Reddit Scraper — Posts, Comments, Users & Subreddits

Scrape Reddit without login or API keys: posts and comments (with full nested reply threads), user profiles with karma, subreddit data, and search results. Reliable, fast, and priced to beat the alternatives.

Features

• 📋 Subreddit posts — scrape any subreddit sorted by hot, new, top, rising, or controversial, with time filters
• 💬 Comments — full nested reply threads, with "load more" expansion, author, score, and timestamps
• 🔍 Search — Reddit-wide or within a specific subreddit, by relevance, top, new, or comment count
• 👤 Users — profile (karma, account age, verification) plus recent posts and comments
• 🖼️ Rich post data — score, upvote ratio, flair, awards, images/galleries, crossposts, media flags
• ⚡ Reliable & cheap — pure JSON (no browser), residential proxies to avoid blocks, automatic retries

Output

Each post is one dataset item:

{
  "type": "post",
  "id": "abc123",
  "title": "Show HN: I built ...",
  "author": "some_user",
  "subreddit": "programming",
  "score": 2453,
  "upvoteRatio": 0.97,
  "numComments": 312,
  "permalink": "https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/abc123/...",
  "createdAt": "2026-07-01T12:34:00.000Z",
  "selftext": "...",
  "comments": [
    { "author": "u1", "body": "Great work!", "score": 88, "replies": [ … ] }
  ]
}

Users and subreddits are emitted as type: "user" and type: "subreddit" items.

Common use cases

• Market & brand research — monitor mentions and sentiment across subreddits
• Lead generation & community analysis — find and profile active users
• LLM / RAG data — feed posts and comment threads into models
• Trend tracking — watch what rises in any subreddit over time

Notes

Only public data is scraped via Reddit's official OAuth API — reliable and fast, with no login required. Cheap datacenter proxies are used by default (no expensive residential proxy needed).

For heavy usage, register a free Reddit app at reddit.com/prefs/apps and paste its client ID into the "Reddit app client ID" field for a dedicated rate limit.
