Notes

• Only posts with direct media links are extracted. Gallery posts, external links, and text-only posts are skipped.
• Reddit's public JSON endpoints return up to 100 posts per listing page. For subreddits with fewer media posts, the actual count may be lower than maxItems.
• Private or quarantined subreddits will return an error in the output.
