Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a subreddit scraper? This actor searches across all of Reddit by keyword, so you find every mention of a term wherever it appears. A subreddit scraper pulls a community's feed regardless of topic. Use this one to monitor mentions; use a feed scraper to follow specific communities.

Can I search several terms at once? Yes. Add each term to searchQueries and every result carries a matchedQuery field so you know which term found it.

Can I limit the search to certain subreddits? Yes. Fill subreddits to restrict the search to those communities. Leave it empty to search all of Reddit.

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

How many results can I collect? Set maxItems to whatever you need. Each query pages through results and the total is capped by maxItems across all your terms.
