Reddit User Scraper — Profiles, Karma & Full Post History in Bulk

Want the most comprehensive Reddit user scraper on the market? This tool pulls complete public profile data — karma, bio, account age, verification status — together with a user's full post and comment history, for as many usernames as you want, in a single run. It's the fastest way to research any Reddit account without manually clicking through pages of history.

Built for researchers, OSINT investigators, brand teams, recruiters, and community managers who need structured Reddit data on specific users at scale.

What It Does

Reddit User Scraper takes a list of Reddit usernames and returns a rich, structured dataset combining profile metadata with post or comment history. You choose whether to pull a user's submitted posts or their comments, and whether to include the profile summary as its own item. Every result — profile or post/comment — comes back as clean JSON ready to filter, analyze, or export.

This is the tool people use when they need to understand a Reddit account at a glance: who they are, how active they are, what communities they participate in, and what they've actually said.

Features

• Bulk username scraping — analyze dozens of Reddit accounts in a single run
• Full karma breakdown — post karma, comment karma, and total karma
• Complete profile metadata — bio, account age, avatar, banner, verification, moderator, and Reddit Gold status
• Choose posts or comments — pull a user's submitted posts or their comment history
• Rich post/comment data — titles, body text, images, links, flair, scores, timestamps, and subreddit context for everything returned
• Optional profile inclusion — add or skip the profile summary item as needed
• Resumable, checkpointed runs — large multi-user jobs pick up exactly where they left off if interrupted
• No Reddit login or API key required — completely anonymous
• Export instantly — download as JSON, CSV, or Excel

Tips for Best Results

• Set includeProfile to true when you need karma and account-age context alongside activity history
• Use section: comments instead of submitted when you care more about a user's opinions than their original posts
• Keep maxPosts reasonable for very active accounts to control run size and cost
• Batch as many usernames as you need into a single run rather than running them one at a time
• Pair with the Reddit Search Scraper to first discover usernames worth investigating, then run them through this tool

FAQ

Do I need a Reddit account or API key to use this scraper? No. This Reddit user scraper is completely anonymous — no login, cookies, or API key required.

Can I scrape both posts and comments for the same user? Each run collects one section (submitted or comments) per username. Run it twice with different section values if you need both.

What if a username doesn't exist or has been deleted? The scraper skips invalid or deleted accounts gracefully and continues processing the rest of your list.

Can I scrape many usernames in one run? Yes — add as many usernames as you like to the input list and they'll all be processed in the same job.

What export formats are supported? JSON, CSV, and Excel — all downloadable instantly once your run finishes.

Does this include suspended or private accounts? Only public, active Reddit accounts can be scraped, consistent with what's publicly visible on Reddit itself.

How current is the karma and profile data? Every profile is scraped fresh at run time, so karma and account details reflect the latest publicly available data.

Can I track the same users over time to watch how their activity changes? Yes, schedule recurring runs against the same username list to build a timeline of karma growth and posting activity.
