Camas Reddit Search alternative

Camas Reddit Search was a search page built on Pushshift. On Oct 17, 2026 its GitHub Pages site returned 404, camas.unddit.com did not resolve and GitHub had disabled its repository. ChatterAPI reads live Reddit only, so it cannot show text that moderators removed or authors deleted. That text survives only in archives that captured it before removal, such as Arctic Shift and the Pushshift dumps.

What to use now that Camas doesn't work

For removed or deleted text, use an archive that captured it before removal. We can't recover it.
For what a user has public right now, call the user comments endpoint with their username.
For new content, search comments by keyword on a schedule and store what you find. If something is removed later, you still have your copy.

Questions

Is Camas Reddit Search down?

Yes. On Oct 17, 2026 its GitHub Pages site returned 404, camas.unddit.com did not resolve, and its GitHub repository was disabled.

How do I search Reddit comments now?

Reddit's own search covers posts. For comments by keyword, our free Reddit comment search runs in a browser, and the API returns the same results as JSON.

Can ChatterAPI show removed Reddit comments?

No. It reads live Reddit. Since Reddit's change around September 2025, comments a moderator removes no longer appear in the author's public history either, so we can't show removed or deleted text.

Where can I find a deleted Reddit comment?

Only in an archive that saved it before it was deleted, such as Arctic Shift or the Pushshift data dumps. Coverage of recent content varies.
