# Reddit

Public posts with their score and comment count, keyword and subreddit search, and full comment threads. Reddit publishes votes, not views.

## What you can get

| Data | Status | Notes |

| Posts and stats | Limited | Score and comment count; Reddit does not publish views. |
| Keyword search | Live | Site-wide or inside a subreddit. |

## Post fields

Every platform returns the same post shape ([all fields](https://docs.sonderlabs.co.uk/concepts#the-post)). On Reddit:

- `likes` is the post's score (upvotes minus downvotes).
- `views` is `null` with `viewsEstimated: true`. Campaign reports estimate Reddit views from votes and label them as estimates.
- `creator.followers` is `null`.

Search kinds: `keyword`, `subreddit`.
