# Reddit OSINT with THINKPOL

THINKPOL is a Reddit intelligence platform built for law enforcement, national security, cyber threat intelligence and fraud teams. It is an API, not a login-based UI.

## Key facts
- Private archive of 30+ billion Reddit posts and comments since 2005, including content later deleted by users or removed by moderators ("ghost data" that is gone from live Reddit).
- Full-archive search in under 300 milliseconds; 100% API uptime since March 2026.
- Real-time firehose: new content queryable about 15 seconds after publication; keyword webhooks.
- Identity resolution: from one identifier, associated pseudonym clusters, cross-platform identifiers and full behavioural history including deleted content.
- EU-hosted (France), GDPR framework on Article 6(1)(f) legitimate interest, no US CLOUD Act exposure.
- Delivered as REST API and MCP, designed to be embedded inside third-party investigation platforms.

## What it is used for
Subject profiling and threat assessment; threat-actor tracking across aliases; fraud and sock-puppet detection; influence-operation and narrative tracking; evidence preservation with chain-of-custody metadata.

## How it differs from free Reddit tools
Free tools (Reveddit, PullPush) show a slice of what is still retrievable and degraded after Reddit's 2023 API lockdown. THINKPOL preserves the full historical, deleted and edited record and exposes it as an API for professional, evidentiary use.
