What does social_reddit_posts return, and when should you call it?
Return a Reddit post with its score, comment count, and body text.
The highest-quality source of unprompted problem language available publicly: people describing what is broken without a vendor in the room. Requires a Reddit URL, so find one with wuthering_web_search first if you only have a topic.
Returns: title, body text, subreddit, score, num_comments, created date, URL.
Use to harvest the words buyers actually use before writing positioning or keyword lists. Don't use for volume measurement.
The post's URL is the whole of the request: there is no window or date range to set, and no way to list a subreddit's posts from its front page — find the threads worth reading with a search first, then read them one at a time.
What parameters does social_reddit_posts take?
social_reddit_posts accepts 1 parameter, of which 1 is required. Array values are comma-separated on the query string.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | yes | URL of the Reddit post itself, of the form reddit.com/r/<sub>/comments/<id>/<slug>. A subreddit front page is not accepted — the collection is keyed by post and answers one with "Reddit post was not found". Find it with your OWN web search first: `site:reddit.com/r/ "project management software"` returns it directly. wuthering_web_search is the fallback if you have no search of your own, and is billed. Never construct a URL — a wrong one returns a dead page, not an error. |
Which playbooks call social_reddit_posts?
6 of the research playbooks name social_reddit_posts in their method. Each is free to read and says where in the sequence the call belongs.
- Is there real demand for this?Test an idea against the cheapest evidence that could kill it — search demand, sustained ad spend, posted salaries, and the words buyers use — and return a verdict with the number that decides it.
- Where is the unoccupied position in this category?Map the category around one domain as an idea maze — the forks it has already run, who took each branch, which walls are still walls and which have moved — then return the one open position with the offer that takes it: buyer, bundle, price metric and message, decided together.
- What do we charge, and does the money work?Anchor price against what competitors actually charge and meter on, size willingness to pay from what the problem costs today, then run CAC, LTV and payback across three scenarios.
- Where do the next 1,000 customers come from?Score every plausible channel against the product's own characteristics, measure the reachable demand and the cost of entry for each, and commit to one with its CAC and its ceiling stated.
- What should we build next?Gather the language of people switching into and out of this category, code every quote to the force that drives it, size each theme against real search demand, and return a 50/50 roadmap.
- What would prove us wrong?Turn a belief the plan depends on into an explanation that cannot be bent to fit any result, name the rival explanations that would produce the same evidence, and pay only for the observations that would come out differently under each.
