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.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Reddit	`reddit`	`app`	This component uses the Reddit app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream polls Reddit for events on this schedule.
Subreddit	`subreddit`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Post	`subredditPost`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
numberOfParents	`numberOfParents`	`integer`	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.
Depth	`depth`	`integer`	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?	`includeSubredditDetails`	`boolean`	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:
