🔥 Reddit Scraper + Reddit Ads Library - The Only Dual-Mode Reddit Tool on Apify

Reddit content + Reddit Ads Library in one Actor. Every other Reddit scraper on Apify gives you posts and comments. This one also gives you the Reddit Ads Library - the one feature no competitor offers.

Search across all of Reddit · Pull subreddit feeds and full comment trees · Spy on competitor ads. No Reddit account, no API key from Reddit, no Pushshift workarounds.

---

🟢 Two modes, one Actor - what makes this different

	Mode 1: Reddit content 📰💬🔎	Mode 2: Reddit Ads Library 💰🎯
What it does	Scrape any subreddit, every comment thread, search across all of Reddit	Search the official Reddit Ads Library - see real competitor ads, creative, targeting
Why it's special	Works without a Reddit Data API license, no rate-limit pain, no Pushshift detours	Almost unique on Apify - virtually no other actor surfaces Reddit ad creative
Best for	Customer voice research, sentiment analysis, brand monitoring, viral content tracking	Competitor ad-spy on Reddit (still niche, far less competitive than Meta/Google ad-spy markets)
7 modes total	subreddit_posts, subreddit_search, subreddit_info, post_comments, reddit_search	ads_search, ad_details

If you only care about content, you get the cleanest non-API Reddit scraper on the platform. If you also care about ads, you get the only Reddit ad-spy tool on Apify - bundled.

⚡ Why this Actor (vs. Reddit's own API and other scrapers)

• No Reddit account, no Reddit API key. Reddit's official Data API has gotten progressively more restrictive since 2023 - tight rate limits, costly for commercial use, and explicit AI-training prohibitions in their terms. This Actor goes around that pain entirely.
• Reddit Ads Library access - the killer feature that doesn't exist anywhere else on Apify. Filter by industry, budget, format, placement, and objective.
• 7 modes in one actor - subreddit feeds, in-subreddit search, site-wide search, full comment trees, subreddit metadata, ad library search, single-ad detail.
• Comment trees are nested, not flat - the actor reassembles parentCommentId -> replies into a true tree client-side, with depth pruning.
• Pay-per-result - you only pay for what you actually pull, no monthly subscription.
• Sentiment-ready output - comments include scores, awards, OP flag, removed/deleted flags so removal-rate and toxicity analyses work out of the box.

---

🎯 Use cases - by mode

📰💬🔎 Content mode

1. Customer voice research - mine niche subreddits for unfiltered customer language. Reddit is the highest-signal text-social platform for "how real people actually talk about a problem."
2. Sentiment analysis - posts + comments with upvote scores feed straight into sentiment pipelines. Removed/deleted flags let you measure toxicity and moderator activity.
3. Brand monitoring - search across all of Reddit for every mention of your brand, weekly. Cheaper and higher-signal than most listening tools.
4. Viral content tracking - sort by top over day/week/month to see what's catching fire in any subreddit.
5. Subreddit moderator analytics - track your community + competitors' communities (rules, mod lists, post velocity).
6. Academic research / journalism - Reddit is one of the canonical text-social corpora.

💰🎯 Ads Library mode

1. Competitor ad-spy on Reddit - see exactly which creative your competitors are running, what budget tier (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH), what objective (conversions, clicks, video views), and what placements (feed vs. comments).
2. Industry benchmarking - filter by industry (FINANCIAL_SERVICES, HEALTH_AND_BEAUTY, TECH_B2C, etc.) to see who's spending where.
3. Creative ideation - the headline + body + CTA from every ad becomes a swipe file.
4. Format analysis - which industries lean into VIDEO vs. IMAGE vs. CAROUSEL vs. FREE_FORM.
5. First-mover advantage - Reddit ad-spy is far less saturated than Meta or Google ad-spy. The data is there; almost nobody is selling tooling around it yet.

🧭 How the input form is laid out

The input form is grouped into clearly-emoji'd sections. You only fill the section that matches your mode - everything else stays collapsed.

