Reddit Wiki, Emojis & Widgets

Pull a subreddit's full wiki, custom emojis, and sidebar widgets. Six self-contained endpoints. Bring your own Reddit Token V2 + matching proxy — Reddit gates these reads behind a logged-in account and binds the Token V2 to the IP that minted it.

Pick the endpoint, fill the matching section, paste your Token V2 + proxy, hit Start.

What you can fetch

Subreddit names accept python, r/python, or the full subreddit URL — paste whichever you have. Wiki page names accept slashes (e.g. config/sidebar, config/description) — pass them verbatim.

1. Wiki Pages — list every page

Lists every wiki page in a subreddit's wiki.

Input: subreddit name.

Returns per page: subreddit, page slug.

Use it when: mapping a community's full documentation, building a wiki index, finding pages worth scraping in detail.

Example

Input

{
  "endpoint": "wiki_pages",
  "pages_subreddit": "python",
  "credentialSource": "vault",
  "accountName": "default"
}

Output (one record per page)

[
  { "endpoint": "wiki_pages", "subreddit": "python", "page": "automoderator-schedule" },
  { "endpoint": "wiki_pages", "subreddit": "python", "page": "config/description" },
  { "endpoint": "wiki_pages", "subreddit": "python", "page": "config/sidebar" }
]

2. Wiki Page — content of one page

The full markdown content + metadata of a single wiki page.

Inputs:

• Subreddit — community name.
• Page — wiki page slug. Slashes allowed (e.g. config/sidebar). Default: index.

Returns: subreddit, page slug, full markdown content (content_md), revising user, revision date, may-revise flag (whether your Token V2's account can edit), and any other metadata Reddit returns for the page.

Use it when: capturing community rules, FAQ docs, megathread bodies, side-by-side wiki diffs, pulling full text into a knowledge base or chatbot.

Example

Input

{
  "endpoint": "wiki_page",
  "page_subreddit": "python",
  "page_name": "index",
  "credentialSource": "vault",
  "accountName": "default"
}

Output (one record — content_md truncated for readability; the full record contains the entire wiki markdown)

{
  "endpoint": "wiki_page",
  "subreddit": "python",
  "page": "index",
  "content_md": "# Welcome to r/Python\nSubreddit dedicated to news about the dynamic, interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, extensible programming language Python…",
  "may_revise": false,
  "reason": "Added link to flair description and flair filtering tutorial",
  "revision_date": 1603402766,
  "revision_id": "0eb54803-14af-11eb-8903-0e3e3e317287",
  "revision_by": {
    "id": "9iikd",
    "name": "IAmKindOfCreative",
    "icon_img": "https://styles.redditmedia.com/t5_1wkqsm/styles/profileIcon_…"
  }
}

3. Wiki Page Revisions — revision history

Revision history for a single wiki page.

Inputs:

• Subreddit.
• Page — wiki page slug (default index).
• Limit — 1 to 100 (default 25).

Returns per revision: subreddit, page, revision ID, timestamp, page name, reason (the editor's note), revision-hidden flag, author.

Use it when: auditing changes, tracking mod activity, monitoring rule rewrites, compliance / change logs.

Example

Input

{
  "endpoint": "wiki_revisions",
  "revisions_subreddit": "python",
  "revisions_page": "index",
  "revisions_limit": 5,
  "credentialSource": "vault",
  "accountName": "default"
}

Output (one record per revision — author shortened for readability)

[
  {
    "endpoint": "wiki_revisions",
    "subreddit": "python",
    "page": "index",
    "id": "0eb54803-14af-11eb-8903-0e3e3e317287",
    "timestamp": 1603402766,
    "reason": "Added link to flair description and flair filtering tutorial",
    "revision_hidden": false,
    "author": { "id": "9iikd", "name": "IAmKindOfCreative" }
  },
  {
    "endpoint": "wiki_revisions",
    "subreddit": "python",
    "page": "index",
    "id": "8be9bb2c-9d34-11ea-8a04-0e3a6f8a9eb6",
    "timestamp": 1590169200,
    "reason": "Minor cleanup of intro paragraph",
    "revision_hidden": false,
    "author": { "id": "9iikd", "name": "IAmKindOfCreative" }
  }
]

4. Wiki Discussions — discussion threads about one page

Reddit threads referencing a specific wiki page (the public discussions tab on the wiki).

