Search Reddit by keyword — across all of Reddit or inside a single subreddit — and get back clean, structured posts. Sort by relevance, top, new, hot, or most comments over any time window.
Reddit hard-blocks the anonymous JSON API and rate-limits IPs aggressively, which is why so many Reddit scrapers return empty or fail half their runs. This one defaults to Reddit's RSS endpoints (different infrastructure, resilient by design — no proxy needed), so runs actually finish. Add a free Reddit app and it switches to the authenticated API for full scores, comment counts, deep pagination, and comments. A proxy is optional: enable one (residential recommended, a fresh IP is rotated per attempt) only if you hit IP rate limits or run the authenticated path at high volume.
Input
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
query | Keywords. Supports operators like title:, author:, and quoted phrases. |
subreddit | Optional — restrict the search to one subreddit. |
sort | relevance / hot / top / new / most-comments. |
time | hour … all (applies to relevance/top/comments). |
maxItems | Keyless RSS returns ~25; with Reddit app creds it paginates to this many. |
includeComments | Top comments per post (needs Reddit app creds). |
redditClientId / redditClientSecret | Optional free script app from reddit.com/prefs/apps for richer data. |
Output
One row per post. Each row also carries ok: true and a source field (rss or oauth) showing which data path produced it.
Always populated (both paths): title, author, subreddit, url, permalink, selftext, createdAt, isSelf, over18.
Keyless RSS (the default) leaves these null: score, numComments, upvoteRatio, flair, thumbnail, domain. Reddit's RSS feed simply doesn't expose them. Add a free Reddit app (see below) to get every field populated, plus deep pagination and comments.
Searches with no matches return a single ok: false diagnostic row and are not charged. Blocked/error runs likewise push an ok: false diagnostic row (with an errorCode) and are never charged.
Keyless vs authenticated
Keyless (default) is reliable but RSS only exposes ~25 newest-matching posts and leaves score/numComments null. For full metrics, deep pagination, and comments, drop in a free Reddit script app — takes two minutes to create and it's yours, kept private.
