Questions about getRedditPostsByKeywords
Search Reddit posts by keywords with two response modes. Searches in post titles and selftext. FAST (default, omit responseType or responseType="fast"): Returns up to 300 results directly (use limit param to reduce, e.g. limit=5). Auto API fallback for fresh data. Results include guidance for full mode. PAGING (responseType="paging"): Async paginated results (100/page), returns operationId for polling via checkOperationStatus. Supports pageNumber/tableName for subsequent pages. CSV (responseType="csv"): Async single CSV download, returns operationId, poll for S3 link. CODE EXECUTION: For csv mode, download CSV and use code execution to analyze full dataset. Ideal for: sentiment analysis, subreddit trends, community discussions across thousands of posts. Returns by default: id, title, authorUsername, subredditName, createdAtDate. First searches database, then external API if data is stale or missing. QUERY SYNTAX: Plain keywords (bitcoin, climate change), quoted phrases ("deep learning"), boolean expressions (AI AND crypto, bitcoin OR ethereum, politics NOT sports), or parenthesized groups ((startup OR entrepreneur) NOT "venture capital"). AND/OR/NOT must have a term on both sides. @handles like @karpathy are supported. Field operators (from:, lang:) are stripped. Forward slashes are treated as spaces (24/7 becomes 24 7). Date filters: OMIT startDate/endDate parameters by default. ONLY pass these if user explicitly requests specific date range (YYYY-MM-DD format). IMPORTANT!!!!!: THE CURRENT YEAR IS 2026. When user requests relative dates (last week, last month), verify the current date from your system context and double-check the calculated dates - models often get the year wrong, searching one year earlier than intended. FILTERS: sort (relevance, hot, top, new, comments), time (hour, day, week, month, year, all), subreddit (limit to specific subreddit). FIELDS parameter (optional): Specify to get additional/different fields. Available: Core (id, title, selftext, url, permalink), Author (authorId, authorUsername), Subreddit (subredditName, subredditId), Engagement (score, upvotes, downvotes, upvoteRatio, commentsCount, crosspostsCount), Flags (isSelf, isVideo, over18, spoiler, locked, stickied, archived). This is a safe, read-only tool for analyzing searchable information.