1. STEP 1: What do you want to scrape? - pick the mode. The dropdown labels point you to the section to fill.
2. 📰 Section - subreddit posts / subreddit info / subreddit search (subreddits, sort, time window)
3. 🔎 Section - reddit search / subreddit search (searchQueries, scope, optional restrict-to-subreddit)
4. 💬 Section - post comments (postUrls)
5. 💰 Section - ads library search (adSearchQueries + optional industry/budget/format/placement/objective filters)
6. 🎯 Section - ad details (adIds)
7. ⚙️ Limits - caps on posts, comments, depth, ads (apply to every mode)

Every field title leads with the emoji of the mode it belongs to, every description starts with REQUIRED FOR: or ONLY USED FOR:. Most fields ship with sensible prefills, so for the common cases you can hit Start without typing anything.

🔧 Technical Details

• API Provider: Scrape Creators (https://scrapecreators.com)
• Auth: x-api-key header, configured via SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY env var
• Endpoints used (7):
  • GET /v1/reddit/subreddit/details
  • GET /v1/reddit/subreddit
  • GET /v1/reddit/subreddit/search
  • GET /v1/reddit/post/comments
  • GET /v1/reddit/search

• Pagination: after cursor, propagated automatically until maxPostsPerSubreddit is reached
• Comment tree: assembled client-side with maxCommentDepth pruning + total-node cap
• Subreddit names: accept r/foo, /r/foo, or foo - prefix is stripped silently
• Reddit Ads Library: Reddit caps results at ~30 per query; maxAdsPerSearch is a hard cap on top of that

---

📤 Output

Every row written to the dataset carries two top-level discriminator fields so you can filter cleanly:

Field	Meaning
_recordType	post · post_with_comments · subreddit_info · ad
_sourceMode	The input mode that produced this row (e.g. subreddit_posts, reddit_search, ads_search)

Null fields and empty arrays are stripped before push, so rows are compact and only carry data that's actually present.

🗂 Dataset views (preset tables in the Apify UI)

The Actor ships with five views you can switch between in the dataset preview:

View	What it shows
🗂 Overview	All rows, key columns, sortable. Great first look.
📰 Posts	Subreddit/search posts only - title, author, upvotes, media, flair
💬 Threads	One row per post URL; expand to see the full nested comment tree
💰 Ads Library	Ad ID, advertiser, headline, body, industry, budget, placements, thumbnail
ℹ️ Subreddits	Display name, description, subscriber count, rules, mods

Views are defined in ./.actor/dataset_schema.json.

🗝 Key-value store collections

In addition to the dataset, the Actor writes a few high-value records as standalone JSON files in the run's key-value store, organized by prefix:

Prefix	What's there
RUN_SUMMARY	One JSON object per run - mode, inputs, item count, timestamps
subreddit-<name>	One file per subreddit returned by subreddit_info
thread-<postId>	One file per post returned by post_comments (full nested tree)
ad-<adId>	One file per ad returned by ads_search or ad_details

Defined in ./.actor/key_value_store_schema.json.

🌐 OpenAPI (run the Actor over HTTP)

./.actor/openapi.json is a full OpenAPI 3 description of how to invoke this Actor over Apify's API - including a synchronous run-sync-get-dataset-items endpoint and request/response schemas for every record type. Drop it into Postman/Insomnia/Bruno and you have a typed client in seconds.

❓ FAQ

Q: Reddit's official API got expensive and restrictive. Does this still work? A: Yes. This Actor doesn't touch Reddit's official Data API. Public Reddit data is accessed via Scrape Creators' Reddit endpoints, so you don't need a Reddit account, a Reddit API key, an OAuth app, or any of the rate-limited / pay-per-call pain that came with Reddit's 2023-2024 API changes. Pushshift's death also doesn't affect this Actor.

Q: Why is Reddit's official API a worse path than this Actor? A: Three reasons:

1. Cost. Reddit's Data API charges per call once you exceed free-tier limits, and commercial use can run into thousands of dollars per month.
2. Restrictions. Reddit's Data API Terms explicitly restrict AI training and many commercial uses; this Actor lets you do the data extraction step, with downstream-use compliance left to you.
3. Friction. Setting up a Reddit OAuth app, managing tokens, handling rate limits, and rotating credentials is a project. This Actor is one env var.

Q: What's special about the Reddit Ads Library mode? A: Reddit publishes an official ads transparency feed (similar to Meta's Ad Library), but it's poorly tooled and almost no Apify actor surfaces it. This Actor is one of the only ones that does, with full filter support: industry, budget tier, format, placement, objective.

