Retrieves comments and post details from a Reddit post by URL. Returns the post with title, author, score, ups, upvote_ratio, num_comments, and created_utc, plus a comments array where each comment includes author, body, body_html, score, created_utc, parent_id, permalink, and nested replies. Both GET and POST are supported. Use GET for normal requests. Pass one opaque cursor exactly as returned by more.cursor or replies.more.cursor to load the next page. Cursor batching and comma-separated cursor values are not supported. If an opaque cursor becomes too large after extensive pagination, use POST and send the same parameters in the JSON body. Supports cursor-based pagination for loading more comments and a trim parameter for lighter responses.

- **Tool id:** `scrapecreators-reddit-post-comments-get`
- **Provider:** [ScrapeCreators](/providers/scrapecreators)
- **Job:** [Read the comment thread on a Reddit post](/reference/jobs/reddit-post-comments) (`reddit.post.comments`)
- **Price:** $0.00188 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `cursor` | string | no |   |
| `trim` | boolean | no | Example: "false" |
| `url` | string | yes |   |

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect scrapecreators-reddit-post-comments-get` prints its fields.

## 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":"scrapecreators-reddit-post-comments-get","input":{"url":"<url>","trim":"false","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: "scrapecreators-reddit-post-comments-get",
    input: {
      url: "<url>",
      trim: "false",
      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": "scrapecreators-reddit-post-comments-get",
        "input": {
            "url": "<url>",
            "trim": "false",
            "cursor": "<cursor>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send `job:reddit.post.comments` as `endpointId`; see [the job page](/reference/jobs/reddit-post-comments).
