Details

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger

Description:Emit new event each time a new comment is added to a subreddit.
Version:0.1.0
Key:reddit-new-comments-on-a-post

Reddit Overview

  1. You could build a tool that monitors specific subreddits and notifies you
    when new posts match certain criteria.
  2. You could build a tool that analyzes the posts and comments in a given
    subreddit to generate statistics or visualizations about the topic.
  3. You could build a bot that automatically posts or comments in response to
    certain keywords or phrases.
  4. You could build a tool that helps manage your Reddit account by automating
    tasks like posting, messaging, or voting.
  5. You could build a tool that extracts data from Reddit posts and comments for
    use in other applications.

Trigger Configuration

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.
LabelPropTypeDescription
RedditredditappThis component uses the Reddit app.
N/Adb$.service.dbThis component uses $.service.db to maintain state between executions.
Polling scheduletimer$.interface.timer

Pipedream polls Reddit for events on this schedule.

SubredditsubredditstringSelect a value from the drop down menu.
PostsubredditPoststringSelect a value from the drop down menu.
numberOfParentsnumberOfParentsinteger

When set to 0, the emitted events will only contain the new comment. Otherwise, the events will also contain the parents of the new comment up to the number indicated in this property.

Depthdepthinteger

If set to 1, it will include, in the emitted event, only new comments that are direct children to the subreddit pointed by "subredditPost". Furthermore, "depth" determines the maximum depth of children, within the related subreddit comment tree, of new comments to be included in said emitted event.

Include subreddit details?includeSubredditDetailsboolean

If set to true, subreddit details will be expanded/included.

Trigger Authentication

Reddit uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Reddit account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Reddit and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Reddit API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
