Reddit Signal Harvester (Apify)
A library skill that pulls data from Reddit using the Apify trudax/reddit-scraper actor — bypassing Reddit's 403 blocks on cloud/server IPs. Authentication comes from APIFY_API_TOKEN in ~/.claude/.env.
It has four modes: search (single or multiple keywords, globally or within a specific subreddit), subreddit (a community's top/new/hot/rising feed), thread (a post + its comments), and user (a handle's post and comment history).
When to use: When you want to surface real user pain points about a niche, validate a product idea, gather sentiment about a competitor/tool, look for demand signals, or take the community pulse on a topic. Other agents can call it via the Skill tool to obtain raw Reddit signal.
Prerequisite: APIFY_API_TOKEN must be set in ~/.claude/.env.
Output: A normalized array of rows (JSON) with consistent keys — each row contains the post ID, subreddit, author, title, body, score, upvote ratio, comment count, creation time, and safety flags. Bot, deleted ([deleted]), and AutoModerator content is filtered out automatically.
