Get Reddit thread

Automatically get Reddit thread on reddit.com. 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).

Input

id optional

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

url optional

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

sort optional

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

urls optional

Not supported since 19 Oct 2026: the run fails with a message saying so. Send one id or url per call and fan out with run_script's scripts.

all_comments optional

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

Output

id optional

Reddit fullname, e.g. t3_1ldvy4n

score optional

Null while Reddit hides the post's score.

title optional
author optional
domain optional
created optional
op_text optional
comments optional
complete optional

True when every comment of the thread is in comments: no 'more replies' loader was left unexpanded. Pass all_comments to expand them.

permalink optional
post_type optional
subreddit optional
content_href optional

Submission target: external link for link posts, the thread url for self posts

num_comments optional

Reddit's total comment count; compare with comments.length to detect on-load truncation

upvote_ratio optional

You do not need one. "Get Reddit thread" drives the real reddit.com pages in a browser, so it works whether or not reddit.com offers an API for this.
Optional: id, url, sort, urls, all_comments.
It returns id, score, title, author, domain, created, op_text, comments, complete, permalink, post_type, subreddit, content_href, num_comments, upvote_ratio.
Yes. It acts as you on reddit.com: on your own Chrome it reuses your session, and on a Reduck-hosted browser it loads the reddit.com cookies saved by the Reduck extension.
It only reads. It looks things up on reddit.com and changes nothing there.

Get Reddit 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, with Reddit's own sort and time window. Returns count and threads (id, url, title, author, subreddit, score, num_comments, created, nsfw, preview_text) in the order Reddit lists them. `limit` is a maximum: fewer matching posts return what exists, and no match returns count 0. Reddit matches loosely, so under the `top` sort a heavily upvoted post only loosely related to the query can come before closer matches; use the default `relevance` sort when on-topic results matter.

Get Reddit subreddit info

Fetch a subreddit's metadata: title, description, created date, weekly visitors and contributions, its type (public, restricted…), every rule (title and body), and its full moderator list with each moderator's permissions and join date. A banned or private subreddit returns its status and nothing else; an unknown name throws. The moderator list is null when Reddit does not show it to the browser's session.
