It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Reddit Posts, Comments, Subreddit & User Lead Scraper Scrape Reddit posts, comments, subreddit discussions, upvotes, and high-intent buyer leads by subreddit or keyword without cookies. Built for B2B social listening, AI training, and market research. Built for **growth engineers, RevOps teams, SEO/B2B agencies, quantitative researchers, and AI agent pipelines (n8n, Make.com, Clay, Zapier, LangChain, CrewAI, and Claude / Cursor MCP)** that require deterministic, structured JSON output with **zero monthly subscription lock-in**. *** ### Why Use **Reddit Posts, Comments, Subreddit & User Lead Scraper** (`invaluable_rondeau/reddit-posts-comments-subreddit-scraper`)? - **Zero Monthly SaaS Seat Lock-In**: Replace $99–$299/month legacy subscriptions with transparent, fractional Pay-Per-Event pricing (`$0.015` Actor start + `$0.015` per `vendor-trust-audited` event). - **High-Throughput Batch Processing**: Process 8+ targets out of the box or scale to 1,000+ targets via Apify API, webhooks, or scheduled cron jobs. - **AI & RAG Ready Output**: Every dataset item returns clean, normalized, deterministic JSON fields ready for direct ingestion into **Vector Databases, LLM RAG pipelines, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce, Clay, or n8n**. - **Built-in Retry & Fault Tolerance**: Gracefully handles rate limits, redirects, and malformed upstream responses without crashing your batch pipeline. *** ### Key Features & Extracted Data Points 1. **Automated Multi-Target Extraction**: Pass an array of targets (URLs, domains, queries, or IDs) and extract structured intelligence in a single serverless run. 2. **Enriched Metadata & Scoring**: Automatically normalizes timestamps, status flags, authority/sentiment signals, and actionable B2B/research indicators. 3. **Zero-Config Default Prefill**: Click **Start** in Apify Console to immediately test a verified multi-item batch with zero setup required. 4. **Native Automation & Webhook Support**: Trigger via `POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/invaluable_rondeau~reddit-posts-comments-subreddit-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items` and receive an instant JSON array response. *** ### Transparent Pay-Per-Event (PPE) Pricing | Billing Event | Event Key | Price (USD) | Description | | :--- | :--- | ---: | :--- | | **Actor Start** | `apify-actor-start` | **`$0.015`** | Base initialization per Actor run | | **Primary Extraction / Deep Enrichment Event** | `vendor-trust-audited` | **`$0.015`** | Charged per processed target / deep intelligence event | > **Cost Example**: A standard default batch of 8 targets with primary + deep intelligence enrichment costs approximately **`$0.255`** total — covered automatically by your Apify free monthly usage credits. *** ### Example Input (`input_schema.json`) ```json { "subredditsOrQueries": [ "saas", "entrepreneur", "startups", "marketing", "sales", "smallbusiness", "webdev", "artificial" ], "maxPostsPerTarget": 10 } ``` *** ### Example Output Dataset Item ```json { "actor": "invaluable_rondeau/reddit-posts-comments-subreddit-scraper", "title": "Reddit Posts, Comments, Subreddit & User Lead Scraper", "status": "SUCCEEDED", "extractedAt": "2026-10-24T12:00:00.000Z", "dataQualityScore": 98, "categories": ["SOCIAL_MEDIA", "LEAD_GENERATION", "AI"], "structuredIntelligence": { "verified": true, "enrichmentTier": "DEEP_INTELLIGENCE", "readyForRagAndCrm": true }, "_proofnexaNextSteps": { "apifyStoreHub": "https://apify.com/invaluable_rondeau", "webStudio": "https://quant-b2b-risk-gate-api.vercel.app", "remoteMcpEndpoint": "https://quant-b2b-risk-gate-api.vercel.app/mcp" } } ``` *** ### Quick Integration: n8n, Make.com, Clay, cURL & Python #### 1.
