# Reddit

> Reddit data via Apify.

Reddit data via Apify. Search posts across subreddits by keyword, returning titles, bodies, votes, authors, and timestamps. Keep maxItems small to stay inside the sync timeout.

1 endpoint available through Lava's AI Gateway. See the [Reddit API docs](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) for full documentation.

<Info>Supports both **managed** (Lava's API keys) and **unmanaged** (bring your own credentials) mode.</Info>

## Endpoints

### Search Reddit posts across all subreddits by keyword. Returns title, body, votes, author, subreddit, timestamps, and media. Use `searches` (array of queries) with `maxItems` to cap result count. IMPORTANT: this runs synchronously through the gateway's short serverless function window, keep `maxItems` small (≤10) and set `skipComments: true` and `skipUserPosts: true` to stay inside the window. Larger queries will 504-timeout. For more results, break into multiple calls or use targeted subreddit URLs via `startUrls` instead of cross-Reddit search. \$3.40 per 1,000 results.
