# Get subreddit rules

`GET /v1/accounts/{accountId}/reddit-subreddits/{subreddit}/rules`

Returns a subreddit's posting rules plus Reddit's site-wide rules, so you can check
them before submitting and avoid a removal.

Use this alongside `POST /v1/tools/validate/subreddit`, which only confirms that a
subreddit exists and reports its basic posting settings.

## Path parameters
