Frequently Asked Questions

Which subreddits and posts can it scrape? Any public subreddit, any public search, and any public post URL. Enter subreddit names without the r/ prefix (for example technology, worldnews). Private and quarantined communities are not accessible.

Does it return the full post text? Yes. With Fetch Full Post Text enabled, every self/text post carries its complete selftext body. Link posts have no body text, so selftext is empty for them and the external url is populated instead.

How many posts can I collect? Set maxItems to whatever you need. Each subreddit feed and search returns up to 100 posts per page, and the total is capped by maxItems across all your sources.

Can I filter by time and sort order? Yes. Choose sort (hot, new, top, rising, controversial) and a timeFilter (past hour, day, week, month, year, all). The time window applies to the top and controversial sorts and to search.

What happens with gallery and image posts? Multi-image gallery posts return every image in galleryImageUrls. Single-image and link posts expose their image through thumbnail and url. A post that fails to load is written as a record with an error field instead of being silently dropped.