Q: How does the Reddit Ads Library compare to Meta or Google ad-spy? A: Reddit ad-spy is far less saturated. Meta and Google ad-libraries have dozens of paid third-party tools at $50-$200/month. Reddit has barely any. If you sell into Reddit-active audiences (gaming, tech, finance, niche communities), this is a market the rest of the ad-spy ecosystem hasn't caught up to yet.

Q: How does comment depth work? A: Comments come back as a nested tree. maxCommentDepth=5 keeps replies up to 5 levels deep; deeper threads are pruned. maxCommentsPerPost is a hard cap on total nodes (depth-first counting).

Q: Are deleted/removed comments returned? A: Yes - structure is preserved with isDeleted / isRemoved flags so you can analyze removal rates without breaking thread shape.

Q: Can I train AI on Reddit data? A: Reddit's Data API Terms restrict AI training. Even via third-party APIs, training commercial AI on Reddit content typically requires separate licensing from Reddit. Reddit has actively litigated this - see Reddit v. Perplexity AI. This Actor is not a substitute for a Reddit data license. See Reddit's user agreement and the addendum below.

Q: Is this affiliated with Reddit? A: No.

Q: How do you handle Reddit usernames? A: Returned as-is. Usernames are pseudonymous but should be treated as personal data under privacy law in your downstream processing.

Q: How does pagination work? A: Each listing endpoint returns an after token. The Actor follows it until maxPostsPerSubreddit is satisfied or the cursor exhausts.

Q: What about NSFW / quarantined subreddits? A: Returned as normal. Use isNsfw and isQuarantined flags if you need to filter downstream.

Q: I want a brand-new ad-spy stack across every platform. Where do I start? A: See Related scrapers below - this Reddit Actor is one of four UnseenUser ad-library actors. Combined they cover Meta, LinkedIn, Google, and Reddit ads.

PREAMBLE - UNDERSTANDING THE ARCHITECTURE

Before using the Actor, please understand the technical architecture of the service:

The Data Flow

You (User) → Apify Platform → Actor (software) → Third-Party API → Source Platform
                                                       ↓
You (User) ← Apify Platform ← Actor (software) ← Third-Party API

What Each Party Does

• You (the User): Run the Actor on the Apify platform with input parameters you choose
• Apify: Operates the cloud infrastructure that hosts and executes Actors. Apify is a Czech-incorporated company (Apify Technologies s.r.o.) governed by its own Terms of Service.
• The Publisher (us): Publishes software code (the Actor) on Apify's platform. The Actor is a thin wrapper that translates your input into requests to a third-party API and returns the API's responses to you. The Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure. The Publisher does not store or retain data returned by the Actor. The Publisher does not see, log, or process the personal data of any individuals returned in the Actor's outputs beyond what is incidental to passing the data through.
• Third-Party API Provider: HarvestAPI (https://harvest-api.com) or Scrape Creators (https://scrapecreators.com). These are independent third-party companies that operate scraping infrastructure and return data from source platforms.
• Source Platform: LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Linktree, etc. These are the platforms whose publicly visible data is accessed by the Third-Party API Providers.

Why This Matters

Your relationship with the Publisher is that of a software user to a software vendor. The Publisher has the responsibilities of a software vendor (functional code, accurate documentation) and the limits of one (the Publisher is not responsible for how you use the data you obtain).

---

These Terms operate alongside but do not replace:

• Apify's Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy (governing your relationship with Apify)
• HarvestAPI Terms of Service and Scrape Creators Terms of Service (governing the underlying data infrastructure)
• Source Platform terms (LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.) governing the public data accessed
• Applicable law in your jurisdiction and the jurisdictions of data subjects

These Terms incorporate the actor-specific addendum published in each Actor's individual listing ("Addendum"). In the event of a conflict, the more restrictive provision applies.

---

1. NATURE OF THE SERVICE

1.1 What the Actor Is

The Actor is a software program published on the Apify platform. Each Actor:

• (a) Accepts structured input from you on the Apify platform
• (b) Translates that input into HTTP requests to a third-party API operated by HarvestAPI or Scrape Creators
• (c) Receives HTTP responses from that third-party API
• (d) Returns the response data to you in a structured format on the Apify platform

The Actor's source code is hosted on Apify's infrastructure. The Actor runs in Apify's cloud, not on the Publisher's servers. The Publisher operates no servers running the Actor.

