Through Scrollport you do not need a Reddit developer account: these tools are priced per request or result, depending on the tool, paid from a prepaid wallet, and connecting your first agent adds $1 of trial credit. ### How do I search Reddit from an AI agent? Connect your agent to Scrollport, then ask it to research your topic on Reddit. It finds the Reddit tools on this page, checks the inputs and price, runs the search and returns structured results. ### What is the best Reddit API for an AI agent? It depends on what you need back and how much you will run it. Reddit comment replies by post fullname and cursor (TikHub, $0.0025/request): Reddit: fetch comment replies (app). Reddit post comments by post fullname (TikHub, $0.0025/request): Reddit: fetch post comments (app). Reddit post details by post fullname (TikHub, $0.0025/request): Reddit: fetch post details (app). Your agent can inspect the closest match and see its exact price before it runs. ## Learn more about Reddit audience intent research Define the audience question, relevant communities and time period before your agent examines posts and comments. Reddit is strongest as contextual evidence, not a representative opinion poll. **Choose communities and context deliberately** Provide a query, likely subreddits, date range and audience hypothesis. Ask the agent to include adjacent communities only when it explains why they are relevant. **How can Reddit research reveal customer intent?** Posts and comments can reveal problems, language, alternatives and decision criteria in context. Ask the agent to retain thread links and distinguish original questions, replies, jokes and quoted material. **Do not mistake visibility for prevalence** Upvotes, moderator rules and community culture shape what is visible. Ask for contrasting examples and sample limitations rather than claiming that recurring comments represent the wider market. **Example prompt** This prompt uses Reddit to refine an audience hypothesis. Example prompt to give your agent `Use Scrollport's Reddit intent research tools to investigate how [AUDIENCE] discusses [PROBLEM OR DECISION] in [SUBREDDITS OR RELEVANT COMMUNITIES] during [DATES]. Identify recurring needs, language, alternatives and objections with thread links and contextual examples. Look for disagreement and state why the sample is not representative.
