Subreddits

subreddits

Optional

Subreddit names (technology, r/technology), URLs, or several joined by + (pics+homelab, one listing). Posts are listed with the sort and time range below.

Type:array

Search queries

searchQueries

Optional

Keywords searched on Reddit, one query per line, as typed in Reddit's search box. Quotes keep a phrase together ("home assistant"); Strict search below enforces every word.

Type:array

Comment search

commentSearchQueries

Optional

Find COMMENTS containing your keywords, anywhere on Reddit (or in the subreddit above), one query per line: each comment with its text, score, date, parentId and its post's title and URL. Strict search and excluded keywords apply to the comment's text. Reddit's comment search ignores dates except with Search sort New: use New with a time range or date window to monitor.

Type:array

Search only inside this subreddit

searchSubreddit

Optional

Optional. Restrict every search query and comment search to one subreddit (selfhosted, r/selfhosted or its URL).

Type:string

Strict search (exact words only)

strictSearch

Optional

Reddit's search returns loosely related posts (for home assistant, 17 of the top 100 contain it). When on, a post is kept only if its title or text contains EVERY word of the query, as whole words (ai never matches said; case and accents ignored). "Quotes" require a phrase, -word excludes, OR and parentheses group alternatives. Other sorts of the same time range are read to reach your limit. Rejected posts are never charged (counted in OUTPUT as filteredOut).

Type:boolean

Default:false

Strict search and excluded keywords look in

strictMatchIn

Optional

Where the words of a strict search and the excluded keywords must (or must not) appear.

Type:string

Default:titleOrText

Options:

titleOrTexttitle

Users

usernames

Optional

Reddit usernames (spez, u/spez, @spez) or profile URLs: profile card plus post and comment history.

Type:array

Reddit URLs

startUrls

Optional

Any Reddit URL, one per line (plain strings; {"url": …} objects are accepted too). A post URL, redd.it link, share link, gallery or v.redd.it link, or comment permalink returns the post and its COMPLETE comment tree. Subreddit (or just r/name, u/name), search (posts, comments, communities) and user URLs work too.

Type:array

Posts to refresh (no comments)

refreshPosts

Optional

Post URLs, redd.it links or post IDs (1abc234) to re-read without their comments: current score, comment count, flair, edited or removed status. 100 posts per request (1,000 posts = 10 requests). Only maxItems limits this list.

Type:array

Max posts per subreddit, search or user

maxPostsPerSource

Optional

Posts per subreddit or search query, comments per comment search, posts and comments per user history. Reddit lists ~1,000 posts per subreddit sort and ~250 per search; enable 'Go beyond Reddit's listing cap' for more. With 'Only new', this is the window watched.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:100000

Default:100

Optional

Optional hard cap for the whole run, counted in charged results (posts + comments + profiles). Respected exactly. Empty = no global cap.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Type:array

Max. items:200

Go beyond Reddit's listing cap

deepScrape

Optional

When you need more posts than Reddit lists (~1,000 per subreddit sort, ~250 per search), combine extra sorts and time ranges and keep unique posts only. Posts outside the chosen sort may be added: use the date filters for a precise window.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Include comments of every post

includeComments

Optional

For every post found in subreddits, searches, user histories and listing URLs, also scrape its complete comment tree (each comment has parentId and depth). Post URLs always include their comments.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Max comments per post

maxCommentsPerPost

Optional

Empty = the complete thread, even with tens of thousands of comments. 0 returns the post only. With Only new, each run returns up to this many comments of a thread that earlier runs did not return.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Max comment depth

maxCommentDepth

Optional

Empty = all levels. 0 = top-level comments only, 1 = plus direct replies, and so on. Deeper branches are not even requested (faster).

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Comment sort

commentSort

Optional

Order of comments inside each thread (Best is Reddit's default).

Type:string

Default:confidence

Options:

confidencetopnewcontroversialoldqa

Comments posted after

commentsPostedAfter

Optional

Only comments written after this date (2026-10-01, or 12 hours), in threads and user histories. The tree is still walked, so a new reply under an old comment is found (reading stops after 10,000 comments in a row outside your dates); only matching comments are saved and charged.

Type:string

Comments posted before

commentsPostedBefore

Optional

Only comments written before this date.

Type:string

Include user profile card

includeUserProfile

Optional

For each user: one profile record (karma, account age, verified, followers) before their history.

User history

userContent

Optional

Which part of a user's history to scrape.

Type:string

Default:overview

Options:

overviewsubmittedcomments

Output format

outputFormat

Optional

Thread Markdown: one record per post with its whole comment tree as indented Markdown (author, score, date, text), about 7 times fewer characters than the same thread as JSON. A thread too big for one record (over ~20,000 comments) comes as numbered parts. Same price: 1 post + 1 comment per comment included. Profiles stay normal records.

Type:string

Default:items

Options:

itemsthreadMarkdown

Only new since the last run (monitoring)

onlyNew

Optional

Remember what earlier runs of the same watch returned and output only new posts and new comments (with Include comments, also comments that earlier runs did not return under posts already seen; with Max comments per post, each run adds up to that many of them per thread, oldest included). Nothing already delivered is charged again, even after a run that timed out, was aborted or overlapped another. One run per watch at a time: a second one does nothing and charges nothing. Memory: key-value store quarra-reddit-watch of your account. Set a watch name, then schedule the Actor.

Type:boolean

Default:false

Watch name

watchName

Optional

Name of this watch's memory for 'Only new'. Recommended: runs with the same name share it even when you add or remove sources. Empty: the memory belongs to this exact set of inputs and filters, so adding a source starts a new watch that returns everything again (limits, output format and proxy don't count).

Type:string

Connection

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Connection. Keep the default (automatic). Costs are included in the price.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true
