Give your agent a keyword and it gets the public Reddit posts that match: the title, the opening of the body, the subreddit, the date and the link. RouterGrowth is an independent API, not Reddit's own, so there is no Reddit app, client id or rate limit of your own to manage.
Ask your agent
Find Reddit posts from the last month where small business owners ask which CRM to use, and list the tools they mention.
Connect RouterGrowth once, then ask in plain words. New workspaces start with $1 of credit. Get a key or read the setup guide.
A real run
One call to social.search (social post search), run through RouterGrowth on October 19, 2026. These are the first rows it returned; fields that name a person are masked.
| text | community | posted |
|---|---|---|
| What CRM are you using for your small business? | r/CRMSoftware | 2026-10-14 |
| If You Had to Pick the Best CRM for Small Business Today, What Would It Be? | r/CRMSoftware | 2026-08-13 |
| Tiny local businesses don't want a CRM. Here's what they asked for instead, after hundreds of calls. | r/CRM | 2026-10-13 |
Five public posts for crm for small business. They came from r/CRMSoftware and r/CRM, buyers asking what to pick and builders asking for feedback.
Step by step
Add RouterGrowth to your agent over MCP, or call the REST API with one key. There is no Reddit account or app in the loop.
social.search takes platform reddit, the query and a limit. The phrase is matched against public posts across subreddits.
Each post comes with its URL, title, body, subreddit and date, in the same shape as the other networks social.search covers.
Hand a post URL to social.comments for the replies, or read a whole subreddit's recent posts with social.posts.
Price
List prices on Reddit, read from the catalog when this page was built. The exact figure is quoted before every run, and a monthly plan lowers it.
In practice
You describe the job; the agent picks the calls, shows the price and runs them.
Find Reddit posts from the last month where small business owners ask which CRM to use, and list the tools they mention.
Search Reddit for our category, open the three busiest threads and summarise what people complain about.
Connect
One MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, or the same call over the CLI and REST with the input above.

RouterGrowth reads public Reddit data through its own providers. It does not use or resell Reddit's developer API, and it cannot post, vote or reply.
Search results sometimes come back without likes and reply counts. Read the subreddit with social.posts when you need engagement.
The same fields come back for X, LinkedIn, YouTube and the rest, so one parser covers all of them.
