Reddit Search Scraper

🚀 Reddit Search Scraper

Search Reddit posts by keyword and export the results. The Reddit Search Scraper saves each matching post's title, subreddit, author, score, comment count, date, link and thumbnail, and can add the full post text. Search all of Reddit or one subreddit, sort by relevance, hot, top, new or most comments, and filter by time range. Use it for brand monitoring, market and product research, lead generation, trend tracking, sentiment analysis or AI training data. No Reddit account needed.

✨ Features

• 🔎 Keyword Search: Many queries per run, each with its own limit. Search all of Reddit or a single subreddit.
• 🗂️ Sort and Time Filters: Relevance, hot, top, new or most comments; past hour, day, week, month, year or all time.
• 📝 Full Post Text (optional): Turn on "Include post text" to add the body and the outbound link of link, image and video posts.
• 📈 Past the 250-Post Limit: Reddit lists about 250 posts per search. When you ask for more, the Actor combines other sort orders and narrower time ranges and removes duplicates.
• 📅 Posted After: Keep only posts newer than a date, handy for scheduled monitoring.
• 🧹 No Duplicates: A post found by several queries or sort orders is saved and charged once.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Enter search queries: one keyword or phrase per line.
2. Pick filters: optionally a subreddit, sort order, time range and "Posted after" date.
3. Run the Scraper: download the posts as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them through the API.

⚙️ Input

How many posts can I get?

Reddit shows about 250 posts for one search with one sort order and time range. Up to that, results follow your sort order exactly. When "Max posts per query" is higher, the Actor also searches the other sort orders and narrower time ranges (never wider than the one you picked) and keeps only new posts. For a popular keyword this goes well past 1,000 unique posts (a test for "chatgpt" found about 1,600 in 8 of the combinations). Posts beyond the first ~250 are no longer in one single order, and each row says which sort order and time range found it (searchSort, searchTime). When a search runs out of posts before your limit, the run's status message says how many were found.

💰 Pricing

Pay only for the posts you get. No monthly rental.

Event	Price	What you get
Post	$0.0015 per post ($1.50 per 1,000)	One post with all fields below, text included if on
Actor start	$0.00005 per run	Charged once when the run starts.

Examples: 1,000 posts = $1.50 · 10,000 posts = $15.00. The price is the same with or without the full post text. Posts that were removed before they could be opened are skipped and not charged.

📊 Sample Output Data

With "Include post text" on:

{
    "id": "1vn54hk",
    "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/Notion/comments/1vn54hk/dont_put_anything_important_into_notion/",
    "title": "Don't put anything important into Notion",
    "author": "greatlove8704",
    "authorId": "t2_m5x5t1075",
    "subreddit": "Notion",
    "subredditId": "t5_hds7r",
    "score": 880,
    "numComments": 142,
    "createdAt": "2026-08-13T08:43:27.576Z",
    "isNsfw": false,
    "isSpoiler": false,
    "thumbnail": null,
    "body": "I'm working in a workspace together with teammates and a professor at university, researching AI agents together. Today the workspace suddenly got suspended, and everyone lost all their AI chats. …",
    "linkUrl": null,
    "query": "notion",
    "searchSort": "relevance",
    "searchTime": "all",

}

Without the option, rows have the same fields except body and linkUrl.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Reddit account or API key? No.

Are comments included? No, this Actor saves posts. numComments gives each post's comment count.

Why are some bodies empty? Image, video and link posts often have no text (linkUrl then points to the media or page), and some communities, like r/AskReddit, use title-only posts.

Is the upvote ratio included? No. score (net upvotes) and numComments are included for every post.

Are NSFW posts included? Only when "Include NSFW posts" is on, and only those Reddit shows to visitors who are not logged in.

Can I monitor a keyword every day? Yes. Schedule the Actor with sort "New" and a "Posted after" date, and each run collects only recent posts.
