Real-time Reddit search powered by OpenAI web_search with post enrichment (score, comments, and top comment excerpts).

Setup

Set your OpenAI API key:

Or use environment variable:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-YOUR-KEY"

You can also set a shared key:

clawdbot config set skills.entries.openai.apiKey "sk-YOUR-KEY"

Commands

Output Options

node {baseDir}/scripts/search.js --json "topic"        # JSON results
node {baseDir}/scripts/search.js --compact "topic"     # Minimal output
node {baseDir}/scripts/search.js --links-only "topic"  # Only Reddit links

Example Usage in Chat

User: "Search Reddit for what people are saying about Claude Code" Action: Run search with query "Claude Code"

How It Works

Uses OpenAI Responses API (/v1/responses) with the web_search tool:

• Allowed domain: reddit.com
• Enriches each thread by fetching Reddit JSON (/r/.../comments/.../.json)
• Updates the date from created_utc and filters to last N days
• Computes engagement and top comment excerpts

Environment Variables

• OPENAI_API_KEY - OpenAI API key (required)
• SEARCH_REDDIT_MODEL - Model override (default: gpt-5.2)
• SEARCH_REDDIT_DAYS - Default days to search (default: 30)
