# Find SaaS buyers asking for software on Reddit

**Use case:** 

Searches Reddit for people asking for software recommendations - 'looking for a CRM', 'HubSpot alternative', 'best project management tool' - and keeps only posts the Jev AI model reads as seeking a recommendation, comparing options or ready to buy. Spam and self-promotion are removed before billing, so you pay only for real leads, each scored for buying intent and pain point.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Reddit Scraper with Jev AI - Sentiment, Intent & Leads](https://apify.com/abdullahbilal-y/reddit-jev-ai-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/abdullahbilal-y/reddit-jev-ai-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