1.2 What the Actor Is Not

The Actor is not:

• (a) A scraping tool - the Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure, proxies, headless browsers, or fake accounts
• (b) A direct connection to any source platform - connections to source platforms are made by HarvestAPI / Scrape Creators
• (c) A data storage or data retention service - the Publisher does not maintain a database of any data the Actor returns
• (d) A licensed access channel to LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X (Twitter), Meta, Linktree, or any other source platform
• (e) Affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by any source platform

1.3 The Publisher's Limited Role

The Publisher's role is limited to:

• (a) Designing and writing the Actor's source code
• (b) Publishing the Actor on the Apify Store
• (c) Maintaining the Actor (updating it when API providers change schemas)
• (d) Providing documentation and customer support via Apify's contact mechanism

The Publisher is a software vendor, similar to a developer who publishes an app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The Publisher is not a data provider, data broker, data processor, or data controller for purposes of GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law, or equivalent.

1.4 The Third-Party API Providers' Role

HarvestAPI (https://harvest-api.com) and Scrape Creators (https://scrapecreators.com) are independent third-party companies. They:

• (a) Operate the actual data scraping infrastructure
• (b) Maintain relationships with source platforms (or accept the operational risk of accessing public data without such relationships)
• (c) Are themselves Apify publishers (HarvestAPI publishes 9+ actors directly; Scrape Creators publishes 10+)
• (d) Provide their own Terms of Service governing their operations
• (e) Are responsible for compliance obligations relating to the data collection itself

The Publisher is a customer of these providers. The Publisher is not their agent, partner, or representative.

---

5. SOURCE PLATFORM TERMS - YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

5.1 Acknowledgment

The Actor accesses publicly visible data on third-party platforms ("Source Platforms") through the Third-Party API Providers (HarvestAPI / Scrape Creators). Source Platforms include LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X (Twitter), Meta/Facebook, Linktree, Komi, Pillar, Linkbio, Linkme, and Amazon.

5.2 Your Sole Responsibility

You acknowledge:

• (a) You are solely responsible for ensuring your downstream use of data obtained through the Actor complies with the Source Platform's Terms of Service
• (b) The Publisher makes no representation that any specific use is permitted under any Source Platform's terms
• (c) The Third-Party API Providers, not the Publisher, bear responsibility for the lawfulness of the data collection itself
• (d) You should review Source Platform terms before commercial use:
  • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement
  • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/global/terms-of-service/en
  • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms
  • X: https://twitter.com/en/tos
  • Reddit: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement
  • Meta: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms
  • Linktree: https://linktr.ee/s/terms/

5.3 Cease-and-Desist Compliance

If you receive a cease-and-desist letter or other legal demand from a Source Platform regarding your use of Actor outputs, you must:

• (a) Cease the contested use immediately
• (b) Notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via UnseenUser's Apify profile contact form (https://apify.com/UnseenUser)
• (c) Cooperate with the Publisher as needed to mitigate
• (d) Not assert against the Publisher any claim arising from your inability to use the Actor for that Source Platform

---

6. DATA PROTECTION - REFLECTING ACTUAL ARCHITECTURE

6.1 Roles Under Privacy Law

For purposes of GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law (PPL) including Amendment 13, and equivalents:

• You (the User) are the Data Controller of any personal data you obtain through the Actor and subsequently process for your own purposes
• HarvestAPI and Scrape Creators are the entities that collect data from source platforms - they bear the responsibilities of data processors or controllers (depending on context) for the collection itself
• The Publisher acts solely as a software vendor, not as a data controller or processor, because the Publisher does not store, retain, or substantively process personal data - the Actor merely passes API responses through

6.2 No Data Retention by the Publisher

The Publisher confirms:

• (a) The Publisher does not maintain a database of personal data obtained through the Actor
• (b) The Actor passes data from the Third-Party API directly to you on the Apify platform - data does not flow through the Publisher's infrastructure
• (c) Apify's standard execution and operational logging may include limited information about Actor runs (input parameters, run duration, data volume) - this is governed by Apify's own privacy practices
• (d) The Publisher does not access, view, or analyze your Actor outputs except as needed for technical support if you specifically share them with the Publisher

