## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Reddit Community Lead Extractor

An Apify actor that scrapes Reddit communities (subreddits) and active poster profiles to find leads for sales, marketing, and community-driven outreach.

### Features

- Scrape any public subreddit to discover active community members
- Extract user profiles including karma, account age, bio, and active subreddits
- Discover contact info (emails, phone numbers, websites) from user bios
- Compute an activity score (0–100) to prioritize high-value leads
- Export in JSON, CSV, HubSpot, Apollo, or Salesforce formats

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `subredditUrls` | string[] | `https://www.reddit.com/r/smallbusiness/`, `https://www.reddit.com/r/marketing/` | Subreddits to scrape |
| `maxUsers` | integer | 20 | Max unique user profiles to extract (max 500) |
| `minKarma` | integer | 100 | Minimum total karma threshold |
| `includeBioContacts` | boolean | true | Extract emails/phones/websites from bios |
| `outputFormat` | enum | json | Output format: json, csv, hubspot, apollo, salesforce |

### Output

Each lead record contains:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `username` | string | Reddit username |
| `karma` | integer | Total karma |
| `commentKarma` | integer | Comment karma |
| `postKarma` | integer | Post karma |
| `accountAge` | string | Account age (e.g., "3yr") |
| `bio` | string | User bio/description |
| `emails` | string[] | Emails found in bio |
| `phones` | string[] | Phone numbers found in bio |
| `website` | string | Website found in bio |
| `subreddits` | string[] | Subreddits the user is active in |
| `activityScore` | integer | Lead score 0–100 |
| `profileUrl` | string | Reddit profile URL |
| `scrapedAt` | string | ISO timestamp |

### Activity Score Formula

- **Karma**: 100K+ = 40 pts, 10K+ = 30 pts, 1K+ = 20 pts, 100+ = 10 pts
- **Account Age**: 5yr+ = 20 pts, 1yr+ = 10 pts
- **Has Website**: +20 pts
- **Has Email**: +20 pts

### Usage

```bash
## Local build
npm install
npm run build
npm start
````

### Anti-bot Measures

The actor uses Playwright with stealth launch arguments to reduce detection:

- `--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled`
- Realistic viewport and user-agent
- Network idle waits with jitter delays

### Events

The actor emits `reddit-lead-extracted` events for each profile successfully scraped, enabling real-time integrations.

### Categories

- LEAD\_GENERATION
- SOCIAL\_MEDIA
- MARKETING

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "subredditUrls": [
        "https://www.reddit.com/r/smallbusiness/",
        "https://www.reddit.com/r/marketing/"
    ]
};
