Reddit Scraper — Posts from Subreddits, Users & Links

What does Reddit Scraper do?

Reddit Scraper extracts posts from any subreddit, any Reddit user, or any Reddit link: title, text, score, upvote ratio, comment count, author, flair, media (images, galleries, video), subreddit size and timestamps. You get clean, structured data you can export to a spreadsheet or feed into your own tools.

It runs on the Apify platform, so you get API access, scheduling (e.g. a daily subreddit snapshot), integrations with Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier and Make, and run monitoring, with no Reddit app registration or API quota to manage.

Why use Reddit Scraper?

• Market and product research: see what your audience asks, complains about and recommends in niche subreddits.
• Brand and competitor monitoring: track posts mentioning your brand or competitors over time.
• Content ideas: find the highest-scoring posts in your niche and what formats perform.
• Trend tracking: snapshot the Reddit front page or a subreddit on a schedule.
• Research and data science: build datasets of posts with engagement metrics for analysis or AI training.
• Creator and user research: export a Reddit user's post history.
