List the comments on a Reddit post. The response is normalized, so it keeps the same shape whichever offer served it. The call is synchronous and comes back completed or failed. Body fields and error codes shared by every service are documented on Run a service.

Body

string[]

required

The URLs to fetch, as urls (array) or url (single string). Each one must match an accepted format below, and a mismatch returns 400 invalid_input_format before any routing or billing.

string

Single-input form of urls.

number

default:"100"

Maximum number of records to return. Integer, 1-250.

string

Pin one offer, as source/name. Serving this service: brightdata/reddit. Omit it (the default) to let the router walk the failover chain.

object

This service declares no options. Any key sent here returns a corrective 400.

Accepted URL formats

Format	Example
`https://www.reddit.com/r/<subreddit>/comments/<post_id>/<slug>`	`https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1abcd2/some_title/`

Offers

One offer serves this endpoint today. When a second one implements it, failover turns on with no change on your side.

Offer	Inputs per call
`brightdata/reddit`	1000

Prices are live in the catalogue: GET /v1/services/reddit/post.comments. See Credits for how a call is billed.

Response

data[] holds the normalized records, served_by names the offer that answered, and credits_used carries the actual charge. The example response is a real run with values shortened for readability. A field is present when Reddit exposes it for that item, so the exact set varies record to record.
