Reddit Scraper

Scrape Reddit posts and comments by subreddit, keyword search, user profile or post link — with title, full text, author, date, links and thumbnails. JSON, CSV or Excel. No Reddit login, no API key, no proxy setup.

Built for market and competitor research, brand and keyword monitoring, lead discovery, and AI / LLM datasets. Pay only for the items you get — $1.50 per 1,000 items. Residential proxy cost is included.

How to use it (1 minute)

1. Add one or more Subreddits (startups or a full link), and/or Search keywords, Users or Posts (for their comments).
2. Pick Sort (newest, hot, top...) and Max items per source.
3. Click Start, then download JSON, CSV or Excel — or use the API.

Output example

One row per post or comment:

{
  "type": "post",
  "id": "1wxoasb",
  "fullname": "t3_1wxoasb",
  "subreddit": "SaaS",
  "author": "DataShack",
  "title": "I scraped billions of TikTok videos and profiles by reverse engineering the mobile API",
  "text": "Hey everyone. I'm a data engineer and I've spent the past 8 years reverse engineering TikTok's mobile app...",
  "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/1wxoasb/...",

Comments have "type": "comment" and the same fields; title shows who commented on which post.

Limits (please read)

• No upvote scores or comment counts. This tool uses Reddit's public feeds, which do not include them. You get the content, author, date and links.
• Depth: Reddit shows about 1,000 items per listing. Comments per post: roughly the top 30 that Reddit exposes in its feed.
• Search returns matching posts; its date range follows Reddit's search filter.

FAQ

Can I get only new items every day? Yes — use Newest sort and set Only items since to yesterday. The run stops as soon as it reaches older posts, so scheduled runs stay cheap.

Do I need a Reddit account or API key? No.

Can I use it from code, Make, Zapier or n8n? Yes, through the Apify API and integrations.

Is it legal? It collects only publicly visible content. You're responsible for using it in line with applicable law and Reddit's terms.
