Reddit Subreddit Scraper

🚀 Reddit Subreddit Scraper

Export the posts of any subreddit. The Reddit Subreddit Scraper saves each post's title, text, author, score, upvote ratio, comment count, date, flair, link, images and video, sorted by hot, new, top, rising or controversial. Turn on comments to get each post's discussion too. Use it for Reddit monitoring, trend tracking, market research, subreddit analysis, lead generation and sentiment analysis. No Reddit account, no API key.

✨ Features

• 📰 Many subreddits per run: names, r/ names or links, each with its own limit.
• 🔀 Sort and time range: Hot, New, Top, Rising or Controversial; Top and Controversial by past hour, day, week, month, year or all time.
• 📈 Up to ~1,000 posts per subreddit: the Actor follows Reddit's own pages to the end of the list.
• 💬 Comments (optional): each post followed by its comments, with depth and parent for the reply tree.
• 🖼️ Media: images, video link, outbound link and domain.
• 🧹 No duplicates: pinned posts and overlapping inputs are saved and charged once.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Enter subreddits, one per line.
2. Pick a sort order (and a time range for Top), and Max posts per subreddit.
3. Run the Scraper and download the posts as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them through the API.

How many posts can I get?

Reddit lists about 1,000 posts per subreddit and sort order (a test on r/technology "Hot" returned exactly 1,000 unique posts). To go further back, run the same subreddit with other sorts (Top by year and all time, Controversial, New). "Rising" is short by nature: Reddit shows visitors who are not logged in only about 25 rising posts. When a subreddit runs out before your limit, or the 1,000 limit is reached, the status message says so.

With comments on, each post also gets up to "Max comments per post" comments. Reddit first shows about 25 comments per post and loads the rest in batches; a full 2,000-comment thread gives about two-thirds of its counted comments (removed comments and replies below depth 5 are not shown to visitors who are not logged in). For whole threads, use Reddit Comments Scraper.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Reddit account or API key? No. This is a Reddit API alternative for public subreddits.

What are feedSort and feedTime? The sort order and time range of the list the post came from, handy when one run scrapes a subreddit in several orders.

Why is body empty for some posts? Link, image and video posts often have no text; linkUrl, images and videoUrl hold the content.

Can I scrape private, banned or 18+ subreddits? No. Private and banned communities are reported in the status message; 18+ communities need a login.

Can I track a subreddit every day? Yes. Schedule the Actor with sort "New"; each run returns the newest posts.

How do I find posts about a keyword? Use Reddit Search Scraper. For all comments of specific posts, use Reddit Comments Scraper.
