• postKarma: karma earned from posts
• commentKarma: karma earned from comments
• totalKarma: post plus comment karma
• accountCreated: account creation timestamp
• cakeDay: the account's cake day (month and day)
• isGold: whether the account has Reddit Premium
• isMod: whether the account is a moderator
• isVerified: verified-email flag, when exposed
• trophies: array of trophy/award names on the profile
• numPostsFetched, numCommentsFetched: how many of each were collected
• recentPosts*: array of the user's recent posts (title, subreddit, score, numComments, permalink, createdAt)
• recentComments*: array of the user's recent comments (body, subreddit, score, permalink, createdAt, link title)
• observedAt: when this user was last seen by the scraper

*The activity arrays appear when Fetch Posts & Comments is enabled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which users can it scrape? Any public Reddit profile. Enter usernames with or without the u/ prefix. Suspended, deleted or private profiles are returned as a record with an error field instead of being silently dropped.

Does it return the user's posts and comments? Yes. With Fetch Posts & Comments enabled, each record includes recentPosts and recentComments arrays, capped by maxPostsPerUser and maxCommentsPerUser.

Can I process many users in one run? Yes. Add every username to usernames and the actor returns one record per user.

What ordering does the activity use? Choose sort (new, hot, top, controversial) to control how the recent posts and comments are ordered.
