What is LangChain?
The most popular framework for building LLM-powered applications. Provides chains, agents, and tools for composing AI workflows.
Searching Reddit with LangChain
This integration lets your LangChain agent search Reddit in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with posts, comments, subreddits, authors — ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
Bash
pip install langchain langchain-scavio langchain-openaiCode Example
Here is a complete LangChain agent that searches Reddit using Scavio:
Python
from langchain_scavio import ScavioSearch
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain.agents import create_tool_calling_agent, AgentExecutor
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
# Initialize the Scavio search tool
tool = ScavioSearch(api_key="your_scavio_api_key")
# Create an agent with the tool
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
("system", "You are a helpful research assistant."),
("human", "{input}"),
("placeholder", "{agent_scratchpad}"),
])
agent = create_tool_calling_agent(llm, [tool], prompt)
executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=[tool])
# Search specifically on Reddit
result = agent.invoke({"input": "Search Reddit for best python web frameworks 2026"})
print(result["output"])Full Working Example
