Reddit Profile Scraper | Bulk Username Lookup (2026)

Built by Clearpath, with 150,000+ combined lifetime runs across Reddit Search, Post & Comments and Subreddit Posts. A specialist suite for Reddit research.

Why choose this actor?

1,000 profiles in under 60 seconds. Turn a username list into structured profile data. Paste names, add profile links or upload a CSV/TXT file to look up accounts in bulk.

Compare the accounts behind the content. Get total, post and comment karma, account creation dates and profile bios. Add moderator and premium status, avatars and other public fields to your research.

Ready to join with your Reddit data. Each profile keeps its username alongside the returned fields, so you can match it to authors in your post and comment datasets. Duplicate usernames are removed before collection.

Quick start

Try three public profiles, then replace the usernames with your own list.

{
  "usernames": [
    "thisisbillgates",
    "GovSchwarzenegger",
    "kn0thing"
  ]
}

Open actor input to paste usernames, add profile URLs or upload a file. Export JSON, CSV or Excel; JSON preserves nested profile details.

Available fields vary by account. To collect an account’s posts and comments, use the Reddit User Content Scraper.

When a Run Returns No Profiles

An empty result is not always the same thing, so every run that returns nothing says why in its status message:

Status message	What it means
No Reddit account exists with that username.	Check the spelling. Deleted accounts also report this.
Couldn't reach Reddit. Please try again in a few minutes.	One or more profiles could not be loaded at all. Retry.
Found N profiles, but part of the run could not be completed.	Some profiles delivered, others were cut short. Raise the run timeout to get the rest.
The run ended before all of the input was processed.	The run hit its timeout before every username was checked. Raise the run timeout and try again.

Every username always produces a row, with a _status field of found, not_found, unavailable or error, so you can tell them apart in the dataset too. A successful run that returned everything sets no status message.

FAQ

How fast is it? 1,000 profiles in about 20 seconds.

Do I need a Reddit account or API key? No. The actor uses publicly available profile data. No login, no API key, no OAuth.

What happens with deleted or suspended accounts? They're included in the output with "_status": "not_found" so you can see exactly which usernames didn't resolve. You're only charged for found profiles.

What input formats are supported? Plain username (spez), prefixed (u/spez, /u/spez, @spez), full URLs (https://www.reddit.com/user/spez), and uploaded CSV/TXT files.

Can I scrape more than 1,000 profiles? Yes. There's no hard limit. The actor scales linearly. 10,000 profiles take about 3-4 minutes.

How is the data structured? One JSON object per username with all public fields Reddit returns. The subreddit field contains nested profile metadata (bio, banner, icon).