Inputs:

• Subreddit.
• Page — wiki page slug (default index).
• Limit — 1 to 100 (default 25).

Returns per thread: subreddit, page, thread ID, fullname, title, author, score, comment count, created timestamp, permalink, URL, body / selftext.

Use it when: tracking conversation around community docs, finding feedback on rule changes, finding pinned discussion megathreads.

Example

Input

{
  "endpoint": "wiki_discussions",
  "discussions_subreddit": "python",
  "discussions_page": "index",
  "discussions_limit": 5,
  "credentialSource": "vault",
  "accountName": "default"
}

Output (typical record when discussions exist — most wiki pages return zero discussion threads, in which case the run succeeds with no records pushed)

{
  "endpoint": "wiki_discussions",
  "subreddit": "python",
  "page": "index",
  "id": "t3_1sx9abc",
  "name": "t3_1sx9abc",
  "title": "Feedback on the new wiki index layout",
  "author": "examplemod",
  "subreddit_name_prefixed": "r/python",
  "score": 42,
  "num_comments": 12,
  "created_utc": 1777800000,
  "permalink": "/r/Python/comments/1sx9abc/feedback_on_the_new_wiki_index_layout/",
  "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1sx9abc/feedback_on_the_new_wiki_index_layout/",
  "selftext": "We've updated the wiki — let us know what you think..."
}

5. All Emojis — custom emojis

A subreddit's full set of custom emojis.

Input: subreddit name.

Returns per emoji: subreddit, emoji name, image URL, user-flair-allowed flag, post-flair-allowed flag, mod-flair-only flag, created-by user.

Use it when: branding capture, mirroring a community's identity, building flair pickers in your own UI, archiving custom emoji sets.

Example

Input

{
  "endpoint": "all_emojis",
  "emojis_subreddit": "python",
  "credentialSource": "vault",
  "accountName": "default"
}

Output (one record per emoji)

[
  {
    "endpoint": "all_emojis",
    "subreddit": "python",
    "name": "cake",
    "url": "https://emoji.redditmedia.com/46kel8lf1guz_t5_3nqvj/cake",
    "user_flair_allowed": true,
    "post_flair_allowed": true,
    "mod_flair_only": true,
    "created_by": ""
  },
  {
    "endpoint": "all_emojis",
    "subreddit": "python",
    "name": "cat_blep",
    "url": "https://emoji.redditmedia.com/p9sxc1zh1guz_t5_3nqvj/cat_blep",
    "user_flair_allowed": true,
    "post_flair_allowed": true,
    "mod_flair_only": true,
    "created_by": ""
  }
]

6. Get Widgets — sidebar widgets

The sidebar widgets payload — one record per widget (rules, mod list, calendar, custom widget, image widget, button widget, etc.).

Input: subreddit name.

Returns per widget: subreddit, widget ID, kind (rules / moderators / calendar / custom / image / button / etc.), short name, styles object, plus the widget-specific payload (e.g. mod list, calendar entries, custom HTML).

Use it when: theme audits, sidebar mirroring, capturing a community's full visual identity, building branded clones.

Example

Input

{
  "endpoint": "get_widgets",
  "widgets_subreddit": "python",
  "credentialSource": "vault",
  "accountName": "default"
}

Output (one record per widget — calendar data array shortened to one event for readability)

[
  {
    "endpoint": "get_widgets",
    "subreddit": "python",
    "id": "widget_id-card-2qh0y",
    "kind": "id-card",
    "shortName": "Community Details",
    "styles": { "headerColor": "", "backgroundColor": "" },
    "description": "The largest Python community for Reddit! Stay up to date with the latest news, packages, and meta information…",

Reddit user auth — required for every endpoint

Every endpoint in this actor requires:

• Token V2 (token_v2 cookie) — your personal Reddit access token.
• Proxy — the proxy you used to mint the Token V2. Reddit binds the Token V2 to the IP that created it, so the proxy IP must match.

Why: Reddit gates wiki / emoji / widget reads behind a logged-in account for many subreddits. Anonymous calls return USER_REQUIRED or 403.

