Get Reddit chat inbox
Input
limit optionalMaximum number of conversations to return, newest activity first. Omit for every conversation the chat client holds.
Output
me requiredThe signed-in account as chat identifies it, e.g. "@t2_29fgxvhi79:reddit.com" — the id `sent_by_me` compares senders against. Chat speaks account ids, not usernames; reddit.com/whoami names the account.
count requiredHow many conversations are returned (after `limit`).

Get Reddit thread
Fetch a Reddit thread by its id or URL: the post (title, text, author, score, upvote ratio, comment count, type, link) and its comments in thread order, each with author, text, score, date, permalink and nesting depth. Needs a browser signed in to Reddit. By default it returns the first page of comments Reddit shows when the thread opens; set all_comments to expand every "more replies" and get the whole tree. num_comments counts deleted and removed comments too, so the list can be shorter than that number even when it is complete. sort picks Reddit's own comment order (best, top, new, controversial, old, Q&A).
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.
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. The sort changes how relevant the results are: `top` orders Reddit's matches by score, and because Reddit matches loosely, a heavily upvoted post only tangentially related to the query can outrank the genuine matches. That is Reddit's own ranking, returned as-is. Use the default `relevance` sort when on-topic results matter, and treat a non-zero count under `top` as "Reddit returned something", not as proof the posts are about the 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.
