Use Reddit records as evidence, not glue code.
UnifAPI keeps the public Reddit surface discoverable through MCP and callable over HTTP. Agents can inspect the schema, fetch only the records needed for the task, and return the result with request, pagination, and billing metadata intact.
Read public subreddit, feed, post, comment, and user activity when a market research agent needs community evidence.
Summarize what people are saying in a thread, compare recent posts across subreddits, or monitor emerging language around a product category.
Use URL-style identifiers such as subreddit names, usernames, and post ids so a prompt can move naturally from a Reddit link to an API call.
