Find rising Reddit posts before a simple top-score sort would surface them. This Actor queries public Reddit data first, falls back to a public archive when needed, calculates engagement velocity and an age-adjusted trend score, and returns a ranked dataset—without a Reddit API key or login.

What you can do

  • Discover fast-growing discussions for content and newsletter research.
  • Monitor topics inside selected subreddits.
  • Rank posts by momentum instead of lifetime score.
  • Export clean JSON, CSV, or Excel rows; schedule runs and connect webhooks.

Start quickly

Start with 10–20 posts and a 72–168 hour window. Add subreddit names without r/; leave subreddits empty to search across available sources.

{
"queries": [
"artificial intelligence"
],
"subreddits": [
"technology"
],
"lookbackHours": 168,
"maxPosts": 10,
"maxItems": 10
}
  1. Enter one or more phrases in queries.
  2. Optionally narrow the search with subreddits.
  3. Set lookbackHours and the hard caps maxPosts / maxItems.
  4. Run the Actor, then export or schedule the dataset.

How ranking works

The Actor sorts posts by trendScore = (score + commentsCount × 2) / (ageHours + 2)^0.8. Comments receive extra weight and age normalization prevents older posts from dominating. velocityPerHour shows raw score-plus-comment momentum per hour; trendRank is the final position.

Output

Every paid result is one unique post with trendRank, trendScore, velocityPerHour, title, subreddit, score, comment count, age, source URL, creation time, and scrape time. The run summary records partial source failures instead of silently hiding them.

Troubleshooting

  • No results: broaden lookbackHours, remove a narrow subreddit filter, or try a shorter keyword.
  • Very recent post missing: source indexing can lag; rerun later or use a longer window.
  • Need comments, not trend ranking: use Reddit Search & Comments.
  • Need search-demand ideas: use Google Autocomplete Keywords.
