## Description

Get the captions transcript for a Reddit video post. Use this when you need the spoken text of a Reddit-hosted video; for the post's comment thread use **List Reddit Post Comments** instead. Provide the post URL or a direct hosted video URL, and optionally a two-letter ISO 639-1 language code (e.g. `en`) to prefer a caption track when several exist. [See the documentation](https://app.socialfetch.dev/playground?path=/v1/reddit/posts/transcript&method=GET)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `url` | `string` | Yes | Link to the Reddit post (string, https://). E.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/abc123/title/. |
| `language` | `string` | No | Optional ISO 639-1 language code (two letters) to prefer when multiple caption tracks exist. E.g. en. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,

        "x-pd-app-slug": "social_fetch",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
