Search Reddit posts from the past month by keyword, with subreddit, author, text and like and comment counts, sorted by relevance unless sort says otherwise. Comment text is not searched, and older history is not guaranteed.

Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to reddit and action set to search. Price $0.79 per 1,000 requests ($0.000792 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Reddit Search endpoint (reddit/search).

How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to reddit and action to search, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - keyword: Specifies the post search query for search. Does not search full comment text. Defaults to relevance sorting; the time window is fixed to the past month.
- Optional parameters:
  - sort: Orders Reddit post listings by newest, popular, relevance, rising, or top. The post_detail and comments actions do not accept sort. (allowed: controversial / newest / popular / relevance / rising / top)
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 25. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values are accepted and capped at the maximum. (default: 10)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: id, url, title, text, author_username, community, like_count, comment_count, posted_at, flair, domain, external_link; 14 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=reddit.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "reddit",
  "action": "search",
  "params": {
    "keyword": "mechanical keyboard"
  }
}
- Price: $0.79 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Request parameters

NameInTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
AuthorizationheaderstringYes-Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository.
platformbodystringYesredditPlatform identifier, fixed value.
actionbodystringYessearchCapability identifier, fixed value.
keywordbody.paramsstringYes-Specifies the post search query for search. Does not search full comment text. Defaults to relevance sorting; the time window is fixed to the past month. Only posts that match the query are returned: a query word appears in the title or community name and the post contains the query's words, or the words appear close together in the body (queries of three or more words need at least three quarters of them). Posts that share only one word are dropped, so you may get fewer than limit; if none match, the call is refunded as an empty result.
sortbody.paramsstring (enum)No-Orders Reddit post listings by newest, popular, relevance, rising, or top. The post_detail and comments actions do not accept sort.Allowed valuescontroversialnewestpopularrelevancerisingtop

Response fields

#

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

FieldMeaning
idThe record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
urlLink to the record on the platform.
titleTitle. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts).
textBody text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so).
author_usernameAuthor's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs.
communityKeeps the platform's own meaning
like_countLikes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0.
comment_countComments. null means not disclosed, not 0.
posted_atPublish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it.
flairKeeps the platform's own meaning
domainKeeps the platform's own meaning
external_linkKeeps the platform's own meaning
thumbnail_urlThumbnail link, lower resolution than image_url.
image_urlsArray of image links in the platform's display order; absent when there are no images.
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

  • Reddit: Differences Among Relevance, Hot, Top, and New ↗

    Official Reddit documentation separates Hot (recent interactions) from Top (all-time high votes). On this page, popular corresponds to Hot, not Top; additional sorting and time filters on the official website do not imply that this endpoint supports those same parameters or combinations.
