Get Reddit thread

Fetch a full Reddit thread from its URL. Returns title, op_text, score, num_comments, and comments (author, body, score, nesting depth). Compare num_comments to total_comments to detect truncation; use all_comments to expand every "more replies" thread automatically.

Input

id optional

Post base36 id from the permalink (e.g. "1ldvy4n"), the part after /comments/. Pass this OR url.

url optional

Thread URL (full https://www.reddit.com/r/.../comments/... or the /r/.../comments/... path). Pass this OR id.

sort optional

Comment sort via Reddit's ?sort= ("confidence" = Best). Default: Reddit's Best.

all_comments optional

Expand every "more replies" loader for the full tree (slower on big threads). Default: only comments rendered on load.
