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.

Search Reddit

Search posts across all of Reddit (no subreddit restriction), with optional sort and time window. Returns count and threads (each with id, url, title, author, subreddit, score, num_comments, created, nsfw, preview_text). `limit` is a maximum: fewer matching posts than requested returns however many exist. Useful to discover which subreddits discuss a topic. Reddit refuses connections from datacenter addresses, so this works as-is on your own browser; on a hosted cloud browser the session has to be given a country so it exits through a residential address, otherwise Reddit blocks it and the script says so.

Get subreddit threads

List a subreddit's threads by Reddit's native sort (best/hot/new/top/rising). "new" is chronological (filter with `since`); "top" takes a `time` window (hour…all); others paginate by `limit`. Returns url, title, author, score, num_comments, created, post_type, and body — the post's full text (never truncated; null for link/image posts). `limit` is a maximum, not a guarantee: fewer matching threads returns what exists.
