GET
/v1/reddit/search/media

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.

10 credits per call.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

Authorization

apiKey

Query Parameters

query*string

Search phrase. Reddit's operators work here: subreddit:name terms scopes the sweep to one community, and quotes force an exact phrase.

sort?string

Sort by

Value in

  • "relevance"
  • "new"
  • "top"
  • "comment_count"
timeframe?string

Only return posts from this window. Applied on sort=relevance, sort=top and sort=comment_count. It has no effect with sort=new, which is already ordered newest-first.

Value in

  • "all"
  • "day"
  • "week"
  • "month"
  • "year"
cursor?string

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

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.

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"
