Inputs
| Field | What it does | Type |
|---|---|---|
query | Keywords to search Reddit for. Supports Reddit search operators (e.g. "title:layoffs", "author:spez", quotes for phrases). | string |
subreddit | Search only within this subreddit (e.g. "MechanicalKeyboards" or "r/MechanicalKeyboards"). Leave empty to search all of Reddit. | string |
sort | How to order the search results. | string |
time | Applies to Relevance / Top / Most-comments sorts. | string |
maxItems | Keyless RSS returns up to ~25 newest-matching posts and leaves score, numComments, upvoteRatio, flair, thumbnail and domain null (only title, author, url, selftext, createdAt, permalink, subreddit, isSelf, over18 are populated). Add Reddit app credentials below to paginate up to this many posts with full scores/comment counts and all fields populated. | integer |
includeComments | Fetch top comments for each post. Requires Reddit app credentials (anonymous comment access is blocked by Reddit). | boolean |
commentLimit | Maximum number of top comments to fetch per post (when Include comments is on). | integer |
redditClientId | Optional. Create a free 'script' app at reddit.com/prefs/apps for richer fields (score, comment counts), deeper pagination, and comments. Without it the actor uses keyless RSS. | string |
redditClientSecret | The secret for the Reddit app above. | string |
notionConnector | Optional. Write each post as a page into your Notion when the run finishes. Authorize a Notion connector once in Settings → API & Integrations → MCP connectors, then pick it here. Leave empty to skip (default) — results are always saved to the dataset regardless. | string |
notionParentId | Optional. The Notion data source ID of the database to write into (only used if a Notion connector is set). Leave empty to create the pages privately in your workspace instead. | string |
