## 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".

### Pricing — Pay Per Event (PPE)

<span style="font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#E29578">$1.49 per 1,000 profiles</span>

### 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 Reddit's public profile endpoint. 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).