6.3 Your Obligations as Data Controller

Where your use of the Actor involves processing personal data, you are responsible for:

• (a) Establishing a lawful basis for your processing (consent, legitimate interest with documented balancing test, contract, etc.)
• (b) Providing transparent notice to data subjects as required by applicable law
• (c) Honoring data subject access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and portability requests
• (d) Implementing appropriate security measures
• (e) Conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments where required
• (f) Appointing a Data Protection Officer if your operations require one
• (g) Registering databases with applicable supervisory authorities
• (h) Honoring opt-out requests for direct marketing
• (i) Cross-border transfer safeguards where data crosses borders

6.4 Israel's Amendment 13 - User Compliance

If your use of the Actor involves Israeli residents' personal data, you must comply with the Privacy Protection Law as amended (Amendment 13, effective August 14, 2025). These obligations are yours as the data controller, not the Publisher's as the software vendor.

6.5 Sensitive Data Targeting Restrictions

You will not use the Actor to specifically target, profile, or build datasets focused on:

• Health or medical conditions
• Religious beliefs
• Political opinions
• Sexual orientation or gender identity
• Genetic or biometric data
• Criminal history
• Children under 16

---

7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

7.1 Actor Code

The Actor's source code, schemas, documentation, and branding are owned by the Publisher. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Actor for permitted purposes during your active subscription/run with Apify.

7.2 Output Data

🛡️ Actor-Specific ToS Addendum - Reddit Intelligence Suite

This addendum supplements the Master Terms of Service V4.0. By running this Actor, you accept both the Master ToS and this addendum.

A. Architectural Disclosure

This Actor is a software wrapper. It accepts your input parameters, calls Scrape Creators' Reddit endpoints (subreddit, posts, comments, ad library, search), and returns the response data to you on the Apify platform. The Publisher does not store, log, or substantively process the data returned.

B. Nature of Data Returned

Subreddit data, posts (with usernames - pseudonymous), comments (with username attribution), search results, and Reddit Ads Library content. Reddit usernames are typically pseudonymous but can be linked to real identities through other data points. Treat usernames as personal data under privacy law in your downstream processing.

C. Permitted Use Cases

Brand mention monitoring and reputation management, sentiment analysis and consumer research, competitive ad intelligence (via Ads Library), academic research, journalism, anti-disinformation tools, subreddit moderator analytics.

D. Specifically Prohibited Uses

In addition to Master ToS Section 4 prohibitions, you may NOT:

• De-anonymize users - attempt to link Reddit usernames to real identities outside legitimate journalism with ethical review
• Build harassment tools for brigading or coordinated attacks
• Train commercial AI/LLMs on Reddit data without complying with Reddit's data licensing terms
• Republish full posts/comments in commercial products that compete with Reddit
• Manipulate subreddit dynamics - vote manipulation, fake account networks, astroturfing
• Generate engagement on competitor ads - click-fraud or ad-spam
• Track individual users' activity across subreddits without lawful purpose

E. Reddit Platform ToS Considerations

Reddit's Data API Terms have changed significantly in 2023-2024 to restrict AI training and commercial scraping. Reddit may consider commercial use - particularly AI training - to violate their Data API Terms. Reddit has actively pursued litigation against companies training AI on Reddit data without licensing (e.g., Reddit v. Perplexity AI). If you intend to train AI models on outputs, license data directly from Reddit instead.

F. Pseudonymity and Personal Data

Reddit usernames are pseudonymous but become personal data when combined with other identifiers, used in contexts where the user's real identity is known, or aggregated across enough posts to identify the individual.

G. Reddit Ads Library - Special Provisions

Reddit Ads Library data is provided by Reddit for transparency purposes. May be used for competitive intelligence and research. May NOT be used to organize click-fraud against competitors or to identify and contact ad-buyers for unsolicited B2B outreach without proper compliance.

H. Sensitive Subreddits

Reddit hosts subreddits dealing with sensitive topics (mental health, addiction, sexuality, politics, religion). Do not specifically target users from sensitive subreddits for marketing or use participation as basis for discrimination.
