Reddit Scraper & AI Lead Finder

Scrape Reddit posts and comments by search query, subreddit, user or post URL — no login, no Reddit API key. Every post comes with score, comment count, upvote ratio, author, date and full text, plus free buyer-intent signals. Turn on AI lead finder to get posts where people are actively looking for a product or service like yours, with the reason, the author's pain point and a short human-sounding reply draft.

What you can do with it

• 🎯 Find customers on Reddit. Describe your product once. The AI reads posts like "any recommendations for a CRM?" or "alternative to HubSpot?" and keeps only the ones where the author would likely buy, scored 0 to 10.
• 💬 Get reply drafts. One concrete tip for the person plus a soft mention that you can help. Nothing is posted automatically: you decide what to send.
• 🔎 Monitor topics and brands. Search Reddit-wide or inside chosen subreddits, sort by new, schedule the actor every hour and get fresh mentions.
• 📊 Research a niche. Pull the top posts of any subreddit for a week, month or year with scores and comments, and see what people complain about.
• 🧵 Export discussions. Give post URLs and get the post with its comment threads: author, score, depth and text.
• 🤖 Custom AI filter. Write your own criteria ("people unhappy with their bank's support") and keep only matching posts.

Input

Field	What it does
Search queries	Reddit search, e.g. looking for a crm, "alternative to notion". Reddit operators work (title:, subreddit:, OR). With subreddits set, each query runs inside them.
Subreddits	Names or URLs. Without queries the actor reads the feed: new, hot, top (with time range) or rising.
Users	Usernames or profile URLs: their posts.
Post URLs	The post and its comments.
Sort, Time range	Order and time window (past hour to all time).
Max posts per source / in total	Keep runs and costs predictable.
Include comments	Adds comment rows for every saved post.
Filters	Only last N days, minimum score or comments, must / must not contain words.
AI analysis	Off, Find leads for my product or Custom AI filter.

Search results come from Reddit search and include full text but no score or comment count (Reddit does not return them there). Subreddit, user and post sources include them.

Pricing

Tips

• Phrase queries the way buyers write: "looking for", "recommend", "alternative to", "need help with".
• Use Only posts from the last N days with Sort: New and a schedule to get fresh leads every day.
• Start with minAiScore 7 for leads; lower it if you get too few.
• Reply like a person, not an ad. Reddit communities remove spam, and every subreddit has its own rules on self-promotion.

FAQ

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

Does it post or send messages? No. It only reads public data and writes drafts for you.

Why is a score missing on some posts? Reddit search does not expose scores. Use subreddit feeds when you need them.

Is it legal? It collects publicly available data. Respect Reddit's rules and privacy laws such as GDPR when you store or contact people.
