What is Vercel AI SDK?
TypeScript toolkit for building AI-powered applications with React Server Components, streaming, and tool calling.
Searching Reddit with Vercel AI SDK
This integration lets your Vercel AI SDK 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
npm install ai @ai-sdk/anthropic zodCode Example
Here is a complete Vercel AI SDK agent that searches Reddit using Scavio:
import { generateText, tool } from "ai";
import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";
import { z } from "zod";
// Reddit search takes query and an optional cursor only - there is no sort parameter here. For sorted feeds use POST /api/v1/reddit/subreddit/posts.
const result = await generateText({
model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-5"),
tools: {
scavioSearch: tool({
description: "Query Reddit for real-time results",
parameters: z.object({ query: z.string() }),
execute: async ({ query }) => {
const res = await fetch("https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/reddit/search", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({ query }),
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error("Scavio API error: " + res.status);
return res.json();
},
}),
},
prompt: "best python web frameworks 2026",
});
console.log(result.text);Full Working Example
A production-ready example with error handling:
import { generateText, tool } from "ai";
import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";
import { z } from "zod";
// Reddit search takes query and an optional cursor only - there is no sort parameter here. For sorted feeds use POST /api/v1/reddit/subreddit/posts.
const result = await generateText({
model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-5"),
maxSteps: 5,
tools: {
scavioSearch: tool({
description: "Query Reddit for real-time results",
parameters: z.object({ query: z.string() }),
execute: async ({ query }) => {
const res = await fetch("https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/reddit/search", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({ query }),
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error("Scavio API error: " + res.status);
return res.json();
},
}),
},
prompt: "best python web frameworks 2026",
});
console.log(result.text);Pricing
