Reddit Subreddit Details Scraper

Get a subreddit's details by name or URL. Returns member count, weekly active users, weekly contributions, title, description, full sidebar, creation date, community type, language, icon and banner, NSFW and quarantine flags, and a status saying whether it is active, private, banned or quarantined.

Features

• Real-time Reddit data — results are fetched live at run time, never cached or stale
• No login, cookies, or proxy configuration needed — just provide the input and run
• Each result is pushed as a separate dataset item, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel
• Fast: a typical run finishes in seconds

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
subreddit	string	no	Subreddit name, with or without r/, e.g. Python. Provide exactly one of subreddit or url.
url	string	no	Subreddit URL, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/ (max 500 characters). Provide exactly one of subreddit or url.

Pricing

This Actor is billed per run — a flat $0.003 per run.

• One run returns all matching results for your input, and costs $0.003 — whether it comes back with one result or hundreds.
• You’re only charged when a run succeeds, or when it fails because what you asked for was looked up and doesn’t exist, is private, or isn’t valid: that costs one run ($0.003). Other failed runs are free.
