Reddit Scraper - Monitoring, Signals & Attention Queue
Pricing
Pay per usage
Scrapes Reddit and returns a ranked attention queue: brand monitoring, mention tracking, sentiment analysis, and breakout detection in one run. Drop-in compatible with existing Reddit scraper workflows. $0.002 per record.
Entry point. 'monitor' is the hero: paste a brand/keyword and get a ranked attention queue of what changed. 'communities' ranks subreddits by what's heating up. 'posts' explains why each thread matters. 'users' surfaces author momentum. 'search' reranks search results by breakout potential. Leave fields below empty to use the monitor demo (tracks 'Notion').
Monitor mode: brand names or keywords to track across Reddit. The actor returns the threads that need attention right now, ranked. Example: ["Notion", "Obsidian"].

[ "Notion"]Communities to scan or monitor. Accepts 'r/Notion', 'Notion', or a full subreddit URL. Used by communities and monitor modes.
[]Posts mode: Reddit post permalinks to analyse. Each result carries whyThisMatters plus comment-theme synthesis when comments are sampled.
[]Users mode: Reddit usernames or profile URLs to analyse for posting/karma momentum.
[]Search mode: a keyword/phrase. Results are reranked by the rankBy axis (breakout potential, momentum, or attention) rather than Reddit's native sort.
Search mode: what to search for.
How to order results in the attention queue. 'attention' uses the composite attentionIndex. 'breakoutPotential' surfaces posts popping vs their community baseline. 'momentum' surfaces accelerating trajectories.
Name this watchlist to unlock delta intelligence. State is stored in a named key-value store ('reddit-monitor-') and accumulates across runs: what changed since last run, momentum trajectory, recurrence, and topic memory. Leave empty for a one-shot run with no persistence.
Window for run-over-run change detection in monitor/watchlist mode.
Reshapes materiality weights and escalation thresholds. 'brand-monitoring' weights mentions + sentiment. 'pr-comms' escalates sentiment shifts. 'trend-research' escalates topic surges and community acceleration. Orthogonal to mode and rankBy.
Sample comments per post and run deterministic theme + sentiment synthesis (lexicon-tfidf-v1, no external LLM). Required for sentiment shift detection.
Hard cap on records emitted. Reddit lists cap at ~1,000 items platform-wide; use monitor mode with scheduled daily runs to capture beyond the cap incrementally.
Per-community post cap for communities/monitor modes.
Users mode: how many recent posts/comments to pull per user.
'signals' (default) adds the full intelligence layer on top of the substrate. 'compat' returns the exact drop-in field set with no signal fields. 'agent' returns a compact decision surface for MCP/AI/RAG consumers. 'minimal' returns IDs and URLs only.
Trades coverage/runtime. 'fast' is shallow, 'deep' scans more. 'standard' is the balanced default.
Verbosity control. 'full' keeps all evidence, suppressed-signal, and score-breakdown blocks. 'standard' trims to the decision surface.
Time window for top/search sorts.
Include over-18 communities/posts in results.
Hard runtime budget. The actor stops fetching cleanly when reached and still emits partial results plus a summary, so you never get a hard-killed empty run. Auto-clamped against the platform timeout to reserve emit time.
Drop-in compatibility alias. Paste post/user/community URLs from your existing Reddit-scraper workflow and they are mapped to the modes above automatically.
[]Drop-in compatibility alias for keyword search. Mapped to search mode.
[]Drop-in compatibility alias: restrict search to one community.
Comments sampled per post
commentsSamplePerPost
Optional
How many comments to sample per post for theme + sentiment synthesis. Higher samples raise the sentiment confidence band.
