Reddit Search can do a similar trick: "subreddit:gadgets site:amazon.com", sorted by "top"[1]
It finds only posts, not comments. That's a good thing. Comment karma accounts for a comment's entire content. What if the comment gets upvotes for something other than an Amazon link inside it? Post karma is a bit better in this respect.
Reddit Search supports any domain. So you can search any shop. Like vat19.com and etsy.com.
Reddit allows browsing by domain. Like https://www.reddit.com/domain/amazon.com/top/ https://www.reddit.com/domain/amazon.com/top/
Secondly, some subreddits are specifically devoted to product recommendations:
* https://www.reddit.com/r/shutupandtakemymoney/ https://www.reddit.com/r/shutupandtakemymoney/
* https://www.reddit.com/r/IdBuyThat/ https://www.reddit.com/r/IdBuyThat/
* https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonTopRated/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonTopRated/
And Reddit has a JSON output: https://www.reddit.com/r/shutupandtakemymoney.json?sort=top&t=all https://www.reddit.com/r/shutupandtakemymoney.json?sort=top&...

- justboxing 9y ago> And Reddit has a JSON output. I did not know that. Very cool. I tried this for AmazonTopRated => https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonTopRated.json?sort=top&t=all https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonTopRated.json?sort=top&t=all and got a forbidden / 403 error. Turns out that subreddit is "Private" / Invite-only. However, google cache still has links. https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FAmazonTopRated https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.red...
- anton_tarasenko 9y agoReddit can also send RSS: * https://www.reddit.com/r/shutupandtakemymoney.rss?sort=top&t=all https://www.reddit.com/r/shutupandtakemymoney.rss?sort=top&t... AmazonTopRated is invite-only. Hence, no 403.
- faitswulff 9y ago> Comment karma accounts for a comment's entire content. What if the comment gets upvotes for something other than an Amazon link inside it? Case in point: I was just looking at /r/malefashionadvice on the submitted site and found a lot of comments that were upvoted for mocking other users with joke products.
- RikNieu 9y agoIs this a awesome! Is there a resource page on Reddit listing these different kind of queries?
