GET
/v1/reddit/search/comments

Returns comments matching a phrase from Reddit's comment index, each with its parent post inline: ext.post_title, ext.subreddit, ext.post_score and ext.post_url.

Use it when the phrase lives in a reply rather than a title, and for author:username or subreddit:name sweeps. parent_id is null: the platform does not report thread position.

Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free.

Paginates by cursor — see Pagination.

Query Parameters

query*string

Search phrase. Reddit's operators work here: author:username for one account's comments, subreddit:name terms to scope to a community, and quotes for an exact phrase.

sort?string

Sort order for the comment hits.

Value in

  • "relevance"
  • "top"
  • "new"
cursor?string

Cursor to get more results. Get 'cursor' from the previous response.

switch_from?string

Optional brand. data.switch_receipts lists comments where the author says they personally left that brand, with the verbatim text, the reason, where they went, and a link. There is no percentage. A comment that is not a switch, or that is not confident, is left out. No extra credits.

Profile GET

Returns one Reddit account: total karma, the post/comment/award karma split, cake day, bio, avatar, banner, trophy count and profile title. Use it to size or vet an account before reading its posts. author.followers is null on purpose: Reddit publishes no public follower count, so karma is the reach signal. **20 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 24h is free.

Search › Media GET

Returns up to 25 Reddit posts that carry an image, video or gallery, with the media at content.media_urls plus title, score, comment count and subreddit. Use it for visual posts on a topic without filtering a mixed page yourself. subreddit:name terms scopes it to one community; timeframe has no effect on sort=new. **20 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).
