Step-by-step: Search Reddit comments by keyword · Sentiment analysis

GET
/v1/reddit/post/comments

Returns the full comment tree for a post, each comment with author, body, score, direct-reply count, nesting depth, timestamp, and its nested replies.

Use it when you want the whole discussion rather than only top-level comments. Read data.truncated: true means the thread is incomplete, so keep paging while a cursor comes back.

50 credits per call.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

Authorization

apiKey
x-api-key<token>

Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.

In: header

Query Parameters

url*string

Full URL of the Reddit post to fetch comments for

cursor?string

Cursor to get more comments, or replies.

trim?boolean

Accepted, but not honoured on this endpoint: the source that serves it does not offer a trimmed shape, so the response is the same either way. Kept because removing an accepted parameter would break existing calls.

dry_run?"1"

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.

Value in

  • "1"
since?string

Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following next_cursor, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept.

until?string

Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept.
