Connect Reddit to ClientRadar

ClientRadar reads Reddit through your own logged-in session — no API keys, no scraping service. Here's how to connect Reddit, pick your subreddits, and confirm the radar is running.

ClientRadar finds Reddit leads by reading the subreddits you follow, through your own logged-in browser session — not through Reddit’s API and not through a scraping service. Reddit closed self-serve API access and is actively litigating against scrapers, which is exactly why the session-based approach matters: ClientRadar reads like you scrolling, at a human pace. If you are signed in to Reddit in Chrome, it can read; if you log out, it stops.

Before you connect

  • You’re logged in to Reddit in the same Chrome profile as ClientRadar. Open reddit.com and confirm you are signed in. ClientRadar borrows this session — there is no API key to paste and no password to hand over.
  • You know which subreddits your clients use. Buying-intent posts appear where your prospective clients ask for help. Pick those subreddits so the radar is reading the right communities.

Connect Reddit in four steps

  1. Sign in to Reddit in Chrome. In the same Chrome profile ClientRadar runs in, open reddit.com and make sure you are logged in.
  2. Decide which subreddits to watch. Choose the communities where your clients post when they need what you offer.
  3. Connect Reddit in ClientRadar. Open the Networks view, find Reddit, and connect it. ClientRadar confirms access using your existing Reddit session — no key, no separate login.
  4. Add your subreddits and let it run. Add the subreddits to your radar settings, save, and let scanning run across the day.

If Reddit drops or finds nothing

If Reddit shows needs reconnect, your session ended — sign back in and return to the ClientRadar tab, as in Fix: a platform needs reconnecting. If Reddit is connected but you are not seeing leads, it is usually your keywords, the subreddits you chose, or simply a quiet stretch — work through Scanning isn’t finding any leads. And if Reddit is briefly paused with a resume time, that is the safety layer stepping back on purpose — see Fix: a platform is in a protective cooldown.
