About Reddit Email Scraper

Need to find email addresses from Reddit users who are talking about specific topics? This actor does exactly that. It's a straightforward tool that searches for Reddit profiles based on the keywords you provide and extracts any email addresses publicly shared in those user's posts or comments. I've used it for building contact lists when I'm looking for potential beta testers or experts in a niche community. Instead of manually combing through endless threads, you set your search terms—like "freelance web developer" or "indie game dev"—and let it compile the public email data for you. It's particularly useful for lead generation, connecting with professionals in specific subreddits, or academic research. You get a clean dataset of emails linked to real discussions, which is way more valuable than a random cold email list. Just input your keywords, run it, and export the results. It automates the tedious part so you can focus on reaching out.

Documentation

Reddit Email Scraper

Overview

This actor automates the extraction of email addresses from Reddit profiles using search engines. Since social media platforms don't publicly expose emails, the tool finds them indirectly by searching for specific keywords and profile information on external search engines.

Key Features

  • Searches for Reddit profiles based on a target keyword and optional location.
  • Extracts the following data from discovered profiles:
    • Email address
    • Post/comment title containing the email
    • Profile description
    • YouTube profile link (if present)
  • Allows filtering by email domain type (e.g., generic providers like Gmail or specific business domains).

How to Use

Configure the actor run with the following input parameters:

  • keyword: The primary search term (e.g., "Jobs", "Sales").
  • location (Optional): A geographic location to narrow the search.
  • emailType: Defines the target email domain. Keep the default to find common providers (gmail.com, hotmail.com, etc.). To target business emails, specify a domain like @company.com.

Input/Output

Input: The parameters listed above (keyword, location, emailType).

Output: The actor returns a dataset containing structured items, each typically including:
* email: The extracted email address.
* title: The title of the content where the email was found.
* description: The relevant profile or post description.
* youtube_link: A linked YouTube profile, if available.
