Reddit User Profile & Post History Crawler Pro

Turn Reddit usernames or profile links into structured user records: split karma, account age, badges, bio and avatar, plus the user's posts or comments with media, awards, upvote ratio, trophies and moderated communities.

Runs on public pages without a Reddit account, login cookie, API key, or proxy setup.

Modes

Mode	What it collects
Posts (submitted)	The user's submitted posts, with optional recent comments.
Overview (overview)	Posts and comments in one record.
Comments (comments)	The user's recent comments only.
Gilded (legacy)	Reddit no longer exposes a gilded feed; accepted for saved tasks and treated as Posts with a warning.

Every mode supports Hot, New, Top and Controversial ordering. Top and Controversial use the timeFilter window.

Error records

user_not_found	Reddit has no profile with that name.
profile_private	The profile is private.
profile_suspended	The account is suspended.
blocked	Reddit blocked every anonymous route for this run.
scrape_failed	The page raised an unexpected error.
no_valid_usernames	The input contained no usable username.

Use cases

• Influence analysis — rank posts by score, comments, awards and upvote ratio.

FAQ

Is this affiliated with Reddit?

No. This is an independent third-party actor that reads publicly available Reddit pages. It is not operated by or affiliated with Reddit.

Do I need a Reddit account, API key, or proxy?

No. The actor reads public pages anonymously. It handles Reddit's network challenges automatically and needs no credentials or proxy configuration from you.

Why is post_count lower than maxPosts?

The profile feed ran out of pages before reaching the limit, or the client-side filters removed posts. filtered_post_count appears when filters removed every post.

Why did a user return no comments?

The account may have no public comments, or Reddit's comments feed may be empty for that profile. section_empty flags the empty feed.

Why is section: "gilded" treated as Posts?

Reddit's current public profile UI no longer has a gilded-only feed. Saved tasks that send gilded keep working as Posts, and the status log explains the substitution.

Why are awarder/awardee karma fields often missing?

Reddit's current public profile header only shows post, comment and total karma for most accounts. Those fields appear only when the page carries them.

Are private or suspended profiles supported?

No. They emit an error record explaining the reason; no personal data is collected from them.

Data source

Public Reddit profile, posts and comments pages. The actor does not use Reddit's OAuth API, does not log in, and does not require cookies.

Legacy input compatibility

Old saved tasks keep working. The actor maps these keys in code:

• username (string) → usernames
• sortBy → sort
• section: "gilded" → submitted
• old sort aliases best / rising / relevance → hot / new / hot

Legacy keys are intentionally not shown in the input form, so the schema only contains fields the actor actually uses.
