TL;DR

This guide details how to integrate a customizable and low-overhead Reddit feed into a website using basic jQuery functionality and the Reddit API.

  • The process involves structuring the API call by appending .json to a sub-reddit's URL to retrieve data.
  • JSON data is loaded using jQuery's getJSON function, which simplifies handling the required JSONP endpoint structure.
  • The returned data is a JavaScript object that must be iterated through to extract specific post elements like the title and author.
  • The code can be modified to control which sub-reddit is displayed and the number of posts loaded.
