Search Reddit posts across all subreddits by keyword. Returns title, body, votes, author, subreddit, timestamps, and media. Use searches (array of queries) with maxItems to cap result count. IMPORTANT: this runs synchronously through the gateway’s short serverless function window, keep maxItems small (≤10) and set skipComments: true and skipUserPosts: true to stay inside the window. Larger queries will 504-timeout. For more results, break into multiple calls or use targeted subreddit URLs via startUrls instead of cross-Reddit search. $3.40 per 1,000 results.

const data = await lava.gateway('https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/trudax~reddit-scraper-lite/run-sync-get-dataset-items', {

],
"maxItems": 5,
"searchPosts": true,
"searchComments": false,
"skipUserPosts": true,
"skipComments": true,
"proxy": {
