Set Reddit post flair
Automatically set Reddit post flair on reddit.com. Set or remove the flair on your own Reddit post, by its URL. Picks a matching flair template from the subreddit's own list (filtered by name) and, if the template allows custom text, sets that text; passing an empty flairText removes any existing flair. Returns the flair actually applied, read back from the post. Fails loudly if the subreddit has flair disabled for posts, or if no template matches the requested name.
Input
postUrl requiredURL of the Reddit post to flair (yours, or one you moderate)
flairText optionalFlair text to apply, matched against the subreddit's flair templates. Omit or pass an empty string to remove the post's current flair.
Output
applied requiredpostUrl requiredflairText optionalverifiedFlair optionalThe flair text read back from the post after applying, or null if no flair is set
FAQ
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.
