Input
Subreddit name without the leading r/ (e.g. "golang").
Listing sort order. Allowed values: hot, new, top.
Legacy pagination alias. Prefer `cursor`; omit both fields for the first page.
1100
Page size to ask for (up to 100). Some sources honor it; others always return their whole page of about 25 posts. A page is never trimmed after the call, so pass nextCursor back as cursor to continue exactly where this response ended. Range: 1 to 100.
Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response's `nextCursor`; omit for the first page.
Time window, applied when sort is "top" (e.g. "year" for the year's top posts). Ignored for hot/new. Omit to default to the current day for top. Allowed values: all, year, month, week, day, hour.
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `isArchived` or `selftext`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a post that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge. On a paginated walk it applies to the first page only; later pages stay with the source that page chose, at the price it was quoted.

Pricing
Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.00038 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
