# reddapi.dev Skill ## About This Skill This was the first skill published for reddapi.dev. It has since grown into **`reddit-research`**, which covers the same endpoints below plus market-research query playbooks and a fuller pitch on why semantic search beats keyword search on Reddit. This file stays live and fully functional under its original name so existing installs keep working - if you're installing fresh, prefer `reddit-research`. ## Overview Search Reddit's archive through reddapi.dev, a third-party indexer (not the official Reddit API - no OAuth, no app registration). Two search modes, a trends endpoint over a date range, and subreddit lookup. All endpoints require the auth header built in "Credentials" below. **All POST requests must also send `Content-Type: application/json` - omitting it returns HTTP 403 "Cross-site POST form submissions are forbidden".** ## Credentials `REDDAPI_API_KEY` lives in the environment of the shell that runs the request. Its value is never needed in this conversation. The operator sets both variables once, in their own shell, before the agent runs anything. The agent never reads, writes, or transports the key's value: ```bash export REDDAPI_API_KEY=... # from https://reddapi.dev/account export REDDAPI_AUTH="Authorization: Bearer $REDDAPI_API_KEY" ``` Every request below sends `-H "$REDDAPI_AUTH"`. No command in this skill names the key's value, and no example needs it substituted in. - Refere...
