To import Reddit posts into WordPress, point Ingestics at a subreddit’s public JSON endpoint as an API provider (works on the Free tier), or use the dedicated Reddit adapter on Pro. Either method turns top threads into WordPress posts with title, link, score, and attribution — the raw material for a curated community roundup.

Two ground rules first: link and credit rather than republishing wholesale, and check Reddit’s API terms for your usage level. Then build.

How do you fetch a subreddit with public JSON (Free tier)?

Reddit exposes JSON for any listing by appending .json:

https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/top.json?t=day&limit=10

1. Add an API provider in Ingestics → Providers with that URL, method GET, auth none. Add a descriptive User-Agent header — Reddit throttles generic clients.
2. Preview the response. The items sit at data.children; each post’s fields are under data.children.*.data.
3. Map the fields. title → post title; selftext (text posts) or url (link posts) → content; permalink → source URL for attribution; score and subreddit → content or meta.
4. Fetch in Draft mode and review the first batch before publishing anything.

The t=day and limit parameters are your volume controls — “top 10 of the day” imports a digest, not a firehose.

What does the Pro Reddit adapter add?

Pro includes a dedicated Reddit adapter, so instead of hand-building JSON paths you configure the subreddit and listing directly and get clean, structured fields. Pro also brings the pieces a serious curation workflow needs:

• Content filters — drop posts below a score threshold, or matching unwanted keywords.
• Moderation queue — imported items wait for human approval before publishing.
• Advanced Field Mapper — store score, flair, or comment count in post meta for custom templates.

How do you filter out low-quality threads?

Curation is what separates a useful roundup from noise:

• On Free/Lite, control quality at the source: fetch top.json with a time window rather than new.json, and keep limit small.
• On Pro, add filter rules on mapped fields — minimum score, title keyword excludes.
• On Business, the full 14-rule filter engine and blocked keywords list handle brand-safety at scale.

Publish mode matters too: Draft or Pending (all tiers) keeps a human between Reddit and your homepage; Pro’s moderation queue formalizes it.

How do you schedule and automate the import?

Lite adds scheduled fetching — a daily fetch of the day’s top posts is the natural digest cadence. Rotation spreads multiple subreddit providers across the schedule. Duplicate detection (all tiers) keys on the permalink, so a thread that stays on the top list all week still imports once.

How do you display the Reddit roundup?

Lite unlocks the [auto_api_feed] shortcode, Gutenberg block, and grid layout. A “This week in r/yourniche” category page, or a sidebar block of the latest imported threads, are the common patterns. Shortcode attributes are in the documentation.

For multi-subreddit curation, one provider per subreddit with its own category. Free allows 3 API providers; Lite 10; Pro 25.

Which Ingestics tier does this workflow need?

• Free — public JSON, manual fetch, up to 3 subreddits. Fine for a weekly hand-triggered digest.
• Lite — daily scheduled digests, display shortcodes, 10 subreddits.
• Pro — the Reddit adapter, score/keyword filters, moderation queue.
• Business — blocked keywords and the full 14-rule filter engine for brand-safe curation at scale.

Reddit pairs well with YouTube channel imports for a community content hub, and slots into the broader multi-source aggregator architecture. General API mechanics are in the REST API import guide; more automated publishing workflows are on the use cases hub.
