reddit-research-skills

Reddit research skills for Claude Code and AI agents.

Available Skills

reddit-research (canonical)

Market research, user research, and product validation on Reddit via reddapi.dev - semantic search across 50K+ subreddits, 20M+ posts, and 40M+ comments, trends over a date range, and subreddit discovery, plus query playbooks for competitor research, niche validation, and trend tracking.

reddapi (legacy name)

The original skill name for the same engine as reddit-research, kept live for existing installs. Fully functional standalone; new installs should prefer reddit-research for the expanded playbooks.

reddit-search-api (reference)

Pure API reference for the same engine - endpoints, parameters, response schemas, error codes, no research-workflow framing. For developers who just want the API docs.

reddit-leads

B2B lead discovery - finds Reddit posts with buying intent, scores them 0-100, and classifies by lead type (pain_point, solution_request, complaint, feature_request, comparison). Requires a paid reddapi.dev plan.

Key facts: This is a third-party service (not Reddit official) - no Reddit OAuth or app registration needed. It is not unlimited: access is gated by plan-based rate limits (see skills/reddit-leads/SKILL.md for the plan/quota table); an invalid or exhausted key returns HTTP 429.

Features:

• Semantic Search (default): natural-language search over the full archive, exact result counts up to limit: 100, LLM keyword extraction and an optional AI summary; no date filter
• Vector Search: same archive with similarity_score and working date filters - the mode to use when a question is scoped to a date range
• Trends API: named entities Reddit is talking about in a date window, with growth vs the previous window
• Subreddit Discovery: list and look up subreddits
