Reddit Scraper + AI Lead Finder

Stop scrolling Reddit for leads. Search any subreddits by keyword and get every post scored 1–10 for buying intent by Claude AI — with the pain point extracted and a reply angle suggested.

Paste subreddits and keywords. The Actor searches Reddit, fetches every matching post, and sends each one to Claude AI for buying-intent scoring. You get a ranked list of posts where real people are actively asking about the problem your product solves — with a suggested reply angle for each one.

Why Reddit Leads Are Different

Reddit users state their problems in plain language, unprompted. No cold outreach required — they're already asking for help. This Actor surfaces those conversations and scores them so you work the highest-intent posts first.

• Buying-intent score (1–10) — AI-ranked by how strongly the post signals an active problem that needs a solution
• Pain point extracted — the specific problem the user is describing, in their own words
• Reply angle suggested — a non-spammy way to engage with the post
• Any subreddit, any keyword — not limited to a fixed set of communities
• Schedule-friendly — run on a cron to catch new posts the moment they appear

How It Works

1. You provide subreddit names and keywords
2. The Actor searches Reddit for matching posts and fetches the full post content
3. Claude AI (Haiku) scores each post 1–10 for buying intent, extracts the core pain point, and suggests a reply angle
4. Results land in the Apify dataset sorted by score — highest intent at the top

Reddit Etiquette Note

This Actor reads public posts for research and lead qualification purposes. It does not post, vote, or interact with Reddit on your behalf. How you engage with Reddit users afterward is your responsibility — unsolicited DMs and spammy replies violate Reddit's rules and will get your account banned. Use the reply angles as inspiration for genuine, value-first engagement.
