Do I need a Reddit API key or app?

No. Your agent calls the operations with a looot key. You do not register a Reddit app or deal with its rate limits.

How do I read the comments of a thread?

Use a post comments operation and pass the post URL. It returns the post and its comments, with author and score.

Can I search comments, not only posts?

Yes. The search operation from Scrape Creators takes a filter for posts or comments across all of Reddit.

Can the agent write or vote?

No. These operations read public data and do not post, comment or vote.

Is there an operation for Reddit ads?

Yes. SearchAPI.io has an operation that searches the Reddit ad library for campaigns and creatives.

How does my agent call a Reddit operation?

It connects to looot once, searches the catalog for the job, reads the input fields and the price, then runs the operation. Setup takes one line from skill.md, and the same key works for every provider.

How is a Reddit call billed?

Per call, at the price shown on this page for that operation. The agent sees the price before the run, and the run is recorded with its cost in your ledger.

Where do I find the full input and output fields?

Each operation has a reference page on docs.looot.ai with its input fields, an example call and the response. The For agents card on this page links the cheapest ones.

Are the prices on this page current?

They are read from the live looot catalog every few minutes, so they change when a provider changes its price. When the catalog cannot be read, the page shows no numbers.

Which Reddit operation should I start with?

Start with the cheapest operation in the job you need, which is listed first in its group. Check that it returns the fields your agent reads, and switch to another provider if it does not.

Who covers Reddit, and how they differ

Scrape Creators takes a post URL and returns the post and comments in one call, and can search posts or comments across all of Reddit. Anysite splits post, comments, subreddit and subreddit posts into separate calls. The TikHub family reads Reddit's app endpoints, including explore feeds, dynamic search and community highlights, so its input names differ.
