Convert Reddit posts to Markdown

Turn a public Reddit URL into clean, portable Markdown for LLMs, notes, research, and archives. This guide follows the same domain-swap workflow as the X guide, adapted for Reddit.

Want to test the form first? Use the Reddit converter or start from the all-platform preview.

Why use AnyPost for Reddit?

Threads with nested comments as clean lists. Instead of pasting a live URL and hoping an AI tool can read it, AnyPost returns the post as a stable Markdown document with attribution.

ApproachWhat you get
Paste the original linkPreview cards, login walls, or incomplete context
anypost.mdClean Markdown with source URL and platform context

01: Cleaner context
Markdown removes navigation, overlays, embeds, and tracking parameters so models see the post content first.

02: Better archives
The output is plain text, easy to diff, store in Obsidian, add to a CMS, or keep in a research folder.

03: Predictable automation
The browser URL swap and the JSON API share the same conversion pipeline, so scripts and manual workflows produce the same style of output.

Step-by-step workflow

01: Copy the Reddit URL
Use the public permalink for the post, article, story, video, pin, or thread you want to preserve.

02: Swap the domain to anypost.md
Open the AnyPost URL in your browser. The platform prefix keeps routing explicit.

After:  https://anypost.md/reddit/r/micro_saas/comments/1trtnhs/earlyseo_small_experiment_tracking_when_ai/

03: Add paid options when needed
Free tier covers 10 single-post conversions per day. Threads, comments, author metadata, and API usage need credits and an apk_ key.

04: Copy the Markdown output
Use the result in a prompt, archive, markdown editor, CMS, or API workflow.

What you get

  • Post body plus nested comment trees as readable lists
  • Self-posts, link posts and image posts all supported
  • Post + top comments as a flat 10-credit conversion
  • Subreddit and author context kept in the output

Good for

  • Feeding exact Reddit context into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, or another AI assistant.
  • Saving source posts in Obsidian, Notion, a research database, or a static-site content folder.
  • Quoting public posts with the original URL and platform timestamp kept together.
  • Building lightweight review, monitoring, or archive scripts around a stable Markdown response.

For agents: fetch Markdown, not web pages

Give AnyPost to OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor agents, Claude Code, and RAG workers as their Reddit fetch layer. Instead of driving the original site, the agent should rewrite the URL to anypost.md or call /api/convert, then read the clean Markdown response.

That keeps agents out of brittle DOM scraping, rate-limit loops, login walls, and browser automation noise.

Agent setup

  • Install the anypost-md skill, or give your agent the raw SKILL.md.
  • Store an apk_ key from Login for Agents and send it as Authorization: Bearer apk_live_xxx for paid options.
  • Use the domain-swap URL when the agent wants a plain Markdown document; use /api/convert when it needs JSON fields such as markdown, credits, or structured errors.

Paid options and API usage

Single Reddit posts work on the free tier. Add your key when you want comments, thread context, author metadata, or reliable API usage:

curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer apk_live_xxx" \
  "https://anypost.md/reddit/r/micro_saas/comments/1trtnhs/earlyseo_small_experiment_tracking_when_ai/"

When your app needs JSON fields such as markdown, credits, or structured errors, call /api/convert with the original URL:

curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer apk_live_xxx" \
  "https://anypost.md/api/convert?url=https%3A%2F%2Freddit.com%2Fr%2Fmicro_saas%2Fcomments%2F1trtnhs%2Fearlyseo_small_experiment_tracking_when_ai%2F"

Reddit FAQ

Can I include the Reddit comments?

Yes. Turn on Comments and AnyPost returns the post plus up to 10 top-level replies as a single 10-credit conversion, formatted as nested Markdown lists.

Do I need an account to convert a Reddit post?

No. Single-post conversions work on the free tier. Comments and author metadata need credits and an API key.

Is Reddit available on the free tier?

Yes. Free tier users get 10 single-post Reddit conversions per day. Threads, comments, author metadata, and API access require credits and an apk_ key.

Can agents use AnyPost instead of scraping Reddit?

Yes. Give OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor agents, Claude Code, or your RAG worker the anypost-md skill at /i/skill.md and an apk_ key from Login for Agents. The agent should call AnyPost for Reddit URLs and read Markdown instead of scraping the original page, which avoids brittle selectors, rate limits, and login walls.
