Reddit search API 6 credits

Search all of Reddit by keyword through one endpoint. type picks the target: posts (default), comments (what people actually say, see the Reddit comments API), subreddits, or users. Posts sort by relevance, top, new, hot, or comment count, with a time range from past hour to all time.

Each page costs 6 credits. Result depth per query is capped upstream around a few hundred results, so decompose broad topics into several narrower queries rather than paging one giant one.

tools/call

{
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {

    "arguments": {
      "query": "best crm for freelancers",
      "type": "posts"
    }
  }
}

Parameters#

Param	Required	Type	Description
`query`	yes	`string`	Free-text keywords, e.g. 'self hosted photo backup'. Not a URL; use reddit_resolve_url for URLs.
`type`	no	`string`	What to search. 'comments' finds mentions inside discussions; 'subreddits' finds communities.
`sort`	no	`string`	posts: any value; comments: relevance\|top\|new; invalid for subreddits and users.
`range`	no	`string`	Time window. posts only.
`cursor`	no	`string`	Cursor from a previous page.
`freshness`	no	`string`	recent (default) serves cached data from the last few hours when available; realtime forces a live fetch for +2 credits (refunded if we fall back to cached data). Trial keys are cached-only and reject realtime with TRIAL_CAP_EXCEEDED; paying upgrades this same key to unlock it.
`max_credits`	no	`integer`	Spend ceiling for this one call. The call is rejected (nothing charged) if its quote exceeds this. Only the quote is ever reserved, never this ceiling.

Returns a reddit_search envelope. Full field list: /docs/fields#reddit_search.

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#

Does the time range work on comments?

No: range applies to posts only (INVALID_INPUT elsewhere). Comments sort by relevance, top, or new; filter created_at client-side.

How do I read a result's full discussion?

Take the post's t3_ id to the Reddit thread API with detail=full for the whole comment tree.

How deep can I paginate?

Follow the cursor; each page is a new 6 credits call, and depth per query caps upstream around a few hundred results.
