Reddit Post Scraper — Subreddit Posts & Search

Pull posts from any public subreddit as clean, structured JSON: titles, authors, scores, upvote ratios, comment counts, flair, links, media and more. Sort by hot, new, top or rising, or search a keyword inside each subreddit. No Reddit account or API key needed.

What it does

• Reads the posts of one or more subreddits, up to maxPosts posts from each.
• Optional keyword search restricted to each subreddit, ranked by relevance.
• Returns every post once, even when it shows up in more than one place.
• Accepts subreddit names in any common form: python, r/python or a full https://www.reddit.com/r/python/ link.

Input

Field	Type	Description
subreddits	array of strings	Required. Subreddits to scrape, e.g. python, technology.
sortBy	string	hot (default), new, top (all time) or rising.
searchQuery	string	Optional keyword search inside each subreddit. Leave empty for the normal feed.
maxPosts	integer	Posts to return from each subreddit (1–1000). Default 100.

  "subreddits": ["python", "technology"],

Pricing

Pay per event: you are charged for each post saved to the dataset, and never for duplicates.

Tips

• Use sortBy: new on a schedule to follow a subreddit as it happens.
• Use sortBy: top for the best posts of all time.
• Combine searchQuery with several subreddits to compare how communities talk about the same topic.
