Reddit

Read a community's newest comments, across every post

Every new comment in a community, newest first, each with the post it belongs to (linkTitle, linkPermalink). This is the way to find mentions inside comments: Reddit's search does not search comment text at all.

Busy communities produce comments faster than anyone pages through them; to watch one continuously, create a subreddit_comments monitor, which also filters by keyword. name takes several communities joined with +. NSFW is judged by the comment's post and is left out unless includeNsfw=true.

Query parameters
