Overview
The "Get Subreddit Posts" operation in this node fetches posts from a specified subreddit on Reddit. It allows users to retrieve a list of posts based on various criteria such as the number of posts, sorting order, and time frame. This is useful for monitoring trending topics, gathering data for analysis, or automating content curation from Reddit communities.
Practical examples include:
- Collecting the top posts from a niche subreddit for market research.
- Monitoring new or rising posts in a community to engage promptly.
- Aggregating posts over a specific time frame (e.g., past week) for reporting or sentiment analysis.
