Input
Subreddit name without the r/ prefix (e.g. 'Fitness').
Optional sort order: relevance, hot, top, new, comments. Allowed values: relevance, hot, top, new, comments.
Optional search query to match posts (e.g. 'push ups').
Optional pagination token from a previous response. Include `nextCursor` in requireFields on the first request to make sure a source that supports pagination serves it.
Optional time filter: all, year, month, week, day, hour. 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 `nextCursor` 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. Name `nextCursor` only if you will fetch more than the first page: when you leave it out, a cheaper source that cannot paginate may serve the request, and its nextCursor is null, so there is no next page to ask for. 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 $0.00035 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged.
