```http
GET | POST /v1/reddit/profiles
```

Send parameters as a query string with `GET`, or as a JSON body with `POST`. Both are equivalent.

## What to Pass

| Pass | Reads | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `query` | A user search |  |

Pass one source per call. Every identifier also takes the page URL.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `cursor` | string |  | Opaque cursor from the previous page's `cursor`. Pass it alone for the next page. |
| `limit` | integer 1–100 |  | Items per page, 1–100. |
| `query` | string |  | Keywords to search accounts for. |

## Request

```bash tab="cURL"
curl "https://gateway.apinoa.com/v1/reddit/profiles?query=python&limit=3" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APINOA_API_KEY"
```

```js tab="JavaScript"
const params = new URLSearchParams({ query: "python", limit: "3" });
const res = await fetch(`https://gateway.apinoa.com/v1/reddit/profiles?${params}`, {
  headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APINOA_API_KEY },
});
const { success, data, error } = await res.json();
```

```python tab="Python"
import os

import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://gateway.apinoa.com/v1/reddit/profiles",
    params={"query": "python", "limit": "3"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APINOA_API_KEY"]},
)
body = res.json()
```

## Response

Returns [`Page`](/docs/api-reference/sns/response-schema#page) of [`Account`](/docs/api-reference/sns/response-schema#account) in `data`. A real response, shortened: arrays keep their first entries and long text is cut.
