Reddit comments API 6 credits

Post titles ask questions; comments hold the answers, the recommendations, the complaints. Comment-level search, type=comments, reaches inside discussions, and every result is the raw comment text with author, score, and timestamp, so your own model does the scoring instead of trusting a canned sentiment label.

Each search page costs 6 credits. When one comment is worth its context, reddit_get_post fetches it inside its thread, or the whole discussion tree with detail=full.

Pricing#

reddit_search costs 6 credits base per call (surcharges for optional sections, cursor pages, and batches are in the full reference). Every key starts with a free budget of 200 credits per IP per day, no account, no card; past that, credits are $2.00 per 1,000 with no subscription required.

FAQ#

Is a sentiment score included?

No, deliberately: raw text plus engagement numbers, scored by your own pipeline.

Can I time-window a comment search?

Server-side windows apply to post search only; sort comments by new and filter created_at client-side.

How do I fetch one comment with its thread?

Pass its t1_ id as comment_id to reddit_get_post (4 credits on top of the base call).
