Subreddit Scraper: New Posts and Comments from Any Subreddit

Get the newest posts and comments from any public subreddit, several subreddits per run. Titles, full text, scores, comment counts, authors, flair and links, as clean JSON or CSV. Built for community monitoring, research, content ideas and datasets.

Why this Reddit scraper

• Keeps paging. Subreddit listings here are not stopped at the usual 1,000 items, so a busy community gives you its full recent history in one run.
• Posts, comments or both. Pull the new posts, the new comment stream, or both, for as many subreddits as you list.
• Results in seconds. Runs read from the Redlisten index of public Reddit posts and comments, so a 1,000 result run finishes in seconds instead of minutes, and there is no page loading to time out or get blocked.
• $1.00 per 1,000 results, cheaper on higher Apify plans. You pay for rows in your dataset plus $0.00005 per run, so a run that finds nothing costs next to nothing.
• No login, no cookies, no proxies to set up. Paste your input and run. Nothing to configure, nothing to maintain.
• Clean, flat rows. One row per post or comment, the same fields every time, ready for CSV, Excel, JSON, Google Sheets or a database.
• Works with your stack. Call it from the Apify API, schedule it, or plug it into Make, Zapier, n8n, LangChain or any MCP client.
