Reddit Search API - Posts, Comments, Subreddits, Users

Search Reddit, read a post with its threaded comment tree, expand comment replies, and pull subreddit metadata and feeds, redditor profiles with their posts and comments, the site-wide popular feed, and trending search queries. All endpoints return structured JSON.

When to trigger

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• Search Reddit for opinions, discussions, or public sentiment on a topic
• Fetch the full text and comments of a Reddit post by id or URL
• Expand the reply tree under a specific comment
• Look up a subreddit's metadata or browse its post feed
• Look up a redditor and read their submitted posts or comments
• Browse the site-wide popular feed or current trending searches
• Research how developers or communities talk about a product, library, or issue
• Build RAG pipelines that need discussion-sourced context
• Monitor brand or competitor mentions across Reddit

Note: Reddit requests take 5-15 seconds. Set a client timeout of at least 30 seconds.
