Reddit Search Subreddits Scraper

Search subreddits by keyword. Returns each community's name, ID, title, member count, description, creation date, type, language and icon, 25 per page. Supports fetching multiple pages in a single API call (billed per page).

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
query	string	yes	Search keyword (max 500 characters)
pages	integer	no	Number of pages to fetch, 1-10 (default: 1). Each page returns up to 25 subreddits.

Pricing

This Actor is billed per page of results — $0.003 per page.

• Results come in pages. Use the pages input to choose how many pages to fetch (1–10); more pages means more results.
• You pay $0.003 for each page you fetch, so pages: 3 costs $0.009 and pages: 1 costs $0.003.
• 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 page ($0.003). Other failed runs are free.
