## 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

### What does Reddit Email Scraper do?

Reddit Email Scraper turns Reddit into a contact list. Point it at any subreddit, post, profile, or keyword search and it mines post bodies, comment threads, and user profiles for real email addresses — returning only the records that carry one. Each result includes the extracted `emails`, the surrounding text in clean text / HTML / Markdown, and any social profiles and outbound links found alongside. No Reddit account, login, or API key required.

**New to Apify?** [Sign up free](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=1h3gvi) and use the included $5 monthly platform credit to test this actor.

### Key features

<!-- KEY_FEATURES:START -->
- **📧 Email extraction, contact-only output** — returns only Reddit records that contain a real email address, pulled from post bodies, comment threads, and profiles into a clean `emails` array. You pay for contacts, not empty rows.
- **🎯 Built for outreach** — every record is a ready-to-use lead: the email plus the surrounding post or comment so you know the context before you reach out.
- **🔗 Bonus socials & links** — alongside emails, each record carries a structured `socialProfiles` map (LinkedIn, X, GitHub, Instagram…) and `extractedUrls`, for extra outreach signal at no extra cost.
- **🔎 Search, subreddits & profiles** — mine emails from a subreddit feed, a keyword search across Reddit, a single thread, or specific user profiles — mix and match by dropping in any Reddit URL.
- **💬 Comment-thread coverage** — emails are often buried in replies, so the actor scans nested comment threads (with depth and volume controls), not just top-level posts.
- **🤖 AI-ready text** — every body is emitted as clean text, HTML, and Markdown, ready for enrichment, LLMs, and automation pipelines.
- **🧹 Lean, flexible output** — strip empty fields and pick a single description format to keep contact lists small and import-ready.
- **🔑 No login or API key required** — point the actor at any public Reddit URL or search term and run; no Reddit account or app registration needed.
<!-- KEY_FEATURES:END -->

### What data can you extract from reddit.com?

This actor returns **only records that contain at least one extracted email** — every row is a usable contact, not noise. Each record keeps a stable `itemType` (`post`, `comment`, or `user`) so you can tell the source apart inside a single dataset.

- **`emails`** — array of de-duplicated, lowercased email addresses pulled from the body text and any `mailto:` links. Tracking, no-reply, and asset-filename false positives are filtered out.
- **`socialProfiles`** — structured map (`linkedin`, `twitter`, `github`, `instagram`, `facebook`, `youtube`, `tiktok`, and more) parsed from the same text.
- **`extractedUrls`** — outbound (non-Reddit) website links mentioned in the content.
- **Context fields** — `title`, body as text / HTML / Markdown, `score`, `author`, `community`, `createdAt`, and the canonical `url`, so you can see exactly where each contact came from.

Emails appear most often in hiring, freelance, founder, and indie-maker communities (for example r/forhire, r/freelance, r/startups, r/Entrepreneur). Point the actor at the subreddits or searches where your audience shares contact details. Records without any email are skipped, so you only pay for contacts.


### Input

Configure the actor through the input schema in Apify Console.

Key parameters:

- **`startUrls`** — Reddit URLs to scrape — subreddits, post pages, user profiles, community pages, or search result pages. Each URL determines what type of content is fetched.
- **`searchTerms`** — Search Reddit for these terms. Each entry becomes an independent search. Search posts are lightweight discovery records (plus their comments) — see Search Type.
- **`searchType`** — Type of results to return when using Search Terms. Post results are lightweight discovery records — id, url, title, subreddit and NSFW flag — plus their comment threads; scrape a result's URL directly for its full post fields (author, body, score, timestamp). (default: `"posts"`)
- **`sort`** — Sort order for posts and search results. (default: `"hot"`)
- **`time`** — Restrict subreddit-feed results to a time window (applies to Top sort on feeds; search is not time-windowed). (default: `"all"`)
- **`includeNSFW`** — Include posts and communities marked as NSFW (18+). (default: `false`)
- **`postDateLimit`** — Skip posts older than this ISO-8601 date (e.g. "2024-01-01"). Applies to subreddit feeds and post URLs; search results carry no date and are not filtered. Leave blank for no date limit.
- **`maxItems`** — Maximum total records to save across all sources (posts, comments, users, communities). (default: `100`)
- **`maxComments`** — Maximum number of comments to collect from each post page. (default: `200`)
- **`includeCollapsed`** — Expand and include comments that are initially collapsed (controversial or low-score). Enables deeper thread coverage, up to the comment and depth limits you set. (default: `true`)
- **`commentDepth`** — Maximum reply nesting depth to collect (1 = top-level only). (default: `10`)
- **`skipComments`** — Do not collect comments from post pages — output posts only. (default: `false`)
- ...and 5 more parameters

### Input examples

**Emails from a hiring subreddit** — Scan a freelance/hiring subreddit's posts and comments for contact emails.

→ Only r/forhire records that contain an email address.

```json
{

    "freelance available for hire"
  ],
  "searchType": "posts",
  "sort": "new",
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

**Mine a community's comments for emails** — Founder and startup threads often share emails deep in the comments.

→ Email-bearing posts and comments from r/startups.

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/"

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Sort order for posts and search results.

## `time` (type: `string`):

Restrict subreddit-feed results to a time window (applies to Top sort on feeds; search is not time-windowed).

## `skipComments` (type: `boolean`):

Do not collect comments from post pages — output posts only.

## `descriptionFormat` (type: `string`):

Controls which body/description fields are included in output. "all" emits text + HTML + markdown variants.

## `excludeEmptyFields` (type: `boolean`):

Strip null and empty fields from output records to reduce payload size.

## `sentiment` (type: `boolean`):

Score each post and comment for sentiment — adds a `sentiment` field with a numeric score, a label (positive / negative / neutral), and a confidence value. Uses a fast lexicon heuristic.

## `includeRunMetadata` (type: `boolean`):

Append a single run-summary record at the end of the dataset (run ID, timing, item counts). It is marked itemType="runMetadata" and is added in addition to your matching records — filter on itemType to exclude it.

## `appConnector` (type: `string`):

Optional. Pick a connected app under Settings → API & Integrations to receive your scraped Reddit results. Notion is supported today (a run-summary page); other MCP connectors are best-effort as Apify expands its catalog.
