Documentation
⭐ For bulk mode and higher limits, use actor canadesk/reddit-bulk instead! 🛑 Reddit does not respond well to high-volume scraping. Keep the limit low and chain requests instead. ## Features - Search for Keywords Set Keywords, Mode and Limit. In the raw data, field "kind" differentiates t3 (Post) from t1 (Comment). - Get Subreddit Posts Set Keywords, Category, Mode and Limit. - Get Post Details Set Post URL and Mode. - Get User Posts Set User ID, Mode and Limit. ## Examples You can also fetch raw data instead. Get Subreddit Posts returns: [ { "title": "Was Alonzo Harris from Training day once a good man", "author": "Lower-Adhesiveness-3", "permalink": "/r/movies/comments/1hgmfpt/was_alonzo_harris_from_training_day_once_a_good/", "score": 4, "comments": 4, "timestamp": 1734473853 }, { "title": "Actors who were unconvincing as a parent and child?", "author": "Odd-Recognition4120", "permalink": "/r/movies/comments/1hgme6m/actors_who_were_unconvincing_as_a_parent_and_child/", "score": 1, "comments": 5, "timestamp": 1734473736 }, { "title": "Thoughts on Old Boy (2003 and 2013)?", "author": "Twistybananana", "permalink": "/r/movies/comments/1hglyqs/thoughts_on_old_boy_2003_and_2013/", "score": 6, "comments": 7, "timestamp": 1734472622 } ] Get Post Details returns: [ { "title": "Chrome Canary just killed uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2 extensions", "body": "", "comments": [ { "author": "Neutral-President", "body": "I would argue that if you want to be free from advertising, perhaps using a web browser created and distributed by the world’s biggest advertising company Is not the wisest strategy.", "replies": [ { "author": "[deleted]", "body": "[removed]", "replies": [ { "author": "Quentin-Code", "body": "This is missing one important point: why is google paying Mozilla. \n\nGoogle is not paying Mozilla only to be the default search, that’s not the real reason, the real reason is that Firefox is the legal argument of Google to say that they don’t have a monopoly with Chrome. If Firefox dies, Google will have to align much more money in legal battle and may still end up losing.\n\nIn addition Firefox will not die if Google stops paying: it’s open source and it will simply develop much slower and likely cut on some of its services.", "replies": [ { "author": "NYstate", "body": ">the real reason is that Firefox is the legal argument of Google to say that they don’t have a monopoly with Chrome\n\nYup. Google will has a monopoly. They make the phone, the OS, the search engine and steer the traffic to their services and earn them ads.Throw in YouTube and you have a total monopoly over the flow of the Internet. Google is *this* close to being under fire from the government but Firefox is their saving grace. All they need to do is to low advertise Firefox as an alternate and the trail is off", "replies": [ ... ] } ] }, ... ] }, ... ] }, ... ] } ] ## Limitations 1. Returns a maximum of 500 results per run. 2. Does not support bulk. 3. "Search for Keywords" rounds up the limit to the closest 100. ## Support Always use a Residential or Custom proxy!
