`reddit_history_posts`

Pack: reddit-archive · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/reddit_history_posts for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Historical Reddit POSTS from one subreddit, back to ~2005 — via the Arctic Shift archive, not the live Reddit API (which the reddit pack uses and which only reaches ~1,000 recent results with no reliable date filter). PREFER for “Reddit posts about X in/before ”, “what did r/_{post about Y historically”, or any request the live reddit pack cannot date-filter. Filter by date range (after/before, ISO dates like “2019-01-01”) and/or keyword (query, matched against title+body). Returns id, title, author, created_utc (ISO), score, num_comments, permalink. A subreddit Arctic Shift has never indexed is reported as a loud error, never a silent empty list.}

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`subreddit`	string	yes	Subreddit name without the r/ prefix, e.g. “datasets”.
`query`	string	no	Optional keyword — matched against post title and body text.
`after`	string	no	Optional ISO date (e.g. “2019-01-01”) — only posts created on/after this date.
`before`	string	no	Optional ISO date (e.g. “2020-01-01”) — only posts created before this date.
`limit`	number	no	Max posts to return (default 25, max 100).
`sort`	string	no	”asc” or “desc” by post date (default “desc”, newest first).
