# Get Reddit subreddit info

Automatically get Reddit subreddit info on reddit.com. Fetch a subreddit's metadata: title, description, created date, weekly visitors and contributions, its type (public, restricted…), every rule (title and body), and its full moderator list with each moderator's permissions and join date. A banned or private subreddit returns its status and nothing else; an unknown name throws. The moderator list is null when Reddit does not show it to the browser's session.
