Reddit is where candid product opinions, niche expertise and early signals live, and since the official API moved behind paid access it has become hard for an agent to reach: quotas are tight and the site blocks unauthenticated scraping. Through AgentKey your agent reads public Reddit data the same way it reads everything else — find_tools, describe_tool, execute_tool — with more than one provider behind the scenes, so one route failing does not stop the task.

How to use it

Pass the request in plain language and let the router pick the tool:
Both English and Chinese phrasing work, and the platform’s usual English and Chinese names all land here. Always describe_tool before executing — parameters and per-call costs differ between providers.
Building with code? The same capability is available as fixed-contract Scenario Methods with automatic provider failover: social.reddit.post.search, social.reddit.post.get, social.reddit.post.comments, social.reddit.topic.search, social.reddit.topic.posts, social.reddit.user.get, social.reddit.user.posts, social.reddit.user.search, social.reddit.trending.

FAQ

No. AgentKey holds the upstream access; your agent only needs your AgentKey subscription.
No. Only publicly visible posts, comments, subreddits and profiles are available.
Comments are paginated, and replies that Reddit collapses behind a “more” cursor come from a separate call for that comment. Plan on several calls for a thread with thousands of comments, and check the per-call cost with describe_tool first.
