Reddit Search Scraper Pro

Search Reddit by keyword or list a subreddit's posts, and get clean structured JSON rows: title, body, score, upvote ratio, comment count, author, exact timestamps, flair and permalinks. Optional top-comment threads per post. No browser needed, runs in seconds.

Why this one

The Reddit search segment's leading fast scraper, fatihtahta/reddit-scraper-search-fast, holds 2,645 monthly users at a 4.2 rating from 21 reviews and charges from $1.19 per 1,000 results. SolidCode's reddit-scraper charges $1.80 per 1,000. Users in this segment keep hitting the same wall: big promises, then censored or missing engagement fields, spotty comment support, and surprise charges for rows that arrive empty.

Reddit Search Scraper Pro sits at $1.50 per 1,000 results, between them, with every engagement field on every row and a hard no-empty-rows guarantee: filtered results are dropped before they are saved, so you are never billed for a row you do not receive.

Pay per event:

Event	Price	When
actor-start	$0.005	Once per run
result	$0.0015	Per post or comment row saved to the dataset

$1.50 per 1,000 results. Filtered rows (below minScore, duplicates) are dropped before they are saved, so you are never billed for a row you do not receive.

Use cases

• Social listening: track every mention of a brand, product or artist across Reddit
• Sentiment analysis: pull post bodies and top comments for LLM pipelines
• Trend research: watch a keyword's top and new posts over rolling time windows
• Community research: list a subreddit's hottest posts with engagement stats

FAQ

Do I need Reddit API credentials or a login? No. The actor fetches Reddit's public JSON endpoints through Apify's unblocking proxy.

Can I mix search queries and subreddits in one run? Yes. Add both queries and subreddits; results carry sourceQuery so you can tell them apart.

How do comments appear? Each comment is its own comment row with postId and postTitle linking it to the parent post.

What counts as a billed result? Every row that reaches your dataset: posts and, when enabled, comments. Rows dropped by minScore or deduplication are never saved and never billed.
