Unlimited Reddit web scraper to crawl posts, comments, communities, and users without login. Limit web scraping by number of posts or items and extract all data in a dataset in multiple formats.
To run the code examples, you need to have an Apify account. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> in the code with your API token. For a more detailed explanation, please read about running actors via the API in Apify Docs.
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
// Initialize the ApifyClient with API token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});
// Prepare actor input
const input = {
"startUrls": [
{
"url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/pasta/comments/vwi6jx/pasta_peperoni_and_ricotta_cheese_how_to_make/"
}
],
"maxItems": 10,
"maxPostCount": 10,
"maxComments": 10,
"maxCommunitiesAndUsers": 2,
"maxLeaderBoardItems": 2,
"scrollTimeout": 40,
"proxy": {
"useApifyProxy": true
}
};
(async () => {
// Run the actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("trudax/reddit-scraper").call(input);
// Fetch and print actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
console.dir(item);
});
})();
