Overview

WakeScrap exposes this Reddit endpoint as a live-data API. The platform keeps the documented request and response shape stable while unifying auth, request tracking, and credits billing.

Searches across all of Reddit for posts matching a query. Each post includes title, author, selftext, subreddit, score, ups, upvote_ratio, num_comments, created_utc, url, permalink, and is_video. Supports sort (relevance, new, top, comment_count), timeframe filtering, pagination via the after token, and a trim parameter for lighter responses.

Required params: query.
