🚀 Performance Tips

Optimize your extraction runs for speed, cost, and data quality with these best practices:

💰 Cost Optimization

• Test First: Start with 5-10 posts to verify search query quality before processing large batches
• Skip Comments: Set comments: false if you only need post metadata to reduce costs by 80-90%
• Refine Queries: Use specific keywords to get more relevant results and avoid processing irrelevant posts

⚡ Speed Optimization

• Limit Posts: Keep max_posts under 50 for faster results (typically completes in 2-5 minutes)
• Recent Content: Use shorter time filters (day, week) for faster processing than "all time"
• Relevance Sort: "relevance" and "hot" sorting typically return results faster than "top" or "new"

🛡️ Data Quality Tips

• Specific Keywords: Use detailed search queries like "Sony WH-1000XM5 review" instead of just "headphones"
• Time Filtering: Use "month" or "week" filters to get recent, relevant discussions
• Comment Context: Enable comments for sentiment analysis to understand the full conversation

📊 Best Practices

• Search Syntax: Use quotes for exact phrases ("best laptop"), OR for alternatives, minus (-) for exclusions
• Multiple Searches: Run separate searches for different product variations or keywords
• Regular Monitoring: Schedule daily/weekly searches to track evolving sentiment and new discussions

❓ FAQ

What can I search for on Reddit?

You can search for anything: product reviews, brand mentions, customer complaints, feature requests, competitor discussions, industry trends, or any topic with Reddit discussions. The search covers all public subreddits.

How many posts can I extract?

There's no hard limit, but we recommend 10-50 posts per search for optimal cost and speed. For larger datasets, run multiple targeted searches with refined keywords.

Are comments included?

Yes! Set comments: true to extract complete comment threads with all replies, votes, and author information. Set to false if you only need post metadata.

How do I find product reviews?

Use specific product names in your query (e.g., "iPhone 15 Pro review", "Tesla Model 3 owner experience"). Sort by "relevance" or "top" and filter by "month" or "year" for recent reviews.

Can I filter by subreddit?

This Actor searches across all subreddits. To limit to specific communities, add the subreddit name to your query (e.g., "laptop review subreddit:laptops").

How accurate is the data?

All data is extracted directly from Reddit with 100% accuracy. Engagement metrics (votes, scores) reflect real-time values at extraction time.

What output formats are available?

The Actor outputs data in JSON format by default. You can export results to CSV or Excel formats using Apify's dataset export features.

How long does processing take?

Processing time depends on the number of posts and comments. Typically:

• 10 posts without comments: 30-60 seconds
• 10 posts with comments: 2-3 minutes
• 50 posts with comments: 5-10 minutes

Can I track brand mentions over time?

Yes! Schedule regular searches with the same keywords to monitor brand sentiment, track emerging issues, and identify trending topics in your industry.

What about private subreddits?

This Actor only accesses publicly available content. Private or restricted subreddits cannot be searched or accessed.
