Reddit Scraper (Apify Actor)
Scrape Reddit posts, comments, subreddits, and user data without login. Uses Reddit’s public JSON API.
Features
- Start URLs (bulk): paste post, subreddit, or user URLs
- Search: optional search terms; sort and time filter
- Proxy: no proxy by default; on block → datacenter → residential (3 retries)
- Output: one dataset item with
metadataanddata(search, subreddit, posts, users, subreddit_info)
Input
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Start URLs | Reddit URLs: posts (/comments/...), subreddits (/r/...), users (/user/...). Supports bulk. |
| Skip comments | Do not fetch comments for post URLs. |
| Skip user posts | Skip user scraping. |
| Skip community | Skip subreddit metadata. |
| Search | Search terms, optional community, sort, time filter. Used when “Ignore start URLs” or no URLs. |
| Limits | Max items to save, posts/comments per page, comment depth, delay. |
| Proxy | Default: no proxy. Configure Apify proxy for fallback. |
Output
One object:
{"metadata": { "timestamp": "...", "config": { ... } },"data": {"search": { "<query>": { "total": N, "posts": [...] } },"subreddit": { "<name>": { "total": N, "posts": [...] } },"posts": { "<post_id>": { "post": {...}, "comments": [...], "total_comments_parsed": N } },"users": { "<username>": { "profile": {...}, "submitted": [...], "comments": [...] } },"subreddit_info": { "popular": [...], "new": [...], "specific": { "<name>": {...} } }}}
How to run
- Open Apify Console → Actors.
- Create or open this actor, set Start URLs (and optional Search / Limits / Proxy).
- Run the actor and check the Log and Output tabs.
Proxy behavior
- Default: no proxy (direct to Reddit).
- If Reddit blocks or rate-limits: switch to datacenter proxy.
- If still blocked: switch to residential proxy and retry up to 3 times.
- After a successful switch, all further requests use that proxy.
Cautions
- Only public data; no login or private content.
- Respect Reddit’s terms and rate limits. You are responsible for compliance.
