Reddit Lead Scraper – Buying-Intent Lead Finder

Find people on Reddit who are asking for a product, tool, vendor or service recommendation right now — and get each post scored for buying intent (0–100). No Reddit login, no API key.

Price: $1.00 per 1,000 leads (pay per lead returned; posts below your score threshold are free).

What it does

1. Searches Reddit (all of Reddit or the subreddits you choose) for your keywords combined with buying-intent phrases ("recommend", "alternative to", "looking for", "best").
2. Scores every post for buying intent: explicit asks ("any recommendations", "alternative to X", "switching from", "willing to pay") score high; generic mentions score low.
3. Returns only leads above minIntentScore, newest first.

Input example

{ "keywords": ["crm"], "subreddits": ["smallbusiness","sales"], "timeRange": "week", "minIntentScore": 50, "maxLeads": 50 }

Output fields (one item per lead)

field	meaning
intentScore	0–100 buying-intent score
title, snippet	post title and first 300 chars
matchedKeywords	your keywords found in the post
matchedIntentPhrases	intent phrases that triggered the score
url	link to the Reddit post
subreddit, author, createdAt	where, who, when (ISO 8601 UTC)
postId	Reddit post id

For AI agents / MCP

Call with keywords (required). Use minIntentScore: 70 for explicit purchase intent only. Output is flat JSON; sort by intentScore and reply on Reddit by hand following each subreddit's rules. Typical run: under 1 minute for ≤100 leads.

Use cases

SaaS founders finding prospects, agencies and freelancers finding clients, competitor "alternative to" monitoring, market research on what buyers ask for.

Notes

Uses Reddit's public search feeds politely (rate-limited, max 40 requests per run). Only public posts. Please respect Reddit's rules and don't spam.
