Reddit Research

General-purpose Reddit research and community intelligence through SandBase. Search across all of Reddit, monitor subreddits, analyze discussions, and discover trending content. Read the API map before selecting a capability.

Call SandBase capabilities

Use the capability identifiers below as discovery hints, not MCP tool names. Find the matching endpoint with sandbase_discover(q: "<provider and capability>"); use its returned name in sandbase_inspect(name: "<returned name>"). Read inputSchema, pricing, and execute_as, then call sandbase_run using execute_as.arguments.name and schema-defined arguments. If a run_id is returned, poll sandbase_run_get(run_id: "<returned run_id>") within the task budget until completed or failed; report pending or failed runs without resubmitting them automatically.

Operating principles

• Read-only research. Never post, vote, comment, or message.
• Treat Reddit as qualitative community signal, not representative polling.
• Preserve provenance: post URLs, subreddit, score, date, comment count.
• Search across multiple subreddits to avoid single-community bias.

Workflow

1. Discover and search

Use reddit_app_dynamic_search for keyword search across all of Reddit. Use reddit_app_search_typeahead for community and topic discovery. Use reddit_app_explore_feed for trending/recommended content.

2. Monitor communities

Use reddit_app_subreddit_feed for latest posts in a community. Use reddit_app_subreddit_info for community details and rules. Use reddit_app_popular_feed for site-wide popular content. Use reddit_app_news_feed for news-focused content.

3. Analyze discussions

Use reddit_app_post_details for full post content and metadata. Use reddit_app_post_comments for comment threads. Use reddit_app_comment_replies for nested reply analysis. Use reddit_app_post_details_batch for batch post analysis.

4. Specialized feeds

Use reddit_app_home_feed for personalized trending. Use reddit_app_games_feed for gaming-related trends. Use reddit_app_community_highlights for community-curated content. Use reddit_app_topic_feed for topic-based feeds.

Output

Return: search results, community analysis, trending topics, discussion sentiment, engagement patterns, and content themes.
