Reddit Research

Overview

Search and analyze Reddit discussions across all subreddits. Extract community opinions, identify pain points, discover product feedback, and understand market sentiment — all without Reddit API keys.

When to Use

Activate when the user asks:

• "What does Reddit think about [PRODUCT]?"
• "Search Reddit for [TOPIC]"
• "What are people saying about [BRAND] on Reddit?"
• "Reddit feedback on [TOOL/SERVICE]"
• "Find Reddit discussions about [TOPIC]"
• "Market research on Reddit for [INDUSTRY]"

Setup & Authentication

Before fetching data, ensure Xpoz access is configured. Follow these checks in order.

Check 1: Already authenticated?

If you have MCP tools, try calling any Xpoz tool (e.g., checkAccessKeyStatus). If it works → skip to Step 1.

If you have the SDK, try:

from xpoz import XpozClient
client = XpozClient()  # reads XPOZ_API_KEY env var

If this succeeds without error → skip to Step 1.

If neither works, you need to authenticate. Choose the path that fits your environment:

---

Path A: MCP via mcporter (OpenClaw agents)

If mcporter is available:

mcporter call xpoz.checkAccessKeyStatus

If hasAccessKey: true → ready. If not:

mcporter config add xpoz https://mcp.xpoz.ai/mcp --auth oauth

Then authenticate — generate the OAuth URL and send it to the user:

Step 1: Generate authorization URL

import secrets, hashlib, base64, urllib.parse, json, urllib.request, os

verifier = secrets.token_urlsafe(64)
challenge = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(hashlib.sha256(verifier.encode()).digest()).rstrip(b'=').decode()
state = secrets.token_urlsafe(32)

# Dynamic client registration
reg_req = urllib.request.Request(
    'https://mcp.xpoz.ai/oauth/register',
    data=json.dumps({
        'client_name': 'Agent Skills',
        'redirect_uris': ['https://www.xpoz.ai/oauth/openclaw'],
        'grant_types': ['authorization_code'],
        'response_types': ['code'],
        'token_endpoint_auth_method': 'none',
    }).encode(),
    headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
)
reg_resp = json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen(reg_req).read())

params = urllib.parse.urlencode({
    'response_type': 'code',
    'client_id': reg_resp['client_id'],
    'code_challenge': challenge,
    'code_challenge_method': 'S256',
    'redirect_uri': 'https://www.xpoz.ai/oauth/openclaw',
    'state': state,
    'scope': 'mcp:tools',
    'resource': 'https://mcp.xpoz.ai/',
})

auth_url = 'https://mcp.xpoz.ai/oauth/authorize?' + params

# Save state for token exchange
os.makedirs(os.path.expanduser('~/.cache/xpoz-oauth'), exist_ok=True)
with open(os.path.expanduser('~/.cache/xpoz-oauth/state.json'), 'w') as f:
    json.dump({'verifier': verifier, 'state': state, 'client_id': reg_resp['client_id'],
               'redirect_uri': 'https://www.xpoz.ai/oauth/openclaw'}, f)

print(auth_url)
