Reddit Scraper — ScrapeAtlas

Search public Reddit posts, comments and communities. Read subscriber counts, community details, profiles, posts and nested comments. Schedule requests and export JSON through Apify.

Use this Reddit scraper to power data research and automated reporting. The same Reddit API operations are available through Apify runs, saved tasks and schedules.

Get started

1. Choose an Operation and enter its Request parameters using the Reddit API documentation.
2. Set your Apify spending limit and run the Actor.
3. Export the dataset or full response. No ScrapeAtlas account or customer API key is required.

Example input:

{
  "operation": "redditCommunitySearch",
  "parameters": {
    "query": "technology",
    "limit": 1
  }
}

Results

Each run makes one API request. A successful request saves one dataset row:

{
  "operation": "redditCommunitySearch",
  "httpStatus": 200,
  "response": {
    "success": true,
    "status": "success",
    "data": {}
  }
}

This is an abbreviated shape; response contains the complete API response, including coverage, warnings, nulls and pagination. Partial responses remain partial. Download JSON for nested fields or use Apify’s dataset export options. To continue a paginated operation, use the documented cursor, offset or page parameter in the next run’s request parameters. The OUTPUT key-value record also holds the full response, including API failures; failed API requests mark the Actor run as failed.

Pricing and storage

Pay $0.495 per 1,000 successful requests ($0.000495 each) through Apify. Use the latest build for this price. Each run makes one request. Successful partial responses count as successful requests; failed API requests are not charged. There is no separate ScrapeAtlas credit purchase or API key requirement.

Input parameters and results are stored in your Apify run’s storage. Manage retention, sharing and deletion through your Apify account.
