How to build a Reddit Subreddit Checker
Community and brand teams run a quiet subreddit check before seeding or monitoring: recent scores, comment volume, and cadence. It is the first filter before a full listening dashboard.

Reddit Subreddit Posts
GET/v1/reddit/postsRecent posts with score and comment counts
~2 credits per full run.
Logic behind the screen
pulse = avg(score) + avg(comments)
Average score and comment count across a hot/new page is a fast heat signal. Brand teams use it to decide whether a subreddit is active enough for seeding or monitoring spend.
Sample the subreddit
GET /api/v1/reddit/posts?name=…&sort=hot returns a page of public posts with score and num_comments.
Aggregate heat
Average score and comments across the sample. High averages + dense titles usually mean the community is active enough for brand listening.
Emit the checker card
Return post_count, avg_score, avg_comments, and a top title. Same first-pass shape used before spinning up a full Reddit listening project.
