Everything you need
for Reddit OSINT.

AI Behavioral Analysis

Generate structured behavioral signals from any Reddit account: topical interests, activity patterns, community affiliations, posting cadence — derived from complete public history.

Complete Comment History

Access a user's full public post and comment history — not capped at Reddit's native 1,000-result limit. Boolean filtering, time-range queries, subreddit scope.

Deleted Content Access

Retrieve posts and comments removed from Reddit. Our archive captures content before deletion, giving investigators access to evidence that no longer exists on the platform.

Full-Text Search

Search across 30B+ archived records with Boolean logic, time-range filtering, and content-type segmentation. Sub-300ms response times across the full corpus.

Subreddit Intelligence

Map any subreddit's top contributors, moderators, trending content, and activity patterns. Understand who drives the conversation and how communities evolve.

External Link Mapping

Identify and analyze external URLs referenced in Reddit posts and user histories. Map the web of resources, domains, and platforms cited without performing identity resolution.

How it works

From username
to full profile.

01

Enter a username, keyword, or subreddit

Start with any entry point: a Reddit username, a keyword, a brand name, a subreddit slug, or a known alias. The platform accepts any combination.

02

We query 30B+ archived records in under 300ms

Your request runs against the largest private Reddit archive in Europe. Full-text search with Boolean logic, time-range filtering, and content-type segmentation — including deleted content.

03

AI structures, profiles, and scores the results

Our models profile users, map communities, detect coordinated patterns, and generate structured intelligence — with every signal linked back to source evidence for verification.

04

You receive clean, actionable intelligence

Structured data delivered via REST API or MCP. User profiles, comment exports, subreddit analytics, and search results — with full audit trail and chain-of-custody metadata.

Use cases

Built for teams
who need answers.

Law enforcement

Subject profiling and threat assessment

Build complete digital dossiers on subjects of interest. Surface radicalization signals, community affiliations, and behavioral patterns weeks before they enter formal reporting channels.

Cyber threat intelligence

Threat actor tracking and leak detection

Track threat actors across aliases, detect credential leaks before they reach clients, and monitor extremist communities for coordinated attack planning.

Fraud investigation

Sock puppet and manipulation detection

Uncover coordinated inauthentic behavior, cross-reference accounts against known fraud patterns, and map sock puppet networks operating across subreddits.

Corporate security

Brand protection and insider risk

Monitor brand mentions across thousands of subreddits in real time. Detect counterfeit sellers, IP abuse, and reputation attacks before they escalate.

National security

Influence operations and narrative tracking

Track coordinated information operations, map narrative seeding across communities, and detect foreign influence campaigns using linguistic fingerprinting and network analysis.

Legal and compliance

Evidence preservation and export

Export complete user histories with timestamps and permanent links — even if the original content is subsequently deleted. Chain-of-custody metadata included for legal proceedings.

FAQ

Common questions about Reddit OSINT.

Reddit OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) is the collection and analysis of publicly available information from Reddit to generate actionable intelligence. This includes user profiling, content analysis, community mapping, and full-text search across billions of archived posts. Used by investigators, security teams, and government agencies to uncover insights that standard Reddit search cannot surface.

THINKPOL continuously archives Reddit data — posts, comments, user metadata, and subreddit activity — into the largest private Reddit archive in Europe (30B+ data points). AI models then analyze this data to produce behavioral profiles, detect patterns, and surface intelligence. Everything is accessible via a REST API or MCP server, with sub-300ms response times.

Yes. The legal framework rests on five pillars. (1) GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest: the three-part test is met — legitimate purpose (security intelligence, threat detection, investigative support), necessity, and proportionality (only publicly accessible data, no individual commercial profiling). All collection occurred without bypassing authentication controls. An Art. 14 GDPR notice is published on our site with a deletion request mechanism. (2) Terms of service are unenforceable against a non-signatory: CA Paris, 2 Feb. 2021 (LBC France v. DIRECTANNONCES, n° 17/17688) rejected all of LeBonCoin's ToS, sui generis and unfair competition claims despite scraping 89% of its listings multiple times daily. Meta Platforms v. Bright Data (N.D. Cal., Jan. 2024) confirmed ToS do not apply to logged-off scraping of public data — Meta subsequently dropped all remaining claims including for millions of Instagram records. (3) Ghost data was lawfully collected: content was publicly accessible at the point of archiving; no authentication barrier was crossed. hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn (9th Circuit, Apr. 2022) confirms public data scraping does not constitute unauthorized access. (4) Sui generis database rights (CPI Arts. L.341-1/L.342-1, EU Directive 96/9/CE): substantial investment in building and maintaining the archive creates an independent layer of protection. (5) No US CLOUD Act exposure: data is hosted and incorporated in Europe under French law and is not compellable by the US DOJ (18 U.S.C. §2523) — a structural requirement for European government and defence customers.

Yes. Our archive captures content continuously. Posts and comments deleted from Reddit remain in our archive if they were captured before deletion. This is one of the most operationally significant capabilities for investigations, since Reddit users frequently delete content after sharing sensitive material.

Reddit's native search is limited to recent content and basic keyword matching, with a hard cap of 1,000 results per user. THINKPOL searches across 30B+ archived records spanning years of data, including deleted content. We support Boolean full-text search, time-range filtering, behavioral profiling, subreddit analytics, and alias correlation — none of which Reddit offers.

THINKPOL is used by national security agencies, law enforcement units, CTI teams, defense contractors, financial intelligence units, and corporate security departments. Access is vetted — we do not offer self-serve consumer access. All users sign a contractual agreement governing authorized use.

Yes. The Sovereign Instance tier deploys on-premise or in your sovereign cloud, with dedicated compute and storage. No multi-tenancy, no data egress, full air-gap support — built for classified and Five Eyes-compliant environments.
