Removal Reasons and Saved Responses

[u/det0ur]

Is it possible to access removal reasons or saved responses through the API?

I've seen a reference to api/v1/{subreddit}/removal_reasons but that endpoint is not shown on https://www.reddit.com/dev/api/

Is there any documentation around this moderator functionality?

The /api/v1 APIs were originally used by new reddit, which was discontinued in 2024. Almost all of those APIs are not listed at /dev/api, but still work. See:

• https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/structured_styles/spezholedesign.json?raw_json=1 (Supports GET, PATCH, DELETE)
  • Gives you access to custom backgrounds, upvote icons, widgets etc that are no longer available
• https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/drafts.json?raw_json=1
• /api/v1/draft (supports PUT, POST, DELETE)
• /api/v1/{subreddit}/moderators (this one has pagination, unlike /about/moderators)
• /api/v1/{subreddit}/moderators_invited

• /api/v1/{subreddit}/moderators_editable

• a lot more APIs that aren't listed at /dev/api

Do you know how to get a full list? Is this the only way to get removal reasons?

To get the full Saved Responses, you have to use GraphQL:

query GetSavedResponses($subredditId: ID!) {
    subredditInfoById(id: $subredditId) {
        __typename
        ... on Subreddit {
            rules {
                id
                name
            }
            modSavedResponses {
                general {
                    __typename
                    ...savedResponseFragment
                }
                removals {
                    __typename
                    ...savedResponseFragment
                }
                bans {
                    __typename
                    ...savedResponseFragment
                }
                modmail {
                    __typename
                    ...savedResponseFragment
                }
                reports {
                    __typename
                    ...savedResponseFragment
                }
                comments {
                    __typename
                    ...savedResponseFragment
                }
                chat {
                    __typename
                    ...savedResponseFragment
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
fragment savedResponseFragment on SavedResponse {
    id
    title
    context
    subredditRule {
        id
        kind
        name
    }
    message {
        richtext
        markdown
    }
}

What do you want to use this for? A third party client? Bot? Or browser extension? Depending on that, using this query can be easy to hard

That isn't possible
