Reddit Scraper 🚀

Extract public Reddit data at scale — no login, no API keys, no rate-limit headaches. Point it at subreddits, users, search queries, or plain Reddit URLs and get clean, structured JSON back.

Great for market research, lead generation, trend monitoring, sentiment analysis, training datasets, and competitive intel.

✨ What you can scrape

• Subreddit listings — New, Hot, Top, Rising, or Controversial, with pagination.
• Keyword search — across posts, communities, and users.
• User submissions — everything a given user has posted.
• Community metadata — subscribers, description, creation date, NSFW flag.
• Any Reddit URL — paste a post, subreddit, or profile link; it's auto-detected.
• Nested comments — full comment trees, depth- and count-bounded.
• Media URLs — images and videos (i.redd.it, v.redd.it, imgur, galleries).

Built-in filters: date ranges, keyword filter, NSFW toggle, and per-source caps.

🔧 Example input

{
  "subreddits": ["forhire", "jobbit"],
  "sort": "new",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "includeSelftext": true,
  "includeComments": false
}

Search example:

{
  "searchQueries": ["python developer"],
  "searchFor": ["posts", "communities", "users"],
  "sort": "relevance",
  "time": "month",
  "maxItems": 50
}

You don't have to write JSON — every field is available as a form in the Actor's Input tab, so you can configure and test a run with a few clicks.

📦 Output

Each result is one record in the dataset. The type field is one of post, comment, community, or user.

Post example:

{
  "type": "post",
  "id": "t3_1abcde",
  "subreddit": "forhire",
  "title": "[For Hire] Full-stack developer",
  "author": "some_user",
  "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/forhire/comments/1abcde/...",
  "score": 42,
  "numComments": 7,
  "createdUtc": "2026-07-14T19:02:17+00:00",
  "selftext": "…",
  "flair": "For Hire",
  "nsfw": false
}

Community records include subscribers, users include linkKarma / commentKarma, and comments include body, score, and depth. Per-run statistics are written to the key-value store under STATS.

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or via the API — like any Apify Actor.

💵 Pricing

$1.40 per 1,000 results. Pay only for the data you keep — no monthly fee, no start fee. That's well below the market average (~$3.50 / 1,000) and undercuts the most popular Reddit scrapers on the Store.

⏱️ Usage limits

To keep the service fast and fair for everyone:

• A single run lasts at most ~10 minutes.
• Only one long-running job is processed at a time — if a run is already in progress, start the next one a moment later.
• Keep maxItems / maxPages reasonable for the fastest results.

❓ Notes

• This scraper reads only public Reddit data.
• activeUsers may be null — Reddit does not expose live active-user counts publicly.
• Reddit no longer supports true comment search; searching for comments returns matching posts. Reading a post's own comments works fully.
• Please scrape responsibly and respect Reddit's terms and the subreddits you target.
