FAQ

Is it legal? It reads public data only: what anyone sees without logging in. How you use it is up to you, and personal data falls under laws like the GDPR, so ask a lawyer if you're unsure.

Do I need a Reddit account or cookies? No. Add your inputs and run.

How fresh is the data? It's fetched when you run the Actor, or comes from a cache at most 1 minutes old.