Credential lifetimes

Credential	Lifetime	When to refresh
Token V2 (token_v2 cookie)	~24 hours	Daily — or save a Reddit Session in the Reddit 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 (the Token V2) or reddit_session (the Reddit Session) and copy the Value column.

Proxy formats accepted:

• ip:port:user:pass
• http://user:pass@ip:port
• socks5://ip:port

If the proxy IP doesn't match the Token V2's mint IP, Reddit returns 401 / 403 and the run fails.

Both fields are stored as secrets by Apify and not echoed back in logs.

---

How to run

1. Pick an endpoint in the "What to fetch" dropdown.
2. Open the matching section and fill its fields. Each section is independent — fields outside your chosen section are ignored.
3. Scroll to the Reddit user auth section and paste your Token V2 + proxy (or pick a saved account from the Reddit Vault).
4. Click Start.

Default subreddit is python so the actor runs out of the box (once your Token V2 + proxy are filled in).

---

Output

Results are pushed to the actor's default dataset. View as a table or download as JSON / CSV / Excel / XML.

• Wiki Page / All Emojis / Get Widgets push one record per page / emoji / widget.
• Wiki Pages pushes one record per page slug.
• Wiki Page Revisions / Wiki Discussions push up to your limit records.

Every record is tagged with endpoint so you can tell rows apart at a glance. The most useful columns are placed first so the dataset Table view is readable without scrolling.

---

Common edge cases

• Token V2 + proxy mismatch — Reddit binds the Token V2 to the IP it was minted on. If the proxy IP doesn't match, Reddit returns 401 / 403.
• Mod-restricted wikis — return Reddit's WIKI_DISABLED / 403 rather than a record. Use a public-wiki community for best results, or use a Token V2 from an account that holds mod rights for the target community.
• Custom emojis on some subs require login — when Reddit returns USER_REQUIRED, the actor pushes a single note record explaining the response (rather than failing the whole run).
• Slashes in page names — config/sidebar, config/description, etc. are passed through verbatim. No special escaping needed.
• Suspended account / revoked Token V2 — Reddit returns 401 immediately. Refresh your Token V2 (or save a Reddit Session in the vault for auto-refresh) and rerun.
• Empty results — return zero records. The actor reports an empty result rather than failing.

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. Some or zero records pushed.	Open the dataset to view results.
	"The Actor process failed…"	Validation error or upstream Reddit fault.	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 its timeout. Rare for this actor at default 300 s.	Re-run; consider narrowing inputs or lowering limit.
	"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)

Condition	Cause	Result
Empty result set	Wiki / emoji / widget set is empty for that subreddit.	Run SUCCEEDED, 0 records, no charge.
WIKI_DISABLED / 403	Wiki is mod-restricted or disabled.	Run SUCCEEDED, note record explains the response.
USER_REQUIRED	Subreddit requires login to view custom emojis.	Run SUCCEEDED, note record explains the response.
401 / Token V2 + proxy mismatch	Reddit binds the Token V2 to its mint IP; proxy IP differs.	Run FAILED. Refresh Token V2 from the same IP.
401 / suspended or revoked Token V2	Account suspended, password changed, or token revoked.	Run FAILED. Mint a new Token V2 (or use the vault session).
Validation error: missing subreddit	Required input not provided.	Run FAILED immediately, no charge.

Why this actor is fast

• Speed — 1–3 seconds per call, end-to-end. Pure HTTP to Reddit's API. No browser to boot, no Playwright / Selenium / Puppeteer overhead. Competing browser-based scrapers typically take 15–60 seconds per call.
• Reliability — zero browser flakiness. No headless-Chromium crashes. No JS-render timeouts. No captcha pages. No surprise mid-run failures from a browser quirk.
• Footprint — under 100 MB RAM per run. Most browser-based scrapers need 1–4 GB. Built for reliability behind the scenes — just paste your inputs and run.

---

Pricing

Pay-per-result. You're only charged for records actually pushed to the dataset — failed runs, validation errors, and empty results cost nothing.

Event	Trigger	Price (per 1,000)
result	Each wiki page / emoji / widget / revision / discussion record pushed	$1.99
