Overview

The "Search Reddit" operation in this node allows users to perform a search query on Reddit and retrieve posts matching the specified criteria. This is useful for monitoring topics, trends, or discussions on Reddit related to any subject of interest. For example, marketers can track brand mentions, researchers can gather data on public opinion, or hobbyists can find posts about their favorite topics.

Properties

Name Meaning
Limit Max number of results to return (number).
Query The search query string to look for on Reddit (string).
Additional Fields Optional parameters to refine the search:
- Time Frame The time frame to get posts from. Options: All, Day, Month, Week, Year
- Sort By The sort order of the results. Options: Best, Hot, New, Rising, Top

Output

The output contains a JSON array of Reddit posts matching the search criteria. Each item typically includes details such as post title, author, subreddit, score, creation date, and other metadata relevant to the post. The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for accessing the Scrape Creators API.
  • The node sends requests to https://api.scrapecreators.com with appropriate headers including the API key.
  • No additional environment variables are needed beyond the API key configuration.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing API key will cause authentication errors.
    • Exceeding the allowed rate limit of the API may result in temporary blocking or errors.
    • Providing an empty or invalid query string will likely return no results or an error.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication failures: Check that the API key is correctly set up in credentials.
    • Request failures: Verify network connectivity and API endpoint availability.
    • Validation errors: Ensure required fields like "Query" and "Limit" are provided and valid.
