Reddit Lookup

Research a Reddit account in one run. Give Reddit Lookup a username and it returns a structured research profile for that account: what the account publicly does, what identity signals its activity leaves behind, which usernames and accounts appear to be linked to it, and the evidence behind every one of those signals.

Built by Clearcheck Labs for OSINT researchers, investigators, compliance teams and anyone who needs to understand a Reddit account rather than just read its post history.

What it is for

• Reddit account research - turn a bare username into a structured picture of the account
• OSINT investigations - collect signals, evidence and cross-platform leads in one step
• Digital identity research - see which other handles and profiles line up with the account
• Due diligence - review what an account has publicly revealed about itself
• Profile enrichment - attach Reddit context to a record you already hold
• Investigative workflows - clean JSON output for Make, Zapier, n8n or your own code

What it is not

Reddit Lookup does not identify the real person behind an account, and it does not claim to. It does not access private Reddit data, deleted content, or anything that is not publicly observable. It surfaces signals and the evidence for them, with the confidence values the analysis produced, and leaves the judgement to you.

Result depth varies by account. An account that posts often, links to other profiles and is mentioned elsewhere on the open web produces a rich result. A quiet account with a handful of comments produces a thin one, with most fields returned as unknown. That is a property of the account, not a fault in the lookup.

Input

One field, one account per run. No batches, no arrays.

Field	Required	Description
Reddit username	Yes	The Reddit account to research

All of these are accepted and normalized for you:

hienyimba
u/hienyimba
/user/hienyimba
@hienyimba
https://www.reddit.com/user/hienyimba/

A Reddit username is 3-20 characters and may contain letters, digits, underscores and hyphens. Anything that cannot be a Reddit username is rejected before the lookup runs, so a typo never costs you a search.

Output

One dataset item per run:

Field	What it holds
query	The input you gave, the normalized username, and the Reddit profile URL
matchFound	Whether a public Reddit profile was found and analyzed
collectionSummary	Whether the profile was collected, post and comment counts, external mention count, analysis depth
identity	Possible name, location, gender indicators and age range - each with its own confidence and evidence
professionalIndicators	Possible roles, self-described roles, workplaces and products
publicEmailsFound	Email addresses the account has published itself
possibleSocialAccounts	Other platform accounts that appear to belong to the same person
linkedUsernames	Other usernames associated with the account
crossPlatformMatches	Matched profiles elsewhere, with a match score and the signals behind it
communicationProfile	Tone, style, main topics, technical level and observed behaviour
evidence	Every supporting item: source type, source URL, excerpt and what it supports
limitations	What the analysis could not establish for this account
sourceSummary	A plain-language summary of what was collected
sectionCounts	Item counts per section, handy for filtering and automation
billing	Whether this run was a free-trial search, a paid search, or unmetered

Confidence values come from the analysis itself and are passed through unchanged. Nothing is invented, and an empty section means nothing was returned for it - not that the answer is "no".

Pricing

$0.20 per completed lookup. One run is one lookup, and you are charged at most once.

You are not charged for:

• an invalid or malformed username
• a lookup that could not be completed
• a timeout or a service error
• the Actor's internal polling while it waits for the result

A completed lookup that finds no public profile for the username is still a completed lookup, and is charged.

Free trial

Apify Free-plan users get 3 free completed lookups. After that the Actor stops before running any lookup and asks you to upgrade to a paid Apify plan. Paid-plan users do not use the trial and are charged from the first completed lookup.

Notes on use

Reddit Lookup returns research signals about a publicly visible account. Use it lawfully and proportionately, and do not treat any single field as a fact about a person. Signals, confidence values and evidence are provided so you can form your own judgement - not to replace it.
