Reddit Post Manager V1

Manage your own Reddit posts in one click — 10 self-contained actions: edit body text, delete, save / unsave, set / clear flair, lock / unlock comments, mark / unmark NSFW, mark / unmark spoiler, hide / unhide, report, and toggle reply notifications. One run = one action = one dataset record.

Bring a Reddit Token V2 + matching proxy, or reuse a saved account from the Reddit Vault. Pick the action, paste the target post, hit Start.

---

What you can do

The Post field on every action accepts: full URL (https://www.reddit.com/r/sub/comments/1sys4r2/...), stripped ID (1sys4r2), or t3_ fullname (t3_1sys4r2).

You can only manage posts your account is allowed to manage:

• Edit / delete / save / hide / send-replies — your own posts.
• Lock / NSFW / spoiler / flair — your own posts in some communities, OR any post in a subreddit where your account is a moderator.
• Report — any visible post.

All 10 actions (Reddit account required):

1. Edit post body — replace your self-post's text

Replaces the body markdown of your text post. Only self-posts (text posts) can be edited — link / image / video / gallery / poll posts cannot.

Input: post target (URL / ID / fullname) + new body text (markdown, up to 40,000 chars).

Returns: echoed action + post + truncated text + account name + error info (null on success) + bearer expiry + live per-account rate-limit counters.

Use it when: updating launch posts with new info (EDIT 2: shipped!), correcting typos at scale, refreshing weekly-thread bodies on a schedule, AMA host edits.

Example

Input

{
  "operation": "edit",
  "edit_post": "https://www.reddit.com/r/test/comments/1tc6ncq/",

  "credentialSource": "vault",
  "accountName": "motor_tip8865"
}

Credentials

All 10 actions sign in as your Reddit account. Save it once in Reddit Vault and reuse the name forever, or paste a Token V2 + matching proxy inline for one-off runs.

Credential lifetimes

Credential	Lifetime	When to refresh
Token V2 (token_v2 cookie)	~24 hours	Daily — or save a Reddit Session in the vault and let it auto-refresh
Reddit Session (reddit_session cookie)	~180 days	Roughly twice a year, or when a run reports unauthorized

How to extract these from your browser: open Reddit in Chrome / Brave / Edge / Firefox, then DevTools → Application → Cookies → https://www.reddit.com. Filter by token_v2 or reddit_session and copy the Value column.

Option A — Use saved account (vault) (recommended)

1. Run the Reddit Vault actor once with mode STORE, an account name (e.g. motor_tip8865), your Token V2 (or Reddit Session for auto-refresh), and the matching proxy.
2. In this actor, set Credential source = Use saved account (vault) and Saved account name = motor_tip8865.
3. Token V2 + proxy are pulled from the vault on every run. If you saved a Reddit Session, the Token V2 auto-refreshes whenever it expires.

Option B — Paste Token V2 + proxy inline

1. Set Credential source = Paste Token V2 + proxy.
2. Paste the eyJ… Token V2 cookie value (encrypted by Apify at rest).
3. Paste the Proxy as ip:port:user:pass — must be the same IP that minted the Token V2 (Reddit IP-binds these cookies).

---

How to run

1. Action → pick one of the 10 actions from the dropdown.
2. Fill the matching section (only the chosen action's section matters — the rest are ignored).
3. Pick a Credential source and fill the matching vault or manual fields.
4. Hit Start. One run = one action = one row in the dataset.

---

Output

Every run pushes exactly one record to the run's default dataset. Success and failure both produce a row — the success field distinguishes them.

Front-loaded column	Meaning
success	true if Reddit accepted the action, false otherwise
operation	One of edit / delete / save / flair / lock / nsfw / spoiler / hide / report / sendreplies
post	The post target you supplied (URL, ID, or fullname — passed through)
subreddit	Subreddit name (flair action only)
state	Boolean toggle echoed back (save / lock / nsfw / spoiler / hide / sendreplies)
action	Flair action echoed (add / edit / remove)
reason / text / flair_id / flair_text	Action-specific echoes (truncated to 200 chars for body text)
account_name	Vault account name (or "manual" for inline credentials)
error	Human-readable message on failure, null on success
error_kind	Short error code (UNAUTHORIZED, RATELIMIT, NOT_OWNER, NOT_MOD, NOT_FOUND, …), null on success
bearer_expires_at	When the saved Token V2 expires (helps you spot upcoming refresh)
rate_limit / rate_used / rate_remaining / rate_reset_in_seconds	Live per-account rate-limit counters from Reddit

