Reddit Search Scraper

Reddit Search Scraper

Search public Reddit posts by keyword, subreddit, sort order, and time range. Get clean, export-ready results with the title, post text, author, subreddit, links, score, comments, timestamps, media, and moderation flags.

Use it for customer research, market research, brand monitoring, product feedback, content discovery, and community research. No Reddit account or API key is required.

One result is one post. Results are ready to read, filter, and download as JSON, CSV, HTML, or Excel.

Why use it?

• Find real customer complaints and feature requests.
• Monitor a brand, product, or topic across Reddit.
• Research communities before building or marketing something.
• Collect posts for analysis without scrolling through Reddit manually.
• Feed structured posts into your existing workflow.

The result is simple: search in, useful Reddit posts out.

How to run it

1. Open the Actor.
2. Enter a search query.
3. Optionally select a subreddit.
4. Pick the sort order and time range.
5. Set the maximum number of posts.
6. Run it and download the results.

Start with a small result limit. You can always run it again with more posts.

Input

• Search query — required. Any normal Reddit search text.
• Subreddit — optional. Use typescript or r/typescript.
• Sort results by — relevance, hot, top, newest, or most comments.
• Time range — hour, day, week, month, year, or all time.
• Maximum posts — between 1 and 1,000 unique posts.

Output

One result equals one Reddit post. The fields are stable across post types, and missing values are null.

Pricing

This Actor costs $0.002 per saved post, or $2 per 1,000 results, plus a small run-start charge. You pay for posts saved to the default dataset, not for empty results or unused result capacity.

Start with 10 or 20 posts while testing a query, then increase the limit when the results look right.

Limits

This Actor searches public Reddit listings. Results can change as Reddit changes its ranking, removes posts, or applies rate limits. It does not search private communities or return authenticated-only data.
