The Problem
Reddit contains the most authentic, unfiltered user opinions on the internet, but Reddit's native search is weak and manual browsing is slow. Programmatic Reddit search at scale surfaces patterns across thousands of discussions that manual research would miss.

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Reddit for "A SaaS founder validates a project management tool idea. 20 Reddit searches across r/projectmanagement, r/startups, r/SaaS, r/smallbusiness cost $0.10. Analysis of 200+ posts reveals: top complaints about existing tools are pricing (mentioned 89 times), learning curve (67 times), and lack of time tracking integration (54 times). The founder positions their MVP around simplicity and built-in time tracking. Validation cost: $0.10 vs $5,000 for a traditional focus group.":
