n8n-nodes-reddwire

Monitor any subreddit for new posts and trigger n8n workflows — no Reddit API key required.

A drop-in replacement for the n8n built-in Reddit node, which broke when Reddit ended self-service API access in November 2025. Uses Reddit's public JSON endpoints. Works on self-hosted n8n.

Install

In your self-hosted n8n: Settings → Community Nodes → Install and paste:

n8n-nodes-reddwire

Approve the prompt. The Reddwire trigger node appears in your node panel within a few seconds.

Use

1. Add the Reddwire trigger node to your workflow.
2. Set the Subreddit (e.g. bitcoin).
3. Optionally set a Keyword Filter (e.g. crash).
4. Choose a poll interval (every minute, every 5 minutes, etc).
5. Activate the workflow. It fires whenever a matching new post appears.

Output payload

{
  "id": "abc123",
  "title": "Bitcoin just crashed 20%",
  "url": "https://reddit.com/r/bitcoin/comments/abc123",
  "author": "throwaway_trader",
  "body": "Full post text...",
  "score": 47,
  "num_comments": 12,
  "subreddit": "bitcoin",
  "created_at": "2026-05-11T14:32:00Z",
  "permalink": "/r/bitcoin/comments/abc123"
}

Matches the original Reddit node format so downstream workflows need no changes.

How it works

• Polls reddit.com/r/{subreddit}/new.json at your configured interval.
• Deduplicates by post ID using n8n's per-workflow static data store (last 500 IDs).
• First run is a baseline — only posts that arrive after first run will trigger your workflow. (Otherwise the first poll would fire 25 old posts.)
• If you set a keyword filter, the node looks in the post title, body, or both — your choice.