---

Common edge cases

Edge case	Cause	How it surfaces
Bearer expired	Saved Token V2 past ~24 h, no vault session for auto-refresh	Row with success: false, error_kind: UNAUTHORIZED. Re-save the account in Reddit Vault with a Reddit Session for auto-refresh.
Bearer minted on a different IP	Token V2 minted on a different proxy than the one paired with it	Row with success: false, error_kind: UNAUTHORIZED. Re-mint the Token V2 on the proxy you'll use, save them as a pair.
Not your post (edit / delete / sendreplies)	The post belongs to a different account	Row with success: false, error_kind: NOT_OWNER.
Not a self-post (edit)	You're trying to edit a link / image / video / poll post	Row with success: false, error_kind: NOT_EDITABLE. Only text posts can be edited.
Not a mod (lock / nsfw / spoiler / flair)	Your account isn't a mod of that subreddit AND it isn't your own post	Row with success: false, error_kind: NOT_MOD.
Post not found / deleted	Post ID is wrong, has been removed by Reddit, or never existed	Row with success: false, error_kind: NOT_FOUND.
Reddit rate-limit hit	Per-account write throttle reached	Row with success: false, error_kind: RATELIMIT. Wait — rate_remaining tells you how many calls are left in the current window.
Invalid flair ID	Flair ID doesn't exist in the subreddit's flair templates	Row with success: false, error_kind: INVALID_FLAIR. Re-fetch flair templates and use a valid ID.
Missing required input	Forgot to paste the post URL / new body text / flair ID	Run FAILED immediately, no row pushed, no charge.

Why this actor is fast

• Speed — 1–3 seconds per action, end-to-end. Pure HTTP to Reddit. No browser to boot, no Playwright / Selenium / Puppeteer overhead. Competing browser-based actors typically take 15–60 seconds per call.
• Reliability — zero browser flakiness. No headless-Chromium crashes. No JS-render timeouts. No captcha pages.
• Footprint — under 100 MB RAM per run. Most browser-based actors need 1–4 GB.
• One actor for ten actions. No need to chain ten different actors — pick the action from a dropdown and go.

---

Status & error reference

Run status (Apify-side, shown on the run page)

Status	Apify message	Meaning	What to do
	"Actor succeeded with N results in the dataset"	Run finished, one record pushed.	Open the dataset to view the result.
	"The Actor process failed…"	Validation error or missing required input.	Check the run log. You are NOT charged for failed runs.
	"The Actor timed out. You can resurrect it with a longer timeout to continue where you left off."	Run exceeded timeout (rare — actions are fast).	Re-run; check proxy is reachable.
	"The Actor process was aborted. You can resurrect it to continue where you left off."	You stopped the run manually.	No charge for unpushed results.

Common in-run conditions (visible in run log and output record)

Condition	Cause	Result
RATELIMIT from Reddit	Per-account write throttle hit.	Run SUCCEEDED, failure row with error_kind: RATELIMIT.
Bearer expired / invalid	Saved Token V2 past ~24 h, no vault session for auto-refresh.	Run SUCCEEDED, failure row with error_kind: UNAUTHORIZED.
NOT_OWNER / NOT_MOD	Your account isn't authorized to manage that post.	Run SUCCEEDED, failure row with the matching error_kind.
NOT_FOUND	Post ID is wrong, removed, or never existed.	Run SUCCEEDED, failure row with error_kind: NOT_FOUND.
Validation error: missing post / body / flair ID	Required input not provided.	Run FAILED immediately, no charge.

---

Pricing

Pay-per-result. You're only charged for records actually pushed to the dataset — failed runs, validation errors, and credential errors that never reach Reddit cost nothing.

Event	Trigger	Price (per 1,000)
result	Each row pushed to the dataset (success or failure)	$1.99

Every action — edit, delete, save, flair, lock, NSFW, spoiler, hide, report, sendreplies — is one row, one charge.
