Reddit Search Scraper — Search All of Reddit by Keyword, Instantly

Need to search Reddit at scale? This is the most comprehensive Reddit search scraper available — search across the entire platform or narrow down to one subreddit, run unlimited keywords in a single job, and get back clean, structured Reddit data in seconds. No login, no API keys, no manual scrolling through search results pages.

Built for marketers, researchers, growth teams, and analysts who need fast, reliable keyword search results from Reddit without the limitations of the native search UI.

What It Does

Reddit Search Scraper runs one or more search queries against Reddit — either site-wide or restricted to a single subreddit — and returns full post data for every matching result: title, body text, author, upvotes, comment count, flair, media, and external links. Add a whole list of search terms and the scraper processes each one independently, merging everything into a single, ready-to-export dataset.

This is the fastest way to turn Reddit's native search into a real, structured data feed you can plug directly into your own tools, dashboards, or research pipeline.

Features

• Search all of Reddit or a single subreddit — leave the subreddit field blank for a global search, or target a specific community like r/AskReddit or r/marketing
• Batch keyword search — run dozens of search terms in one job instead of searching one at a time
• Five sort modes — Relevance, Hot, Top, New, and Comment count
• Time-range filtering — restrict results to the past hour, day, week, month, year, or all time
• NSFW toggle — include or exclude adult content
• Full post-level data — titles, self-text, images, video, flair, upvotes, upvote ratio, comment counts, and author info
• Resumable, checkpointed runs — large multi-query jobs pick up where they left off if interrupted
• No login or API key required — fully anonymous Reddit search
• One-click export — download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel

FAQ

Can I search a specific subreddit instead of all of Reddit? Yes — just enter the subreddit name in searchCommunity and your query will be restricted to that community only.

How many search queries can I run at once? As many as you want — add a list of keywords and each one is searched and combined into a single dataset.

Do I need a Reddit account or API key? No. This is a fully anonymous Reddit search scraper with no login or API key required.

What sort options are available? Relevance, Hot, Top, New, and Comment count — matching Reddit's own native search sort options.

Can I filter by time range? Yes, choose from past hour, day, week, month, year, or all time.

What formats can I export results in? JSON, CSV, and Excel are all supported for instant download after your run.

Does this include NSFW search results? Only if you enable the "Include NSFW results" toggle — it's disabled by default.

Can I run recurring searches to track a keyword over time? Yes, schedule repeated runs of the same query to build a timeline of how a topic or keyword trends across Reddit.

Why Teams Choose This Scraper

Reddit's own search UI caps how much you can see and offers no easy way to export results. Reddit Search Scraper removes that ceiling entirely — search unlimited keywords, across unlimited subreddits, and walk away with a clean, structured dataset instead of a scrollable web page. It's built for teams who treat Reddit as a serious data source, not just a place to browse.

Getting Started

Add your search queries, optionally restrict to a subreddit, pick a sort order and time range, then run. Results land in your dataset in real time and are ready to export the moment your job finishes.

A Note on Reliability

Reddit search results can vary wildly in volume depending on how popular a keyword is — from a handful of niche mentions to thousands of matching posts across the platform. This scraper is built to handle both ends of that spectrum consistently, so whether you're tracking an obscure term or a viral keyword, you get complete, reliable results every run.
