Search Reddit posts, comments, subreddits, or users

Search all of Reddit by keywords. type picks the target: posts (default), comments (what people actually say about a product, problem, or brand -- unique to Reddit search), subreddits (find communities), users. Pass query as free text up to 256 characters; decompose broad topics into several narrower queries, since result depth per query is capped upstream around a few hundred results. sort applies to posts (relevance|top|new|hot|comment_count) and comments (relevance|top|new); range (past_hour..all_time) applies to posts only; both are rejected with INVALID_INPUT elsewhere. Costs 6 credits per page; a cursor page is a NEW call priced the same way. Returns one page of summaries (author, title or comment text, upvotes, comment_count, created_at, permalink, id) with a cursor; there is no server-side time window on comment search, so for monitoring filter on created_at yourself and poll with sort=new. Fetch full post bodies and discussion threads with reddit_get_post; read one community's feed with reddit_get_subreddit_posts. For high-volume recency sweeps across X instead, use x_search.
