Fetch comment replies api reddit app.

Job id `api.reddit.app.fetch-comment-replies`, in [Social data](/catalog/social) (Reddit). As of 2026-10-01, 1 provider serve it through 1 tool. Run `job:api.reddit.app.fetch-comment-replies` and looot picks one of them; with `fallback` on, a miss moves on to the next. See [Jobs](/concepts/jobs).

## Inputs

This job has one tool, so it takes that tool's fields. Any key you send passes through unchanged.

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `cursor` | string | yes | Comment cursor from more.cursor field |
| `language` | string | no | Preferred response language as an IETF language tag; default: en-US |
| `need_format` | boolean | no | Whether to clean and format the data |
| `post_id` | string | yes | Post ID |
| `sort_type` | string | no | Sort method: CONFIDENCE, NEW, TOP, HOT, CONTROVERSIAL, OLD, RANDOM |

## Providers and prices

| Provider | Tool | Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [TikHub](/providers/tikhub) | [`tikhub-api-reddit-app-fetch-comment-replies`](/reference/tools/tikhub-api-reddit-app-fetch-comment-replies) | $0.001 per call |

A call that fails at the provider costs $0. See [What's free](/money/free-and-failures).

## Output

Shape of the run's `result`, the expected shape, not yet checked against real answers:

```txt
{ code, data: { postInfoById: { id, title, __typename, commentCount } }, docs, time, params: { post_id, sort_type, need_format }, router, message, support, cache_url, time_zone, message_zh, request_id, time_stamp, cache_message, cache_message_zh }
```

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

Example input with placeholder values:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"job:api.reddit.app.fetch-comment-replies","input":{"post_id":"<post_id>","cursor":"<cursor>"},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "job:api.reddit.app.fetch-comment-replies",
    input: {
      post_id: "<post_id>",
      cursor: "<cursor>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "job:api.reddit.app.fetch-comment-replies",
        "input": {
            "post_id": "<post_id>",
            "cursor": "<cursor>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```

To pin one provider, send its tool id as `endpointId` instead of `job:api.reddit.app.fetch-comment-replies`.
