## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| subreddit | not declared | yes | not declared | Specifies the target subreddit for `subreddit_posts`, such as `python` or a full subreddit URL. For subreddit names that start with `r`, pass the full `/r/subreddit/` URL and check the result. |
| date_range | enum: all_time / past_day / past_hour / past_month / past_week / past_year | no | not declared | Filters posts by time range for subreddit and user listings. Allowed values are `all_time`, `past_hour`, `past_day`, `past_week`, `past_month`, and `past_year`. Whether filtering applies depends on the result set when using fixed post URLs or unsupported sort orders. This cannot be used to filter comments by date. |
| sort | enum: newest / popular / relevance / rising / top | no | not declared | Orders Reddit post listings by `newest`, `popular`, `relevance`, `rising`, or `top`. The `post_detail` and `comments` actions do not accept `sort`. |
| limit | integer (1–100) | no | 10 | The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 100. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| id | The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
| url | Link to the record on the platform. |
| title | Title. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts). |
| text | Body 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_username | Author's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs. |
| community | platform-native meaning |
| like_count | Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0. |
| comment_count | Comments. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
| posted_at | Publish 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. |
| flair | platform-native meaning |
| domain | platform-native meaning |
| external_link | platform-native meaning |
| thumbnail_url | Thumbnail link, lower resolution than image_url. |
| image_urls | Array of image links in the platform's display order; absent when there are no images. |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |

## Response example
