Search Reddit Comments
Search for Reddit comments by keyword across all subreddits, or in one subreddit. Returns comment text, the comment, post and parent IDs, a link to the comment, a link for the parent post, subreddit, author, comment upvotes, and parent post engagement metrics. Supports fetching multiple pages in a single API call (billed per page). AutoModerator comments are filtered out, and comments are matched against your query text, so a page can return fewer results than the page size. The url field points at the parent post and can be an off-site link when the post links to another domain. upvotes is null when the comment score is hidden, and post_upvotes / post_comments are null when the parent post's metrics are unavailable.
Price: $0.003 per page. Free tier: 50 requests/month.
