Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

It scans the posts visible on the current page, detects downloadable media, and lets you save videos, images, galleries, and post text without using external downloader sites or extra software. - Save Reddit videos as MP4 files with audio - Download images and gallery media from visible posts - Export post text for notes, research, or archiving - Bulk-download visible assets from the current page - Keep local copies of content before posts get deleted or buried ### Get it Here Get it here: https://serp.ly/reddit-downloader ### Table of Contents - [Why Reddit Downloader](#why-reddit-downloader) - [Features](#features) - [How It Works](#how-it-works) - [Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Download Content from Reddit](#step-by-step-tutorial-how-to-download-content-from-reddit) - [Supported Formats](#supported-formats) - [Who It's For](#who-its-for) - [Common Use Cases](#common-use-cases) - [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) - [Trial & Access](#trial--access) - [Installation Instructions](#installation-instructions) - [FAQ](#faq) - [Notes](#notes) - [About Reddit](#about-reddit) ### Why Reddit Downloader Reddit mixes videos, image posts, galleries, and text across subreddits, threads, and user pages, but it does not give you a clean native export flow. Videos are often split across separate media tracks, image sets can span multiple assets, and post text is tedious to preserve cleanly if you are building a research or archive workflow. Reddit Downloader is built for that exact use case. It scans visible posts on the page, groups the detected assets, and gives you a direct way to save useful Reddit content in standard local formats. ### Features - Video detection for Reddit-hosted posts - MP4 export for Reddit video with audio - Image and gallery asset detection for visible posts - TXT export for post text and metadata - Bulk-download workflow for visible assets on the page - Tabbed popup for videos, images, and text - Source-quality image saving where available - Rescan workflow after loading more posts - Cross-browser support for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Firefox, Whale, and Yandex ### How It Works 1. Install the extension from the latest release. 2. Open Reddit and go to a subreddit, thread, profile, or feed page. 3. Scroll until the posts you want are visible on the page. 4. Open the extension popup to review detected videos, images, and text. 5. Download individual items or save the visible set in bulk. 6. Open the exported files from your Downloads folder. ### Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Download Content from Reddit 1. Install Reddit Downloader from the latest GitHub release. 2. Open Reddit and navigate to the subreddit, post, or profile you want to save from. 3. Scroll until the target posts and media are loaded and visible. 4. Click the extension button to scan the current view. 5. Review the detected videos, images, galleries, and text entries. 6. Download individual items or run a bulk download for everything visible. 7. Open the saved MP4, image, or TXT files from your Downloads folder. ### Supported Formats - Reddit videos: MP4 - Images and gallery assets: source format where available - Post text: TXT Saved exports are designed to be easier to keep, search, and reuse in a normal desktop archive workflow. ### Who It's For - Reddit users saving posts for offline viewing or reference - Researchers archiving discussions and media before they disappear - Content curators collecting media from specific subreddits - Journalists and analysts documenting visible public posts - Anyone who wants a browser-based workflow instead of external downloader sites ### Common Use Cases - Save a Reddit video with audio for offline viewing - Download all images from a gallery post - Export post text into plain text files for research - Bulk-download visible posts from a subreddit page - Archive media and text before a thread is deleted or edited ### Troubleshooting **The extension is not finding a Reddit video** Make sure the post is visible and the media has fully loaded before scanning. **A gallery post is missing some images** Open the post fully or scroll until each asset loads, then rescan. **Bulk download missed some posts** Scroll further so more posts load dynamically, then run the scan again. **The text export looks incomplete** Expand collapsed post content before scanning if you want the full visible text. **The content is restricted or removed** The extension only works on content you can already access in your current Reddit session. ### Trial & Access - Includes **3 free downloads** so you can test the workflow first - Email sign-in uses secure one-time password verification - No credit card required for the trial - Unlimited downloads are available with a paid license Start here: [https://serp.ly/reddit-downloader](https://serp.ly/reddit-downloader) ### Installation Instructions 1. Open the latest release page: [https://github.com/serpdownloaders/reddit-downloader/releases/latest](https://github.com/serpdownloaders/reddit-downloader/releases/latest) 2. Download the extension build for your browser. 3. Install the extension. 4. Open Reddit and navigate to the content you want to save. 5. Use the extension popup to scan and download visible assets. ### FAQ **Can it save Reddit videos with audio?** Yes. Reddit-hosted videos are exported as MP4 files with audio where available. **Can I download gallery posts?** Yes. Visible images from supported gallery posts can be downloaded individually or in bulk. **Can I export post text too?** Yes. Post text can be saved as TXT files for archiving or note-taking. **Do I need extra software?** No. Everything runs through the browser extension. **What if I load more posts by scrolling?** Rescan after scrolling so the newly visible content gets added. ### License This repository is distributed under the proprietary SERP Apps license in the [LICENSE](https://github.com/serpdownloaders/reddit-downloader/blob/main/LICENSE) file. Review that file before copying, modifying, or redistributing any part of this project. ### Notes - Only download content you own or have explicit permission to save - The extension only captures content currently visible and loaded on the page - Scroll to load more posts if you want a larger batch - Video quality depends on what Reddit exposes for that post ### About Reddit Reddit is a community platform built around discussions, media posts, galleries, and shared links. While it is easy to browse in real time, it does not provide a clean built-in export flow for mixed post assets like videos, images, and text together. Reddit Downloader simplifies that process for users who need a local archive workflow. # Actor input Schema ## `listingNotice` (type: `string`): Optional informational field only.
