The original reddapi.dev Reddit search skill (vector search, semantic search, trends, subreddit discovery), no Reddit OAuth or app registration needed. This is the same engine now packaged as reddit-research with added market-research playbooks and a fuller pitch on semantic vs keyword search; reddapi is kept live under its original name for existing installs and works standalone. Use when the user says 'reddapi' by name, or wants a minimal drop-in Reddit search skill without the extra…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# 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 …

How to install
mdr add lignertys/reddit-research-skills/reddapi@sha256:fba631e532d33dbfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.a1f9f97, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
