reddit-subreddit
The posts of one subreddit: title, the post's page, what it links to, score, comment count, author, time, flair and the first 300 characters of the text. sort is hot, new, top or rising; t the window for top; limit up to 250 (100 posts per page). Without session it reads Reddit's public feed of the subreddit (1 to 3 s per 100 posts; the feed has no score, comment count or flair, so those are null). With session (your reddit_session cookie, from the Crawl4AI Session extension, used for this run only, never stored) every column is filled.
