Reddit User Profiles Scraper
Scrape Reddit user profiles by username, keyword, or search URL, up to a million per run. Every profile comes with karma, account age, moderator status, and Gold status. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Reddit's official API needs an app registration, OAuth, and rate-limits you. This reads the public user search and profile pages directly, filtered by karma, account age, moderator status, or Gold status, and returns each match in one fixed schema.
| Who uses it | What they scrape Reddit for |
|---|---|
| Market researchers | Which Reddit users are influential in a niche |
| Community managers | Who the active moderators are in a topic area |
| Lead generation teams | Which Reddit users match a buyer persona |
| Academic researchers | How Reddit account characteristics vary by topic |
What it does
This Actor collects Reddit user profiles by username search, keyword search, or direct search URL, and returns each one as a flat row.
- 🔍 Search by username or keyword: find profiles that match a partial name or interest.
- 📊 Karma filters: set minimum and maximum total karma to target established or new accounts.
- 👑 Gold and moderator filters: return only users with Reddit Gold or active moderator roles.
- 🕒 Account age filter: restrict results to accounts created in the past day, week, month, or year.
- 🔗 Direct URL input: paste a Reddit user search URL to replicate an exact query.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your search query and filters. If you set a high minimum karma or a narrow time filter, Reddit may return no matching users. Try broadening the filters or using a more general keyword.
Why did the run stop before reaching maxItems?
Reddit's user search only returns a limited number of results for a query. If you need more profiles, try different keywords or break the search into smaller queries.
Why are some profiles missing fields?
Reddit sometimes hides certain profile details, such as exact account creation date, for privacy or display reasons. The Actor returns whatever is publicly visible.
Why am I getting blocked or seeing errors?
Enable the proxy configuration in Advanced Options and use Apify residential proxies. Also reduce the number of concurrent requests if you are running many searches.
