❓ FAQ

Q: What format should I use for the community name?

A: Enter the subreddit name without the r/ prefix. For example, use askreddit for r/askreddit, or programming for r/programming. The actor will automatically handle the subreddit lookup. If you receive an error, verify the subreddit exists and is publicly accessible.

Q: Can I collect both posts and comments?

A: Yes. Set posts=true to enable submission harvesting and comments=true if you also want every thread expanded. Note that comments can only be extracted when posts collection is enabled. The actor charges events separately and halts safely if a billing attempt fails.

Q: How long does the scraping process take?

A: Runtime primarily depends on how many posts you request and whether full comment harvesting is enabled. Smaller pulls (tens of posts without comments) usually finish in under a minute, while large runs that fetch hundreds of posts plus complete comment trees can take several minutes because we have to pace requests to avoid throttling.

Q: How can I control costs and estimate pricing?

A: Costs are calculated per resource: Profile ($0.419 one-time), Post ($0.0048 each), and Comment ($0.0012 each). To estimate costs, multiply the expected number of posts and comments by their respective rates, plus the profile fee.
