Why This Actor Is Premium

• It uses public Reddit RSS surfaces that are lighter and more reliable than browser scraping.
• It is built for lead and trend monitoring, not just generic post export.
• It scores buyer-intent phrases such as need, looking for, recommend, alternative, and hire.
• It filters noisy Reddit search results with query-term relevance scoring.
• It supports keyword searches and subreddit monitoring in one run.
• It stores monitoring snapshots outside the paid dataset.
• It keeps billing predictable with a strict Max results cap.

Quick Start

1. Add buyer-intent searches such as shopify automation, need wordpress developer, or hubspot alternative.
2. Add subreddits such as shopify, smallbusiness, SaaS, or entrepreneur.
3. Keep Sort set to Newest for monitoring.
4. Keep Minimum relevance score at 1 for clean output, or set it to 0 for broad research.
5. Set Minimum intent score to 1 when you want stronger lead-generation output.
6. Set Max results to 100 or higher for stronger lead batches.
7. Turn on monitoring when running the Actor on a schedule.

Result Limits And Billing

Max results is a run-level cap, not a guaranteed count.

• The Actor never writes more than Max results.
• The minimum cap is 50 results.
• Users are charged only for rows written to the default dataset.
• Monitoring snapshots and internal notices are stored in a named key-value store.

Monitoring

Monitoring saves a snapshot in reddit-lead-trend-monitor-state.

• First monitoring run creates the baseline.
• Later runs detect newly found posts.
• Output only new posts writes only new post events.

Relevance And Intent

Reddit search can be broad. This Actor keeps output cleaner by scoring each search result:

• relevanceScore counts meaningful query terms found in the post title, content, subreddit, or URL.
• matchedQueryTerms shows which query terms matched.
• intentScore counts buyer-intent phrases such as need, looking for, recommend, alternative, and hire.
• matchedIntentKeywords shows which intent terms matched.

For broad trend research, use Minimum relevance score: 0 and Minimum intent score: 0.

For lead generation, use Minimum relevance score: 1 and Minimum intent score: 1.

Pricing Recommendation

Recommended pay-per-event pricing:

• Start event: $0.005
• Reddit post row: $0.003 per row
• Store discounts: down to $0.0015 per row for higher tiers

That positions the Actor around $3 per 1,000 posts before discounts, with very low runtime cost and healthy margin.

Notes

• Reddit RSS availability can vary by subreddit, query, and Reddit rate limits.
• This Actor does not log in to Reddit and does not access private communities.
• Search RSS can include posts from many subreddits; subreddit RSS focuses on one community.
