## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### 👽 Reddit Profile Scraper – Find Reddit Users & Creators Fast 👤📈

**Reddit Profile Scraper** extracts **public Reddit user profiles** (`reddit.com/user/username`) in minutes. Add your keywords (topic, niche, job title, community or name), set how many profiles you want per keyword and get a clean, deduplicated list of Reddit users with display name, bio, **total, post and comment karma, followers**, avatar, account age, badges and the post where they were found.

Perfect for **marketers, community managers, founders, product researchers, recruiters, PR teams and agencies** looking to find the experts, creators and power users behind the conversations on Reddit.

### ✨ Why this Reddit Profile Scraper?

- 📈 **No more empty results** – many scrapers return only a handful of profiles. This one is built to deliver **volume**: it combines Reddit's own user search with several web search sources and dozens of query variations for every keyword
- 📝 **Posts become profiles** – every Reddit post found in any subreddit is turned into its author's profile, with the post and subreddit that matched your keyword
- 📊 **Karma & audience included** – every profile comes with total, post and comment karma, followers, account age and badges, no extra option needed
- 🤖 **No bots** – AutoModerator and common bot accounts are filtered out
- 🎯 **Unique profiles only** – every user appears once per keyword, no duplicates
- ⚡ **Fast** – keywords are searched in parallel, no Reddit account, login or API key needed
- 🛟 **No lost profile** – if a profile can't be completed, it is still saved with its search data
- 🛑 **Stops exactly at your target** – and stops automatically when no more profiles are available, so you never waste time or money
- 📤 **Export anywhere** – JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, API, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets

### ❓ FAQ

**Is it legal to scrape Reddit profiles?**
This actor only collects information that users have made public on their Reddit profiles and posts. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with privacy and anti-spam laws (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, CCPA…) and with Reddit's terms: have a legitimate reason to contact people, respect each community's rules, personalise your messages and never spam.

**How does it find users from posts?**
Every post found in a subreddit that matches your keyword is opened to read who wrote it, so you also find people whose profile doesn't mention the keyword but whose posts do.

**Why did I get fewer profiles than requested?**
Some niches simply have few Reddit users visible for your keyword. The actor stops automatically when no more profiles exist for your search. To get more, add more keywords (professions, topics, role + topic combinations).

**Do I need a Reddit account or API key?**
No. Just enter your keywords and run the actor.

**Can I schedule it?**
Yes – use Apify Schedules to collect new profiles daily or weekly and send them automatically to Google Sheets, a CRM or a webhook.

### 💰 Pricing

Simple pay-per-result model: you only pay for the profiles you collect.

**Price: $9.99 per 1,000 profiles** 💵
