POST /api/v1/vault/store

Store your Reddit credentials in the Token Vault. Two modes:

• Bearer mode — provide bearer + proxy. The bearer is stored as-is and expires in ~24h; you must rotate it manually.

• Session mode (recommended) — provide session + proxy. The session is converted to a fresh bearer and kept refreshed automatically until the session itself expires (typically ~6 months). Hand over the session once, forget about token rotation.

Either bearer OR session is required; proxy is always required. The proxy must be the same external IP where the bearer/session was originally created — Reddit binds sessions to their originating IP and will silently return an anonymous bearer if the IP differs.

Fails with 400 if a token already exists for your account — use PUT /api/v1/vault/update to replace it, or DELETE /api/v1/vault/clear to remove it first.

Query parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
proxystringYesProxy in host:port:user:pass format. Must match the IP the bearer/session was created on.
bearerstringNoReddit bearer token (token_v2). Required if session is not provided.
sessionstringNoReddit reddit_session cookie JWT. When provided, enables auto-refresh — a fresh bearer is derived immediately and kept current until the session expires. Takes precedence over bearer if both are sent.
