reddit is temporarily throttling the request; wait that many seconds and retry. If source.type is redlib, public fields and credit weights are preserved.
