Reddit Posts & Comments Scraper - Subreddits & Search
Pricing
from $0.90 / 1,000 post scrapes
Reddit scraper for subreddit feeds, keyword search, user submissions and full comment threads. Returns score, upvote ratio, comment count, flair, awards and media URLs per post, with nested comment trees. No login, no API key, no rate-limit quota.
type
Optional
post, comment, summary or error. Filter on this to separate the row kinds.
id
Optional
Reddit's base-36 id, without the t3_ or t1_ prefix.
fullname
Optional
Reddit's prefixed id, e.g. t3_1abcdef for a post or t1_ghijkl for a comment.
url
Optional
Permalink on reddit.com. On a summary or error row, the source that was read.
title
Optional
Post title.
body
Optional
Post self-text, or the comment text. Null on a post that carries no text or whose text was removed; empty string on a removed comment.
postType
Optional
text, link, image, gallery, video or poll, worked out from the post's own media fields rather than from the URL alone.
subreddit
Optional
Subreddit name without the r/ prefix.
subredditSubscribers
Optional
Subscriber count at the time of scraping.
score
Optional
Upvotes minus downvotes. Reddit fuzzes this slightly against vote manipulation.
upvoteRatio
Optional
Share of votes that were upvotes, 0 to 1. The clearest signal of a contested post.
numComments
Optional
Comment count Reddit reports for the post, including replies not returned in the thread.
createdAt
Optional
UTC ISO 8601 timestamp of posting.
editedAt
Optional
UTC ISO 8601 timestamp of the last edit, or null if never edited.
flair
Optional
Link flair text set by the subreddit.
domain
Optional
Domain of the outbound link, or self. for a text post.
linkUrl
Optional
Destination of a link post. Null for text posts.
thumbnail
Optional
Thumbnail image URL. Null when Reddit sends a placeholder instead of a real image.
mediaUrls
Optional
Direct URLs for the post's image, gallery images or video file, entity-decoded so signed CDN links work. Highest fidelity first: the original file rather than Reddit's resized preview. Empty for a text post or an outbound link with no media.
totalAwards
Optional
Number of awards the post received. Reddit retired awards and coins in 2023, so in practice this is 0 on every post, including old ones. Kept because Reddit still sends the field, not because it carries information.
isOriginalContent
Optional
Marked OC by the author.
isSelf
Optional
A text post rather than a link.
isVideo
Optional
Reddit-hosted video.
over18
Optional
Marked NSFW.
spoiler
Optional
Marked as a spoiler.
stickied
Optional
Pinned to the top of the subreddit, or of the comment thread.
locked
Optional
Comments are closed.
archived
Optional
Too old to vote or comment on.
distinguished
Optional
moderator or admin when the author posted with that badge.
removedBy
Optional
Who removed the post: moderator, automod_filtered, deleted, and so on. Null if it is still up.
postId
Optional
Comment rows: the id of the post this comment belongs to, matching a post row's id.
postTitle
Optional
Comment rows: title of the post, so a comment row reads on its own.
parentId
Optional
Comment rows: id of the parent comment, or null for a top-level comment.
depth
Optional
Comment rows: nesting depth, 0 for top level.
isSubmitter
Optional
Comment rows: the comment is by the person who made the post.
replyCount
Optional
Comment rows: direct replies returned for this comment.
commentsTruncated
Optional
Post rows: true when Reddit withheld part of the thread behind a 'load more' stub, so the comments are a subset rather than the whole tree.
sourceKind
Optional
Which input produced this row: subreddit, search, user or post.
sourceLabel
Optional
Human-readable source, e.g. r/programming or search "rust" in r/programming.
postsFetched
Optional
Summary rows: post rows written for this source.
postsScanned
Optional
Summary rows: distinct posts examined, before filtering.
postsFiltered
Optional
Summary rows: posts dropped by the score, type, NSFW or pinned filters. postsScanned minus postsFiltered is what was eligible.
pagesFetched
Optional
Summary rows: listing pages actually read.
stoppedOn
Optional
Summary rows: why the source stopped - complete, listingExhausted, maxPostsPerSource, maxTotalPosts, maxPagesPerSource, chargeLimit, or runTimeout when the run stopped itself to avoid being killed by the platform timeout.
stoppedOnScanLimit
Optional
Summary rows: true when the page budget ran out with pages still to read, so raising maxPagesPerSource would return more.
zeroReason
Optional
Summary rows: why a source returned nothing, so an empty result is never ambiguous. listing-empty-confirmed and subreddit-empty-confirmed mean the subreddit or user was checked against its own record and really does exist; subreddit-quarantined means it exists but is gated; search-matched-nothing, all-posts-filtered-out, charge-limit-reached, run-post-limit-reached, run-timeout-reached, or zero-posts-unconfirmed when even the existence check could not be completed.
input
Optional
Error rows: the input value exactly as supplied.
error
Optional
Error rows: what went wrong, in plain language.
errorClass
Optional
Error rows: bad-input, not-found, banned, private, quarantined, blocked, rate-limited, network or unexpected-response.
scrapedAt
Optional
UTC ISO 8601 timestamp of when this row was collected.
commentsFetched
Optional
Post rows: comment rows written for this post, or null when comments were not requested. Summary rows: total comment rows from the source.
