/v1/reddit/omni-search

Returns threads from across Reddit for one keyword with their top comments inline at top_comments, plus a roll-up of which subreddits are talking, their weekly active users and tone.

Beta. The source's own structure under our naming rules (snake_case keys, string ids, ISO times where the source gives a timestamp), not one of the schema-2 entities. Fields may change. See Schema 2.

Use it for a customer-listening sweep in one call rather than running search then post/comments per thread; it is slow and relevance is loose.

Metered: 50–90 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

x-api-key<token>

Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.
