Reddit Scraper – Subreddit Posts, Comments & Keyword Monitor

Watch any public subreddit and get its posts and newest comments as clean rows: title, text, subreddit, link, the external link of link posts, and the date. Add keywords to keep only the posts and comments that mention your brand, a competitor or a topic. Read straight from Reddit's own public feeds, with no login and no account.

Built for brand and product monitoring in the communities that matter to you, market and content research, lead discovery in niche subreddits, and AI agents that need what people are saying right now.

What you get

• Posts: the newest, hot, top (past hour to all time) or rising posts of each subreddit.
• Comments: the newest comments across the whole subreddit, with the title and link of the post they belong to.
• Keywords: keep only rows that mention one of your keywords, and see which ones in matched. Short words match whole words, so "ai" does not match "said".
• Monitoring: set "Only the last ... hours" to 24 and schedule the run daily (or 1 and hourly) to get only what is new.
• Clean text: HTML removed, link posts get their external link, image posts their preview image.
• Privacy by default: no usernames unless you turn on includeAuthor, which adds the poster's public u/name. u/name mentions and email addresses inside the text always become [user] and [email removed].

Input

Field	What it does
subreddits	r/SEO, SEO or a subreddit link, one per line.
searches	Optional keywords. Only rows that mention one of them are kept.
include	posts, comments or both.
postedWithinHours	Only rows from the last N hours. 0 = any time.

Each subreddit is one feed for posts and one for comments. One run reads up to 20 feeds.

Good to know

• Subreddits, not all of Reddit: Reddit does not let servers use its site-wide search, so keywords filter the subreddits you list. List the communities where your topic is discussed.
• Speed: Reddit allows about one feed a minute per server, and this Actor waits for it instead of working around it. A run with 5 feeds takes about 5 minutes. Schedules suit it well.
• Up to 100 rows per feed (Reddit's feed size): the newest 100 posts or comments, or the top 100 for the time range. For busy subreddits, run more often with "Only the last ... hours".
• No votes or comment counts: Reddit's public feeds do not include them. You get the content, the link and the date.
• Private, banned and quarantined subreddits cannot be read; they get an error row (not charged).
• Usernames are personal data in many countries. If you turn on includeAuthor, use them lawfully (for example under GDPR).
• Not affiliated with Reddit.
