Social Fetch ACTION

Get Subreddit

Get metadata for a single Reddit community — title, description, subscriber counts, and icon/banner images when available. Use this to look up details about one subreddit; to fetch its posts use List Subreddit Posts instead. Provide the community as a bare name (pics), an r/-prefixed name (r/pics), or a full subreddit URL (https://www.reddit.com/r/pics); casing must match Reddit exactly. See the documentation

  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({

  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    social_fetch: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
