Name a subreddit and get its recent public posts with likes, replies, body text and links. The scraping runs on hosted providers, so there is no script to maintain, no proxy pool to rent and no block to work around when Reddit changes its pages.
Ask your agent
Scrape the last 20 posts in r/Entrepreneur and list the questions about pricing or branding.
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.posts (social posts & content), run through RouterGrowth on October 19, 2026. These are the first rows it returned; fields that name a person are masked.
| text | community | likes | replies |
|---|---|---|---|
| One Construction Brand or Multiple Specialized Brands? | r/Entrepreneur | 6 | 20 |
| Monday mentorship: ask anything | October 19, 2026 | r/Entrepreneur | 1 | 2 |
Four recent posts from r/Entrepreneur, including a branding question with 20 replies and the weekly mentorship thread.
Step by step
Tell the agent which subreddit to read and how many posts. It calls social.posts with r/name.
The hosted scraper fetches the posts. If one provider fails, the router tries the next one allowed by your cap.
Each post comes back with text, body, likes, replies, date and URL, the same fields every time.
Open the busy threads with social.comments, or search for a phrase across Reddit with social.search.
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.
Scrape the last 20 posts in r/Entrepreneur and list the questions about pricing or branding.
Read r/Entrepreneur, pick the three posts with the most replies and summarise what commenters advise.

No scraper code, headless browser or proxy list on your side. Page changes are the provider's problem.
A subreddit scrape can take one to three minutes. Plan for it in a script or let the agent wait.
Only public subreddits are read. The call does not log in, post or vote.
FAQ
There is no scraper on your side to block. Requests run through hosted providers.
Yes, call social.comments with a thread URL. social.posts returns posts.
The rows come back as JSON. Ask the agent to write them to CSV, a sheet or a workspace table.
No. It reads communities and their posts. RouterGrowth does not scrape private persons' Reddit histories.
