Reddit Scraper - Posts, Comments, Subreddits & Search

Extract public Reddit data without logging in and without a Reddit API key. Give it subreddits, post URLs, user profiles or search terms and get clean, structured posts, full comment threads, subreddit stats and user profiles. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or plug it into AI agents, n8n, Make and Zapier.

What it does

• Posts: title, author, subreddit, score, upvote ratio, comment count, created/edited date, self-text, external link, domain, flair, images (including galleries), video URL, NSFW/spoiler/stickied/locked flags.
• Comments: the full thread per post, one record per comment, with depth, parentId, isTopLevel, score, author, body, and whether the author is the original poster.
• Subreddits: subscribers, active users, description, creation date, icon and banner.
• Users: link karma, comment karma, total karma, account age, verified/mod/employee/premium flags, plus their submitted posts.
• Search: keyword search across all of Reddit or within one subreddit, sorted by relevance, hot, top, new or most comments, over any time range.
• Filters: post date limit, comment date limit, keyword filter, NSFW toggle, per-source caps and a total-items cap.

Use cases

• Brand and competitor monitoring: what people say about your product
• Market research and pain-point discovery for startups and product teams
• Sentiment analysis and trend tracking
• Lead generation from "looking for a tool that…" threads

Notes

• Only public data is collected. No login or Reddit account is used.
• Records with dataSource: "rss" came from Reddit's RSS feed fallback, used when the JSON endpoint is temporarily blocked. These records have no score, upvote ratio or comment count, and their comments are flat (no depth).
• Reddit returns up to about 1,000 posts per listing and about 500 comments per post request. Very large threads may be partial.
