Scrapes Reddit posts from any subreddit or search query. Uses Reddit's JSON endpoints via old.reddit.com, so it's fast and doesn't need login.

What it does

  • Scrape posts from one or more subreddits
  • Search Reddit globally by keyword
  • Sort by hot, new, top, or rising
  • Returns post title, author, score, comments count, text, and metadata

Input example

{
"subreddits": ["technology", "programming"],
"searchQuery": "AI tools",
"maxPosts": 50,
"sort": "hot"
}

You can provide subreddits, a search query, or both.
