Scrape posts from Reddit subreddits via DataDoping Reddit API.
The Reddit Subreddit Posts Scraper collects posts from one or more subreddits across feed modes — Hot, New, Rising, Top, and Controversial. Set a time window for Top/Controversial and a per-subreddit result cap to build reliable community datasets.
Perfect for community managers, social listening platforms, researchers, and developers automating subreddit monitoring. Pass plain names (askreddit) or r/-prefixed values; the scraper normalizes them and returns clean, structured JSON for every post.
Use it for continuous brand tracking inside niche communities, competitor launch watches, or building training sets from high-signal subreddits.

How parameters affect the run: mode selects the listing algorithm. time is ignored for hot/new/rising. Larger maxResults increases pagination depth and runtime per subreddit.
