Overview

GoGlobal uses the official Reddit OAuth 2.0 API to interact with Reddit on your behalf. All API calls are made using your authorized access token, which means actions appear as coming from your account — not a bot account.

2

Permissions Requested

During the OAuth flow, GoGlobal requests the following Reddit permission scopes:

  1. 1identity — read your username and karma
  2. 2submit — create new posts and comments
  3. 3read — read posts and comments in subreddits
  4. 4history — read your post and comment history
  5. 5account — read basic account information

GoGlobal never requests the 'modconfig', 'modflair', or 'modposts' scopes. We cannot modify subreddit settings or moderate content on your behalf.

Rate Limits

Reddit enforces a rate limit of 100 requests per minute per OAuth client. GoGlobal queues all API calls and distributes them evenly to stay within this limit. If you have multiple campaigns running simultaneously, posts are staggered automatically to avoid rate-limit errors.

4

Token Refresh

Reddit access tokens expire after 1 hour. GoGlobal automatically refreshes your token in the background using the stored refresh token. You will only need to re-authorize if you manually revoke access from your Reddit account settings or if the refresh token expires after 90 days of inactivity.
