How do I search a subreddit?

Short answer: You can search subreddit in Reddit by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Reddit Search Subreddit action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Search Subreddit.

What does the Search Subreddit action do in Reddit?

Full-text search within a specific subreddit. Supports Reddit's search syntax (flair, author, selftext filters). For "find all AMAs about X" or topic-research workflows.

What inputs does Search Subreddit require?

Required: Subreddit, Query. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Reddit returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Reddit returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Search Subreddit support batch operations?

Run Search Subreddit inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Reddit's rate limits.
