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 metadata and data (search, subreddit, posts, users, subreddit_info)

Input

FieldDescription
Start URLsReddit URLs: posts (/comments/...), subreddits (/r/...), users (/user/...). Supports bulk.
Skip commentsDo not fetch comments for post URLs.
Skip user postsSkip user scraping.
Skip communitySkip subreddit metadata.
SearchSearch terms, optional community, sort, time filter. Used when “Ignore start URLs” or no URLs.
LimitsMax items to save, posts/comments per page, comment depth, delay.
ProxyDefault: 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

  1. Open Apify Console → Actors.
  2. Create or open this actor, set Start URLs (and optional Search / Limits / Proxy).
  3. 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.
