FAQ

Is this suitable for academic research? Yes. The actor scrapes only publicly accessible post data. URNs are included in output to allow traceable citations.

What is the throughput rate? Approximately 60–80 posts per minute under normal conditions.

Can I retrieve individual reactor identities? This actor returns aggregate engagement counts only. The reactions_urn and comments_urn fields in the output can be used with separate actors to retrieve individual user-level data.
