## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Reddit Profile Scraper - Extract User Karma, Bio & Account Status

### Overview

The **Reddit Profile Scraper** turns any Reddit username into clean, structured profile data. Paste one or many usernames (or profile URLs) and get karma breakdowns, bio text, avatars, banners, NSFW flags, and account status fields in JSON — ready for pipelines, CRMs, research notebooks, or enrichment jobs.

It is built for growth teams, OSINT analysts, community managers, recruiters researching public Reddit presence, and developers who need reliable Reddit user metadata without browser automation. Accepts plain usernames, `u/` prefixes, `@` handles, and full `reddit.com/user/...` URLs.

Common workflows include enriching lead lists with Reddit reputation signals, monitoring competitor founders or brand advocates, building training datasets of public profiles, and auditing account status at scale. Every run returns **clean, structured JSON** with nested `profile`, `karma`, and `status` objects.

### Features

- Batch scrape multiple Reddit usernames in a single run
- Accepts usernames, `u/` / `@` prefixes, and full profile URLs
- Structured karma split: total, link, comment, awardee, and awarder
- Profile media: avatar, snoovatar, and banner image URLs
- Bio, profile title, subscriber count, and NSFW flag
- Account status flags: verified email, gold/premium, mod, employee, accept followers
- Concurrent workers for fast multi-user jobs
- Graceful handling of missing or private profiles
- Clean nested JSON output — no HTML scraping required

### Use Cases

- **Lead generation** — Enrich outreach lists with public karma and profile signals
- **Recruitment** — Review a candidate’s public Reddit presence and reputation
- **Competitor analysis** — Track founder, employee, or advocate profiles
- **Brand monitoring** — Build watchlists of high-karma community members
- **Sales intelligence** — Qualify social proof before outreach
- **AI training datasets** — Collect structured public profile metadata
- **Academic research** — Study identity, karma distributions, and account attributes
- **Business intelligence** — Maintain directories of key Reddit voices in your niche

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |

| `usernames` | array of strings | **Yes** | — | Reddit usernames to scrape. One per line. Accepts `spez`, `u/spez`, `@spez`, or `https://www.reddit.com/user/spez`. |

**How it works:** Each entry is normalized (URL/`u/`/`@` stripped), deduplicated, then fetched in parallel. Invalid empty entries are skipped.

{

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "usernames": [
    "GoldenChrysus",
    "spez"
  ]
}' |
apify call scrapingdino/reddit-profile-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapingdino/reddit-profile-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
