Reddit API for AI agents: search posts, read threads and comments

Your agent needs to know what people say on Reddit about a product, a problem or a brand. Registering an app and handling OAuth and rate limits is work your agent cannot do for you, and running a scraper means proxies and fixes. You want one call per question, priced before it runs.

reddit.search.posts returns one row per post with query, post_id, title, body, author, subreddit, score, upvote_ratio, num_comments, created_at, post_url and external_url. reddit.post.comments rows carry comment_id, text, author, score, created_at, permalink and parent_id, so your agent can rebuild the thread. reddit.user.profile returns username, total_karma, link_karma, comment_karma, description, verified and created_at. Every row keeps its provider and when it was collected.

These tasks read public posts, comments and profiles. Private subreddits, direct messages and anything behind a login are not available, and a removed post returns nothing. Posts and usernames are personal data: use them for research or product work, quote with a link, and follow the GDPR and similar rules where they apply.
