🔴 Reddit Posts, Search, Media & Thread Comments

Monitor public Reddit posts through Reddit's Atom feeds. No Reddit account, OAuth app, API key, cookies, browser or proxy is required.

📤 What you get

• New, Hot, Top, or Controversial subreddit feeds with selectable time windows;
• keyword search globally or within one subreddit;
• 35 analysis-ready fields per post: stable ID, position, title, clean body, original HTML, author, exact timestamp and URLs;
• extracted outbound links/domains, images, videos, combined media, mentioned users/subreddits, and emails;
• post-type classification plus title/body/word counts and post age;
• optional public thread comments embedded inside the paid post row;
• date, keyword, body-length, seen-ID and per-feed result filters;
• Overview and Media dataset views.

⚡ Cost and reliability controls

Only delivered matching posts are charged. Duplicate IDs, old/short filtered rows and failed/private feeds are free. The Actor honors Reddit's X-Ratelimit-Reset response and spaces feed requests to avoid hammering the public endpoint.

🚀 Example

{
  "subreddits": ["python", "r/webdev"],
  "searchQueries": ["API launch", "developer tool"],
  "searchSubreddit": "startups",
  "postedAfter": "2026-08-30",
  "seenPostIds": [],
  "minimumTextLength": 0,
  "sort": "new",
  "includeComments": false
}

🚀 Popular use cases

• lead and opportunity discovery by keyword;
• scheduled ingestion into Sheets, Slack, databases, Make or n8n.
