FAQ

How much content can I scrape per user? Up to ~1,000 posts and ~1,000 comments per user. This is a Reddit server-side limit, not an actor limit.

Do I need a Reddit account or API key? No. The actor uses publicly available 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 content.

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

What's the difference between "overview" and separate posts/comments? Overview returns posts and comments mixed in chronological order, which is how Reddit's profile page works. Separate modes give you only posts or only comments.

How is the data structured? One JSON object per post or comment. Posts have title, selftext, num_comments. Comments have body, link_title, parent_id. Both share score, subreddit, permalink, created_utc, and 90+ more fields.
