Coverage spans the entire Reddit user base across all subreddits and languages. Built for recruitment screening, fraud and bot detection, persona and behavior research, influencer-vetting workflows, community intelligence, OSINT investigations, and brand-safety pipelines.

Use Cases & Applications

Persona Research & Recruitment Screening

Reddit Persona Profiling Extract full author metadata including karma, account age, trophy history, and activity across subreddits — building comprehensive Reddit persona datasets for recruitment background research, B2B persona intelligence, and community influence analysis.

Moderator Network Mapping The moderated array reveals subreddit governance roles — identifying community leaders, influential moderators, and Reddit power users for community intelligence research and influencer identification.

Topic Affinity Scoring Extract post and comment histories to build topic-level engagement profiles — mapping author interests, expertise areas, and community participation patterns for B2B persona research and content strategy.

Trust, Safety & Fraud Detection

Account Integrity Screening Use is_suspended, verified_email, post_karma, comment_karma, and created fields together — building account legitimacy scores, bot detection signals, and fraud risk indicators for platform trust and safety pipelines.

Fake Account Detection Low karma + recent account creation + unverified email combination signals — building fake account pattern detection models using structured Reddit author intelligence data.

Community Intelligence Research Map Reddit author activity across subreddits using post and comment histories — building community participation graphs, author-to-subreddit affiliation datasets, and influence network intelligence for social platform research.

FAQ

Can I extract post and comment content?

Yes — the max_posts and max_comments parameters control how many posts and comments are extracted per author with full metadata.

What does max_posts: 0 do?

Setting max_posts: 0 disables post extraction. Only the author profile record is collected. Same applies to max_comments: 0.

How does karma data help with persona research?

post_karma and comment_karma combined with created date reveal account engagement history and authenticity signals — critical for recruitment screening, influencer verification, and fraud detection.

How does this compare to SubReddit Post Scraper?

SubReddit Post Scraper extracts posts from a subreddit. This actor focuses on per-author profile intelligence, karma forensics, and author-level post/comment history extraction.
