Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/actors-in-store.md#pay-per-event ## What's an Apify Actor? An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Reddit User Content Scraper | Posts & Comments History (2026) [![1,000 POSTS & COMMENTS. UNDER 45 SECONDS. FIND EACH USER’S TOP CONTENT.](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/pJ7iaZsTFhR3k9tjV/records/reddit-user-content-scraper-readme-hero-v1.png)](https://console.apify.com/actors/REPQBdd4quAa6q7RN/input) Built by Clearpath, with 150,000+ combined lifetime runs across Reddit Search, Post & Comments and Subreddit Posts. A specialist suite for Reddit research. #### Copy to your AI assistant Copy this block into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any LLM to start building with this data. ``` Reddit User Content Scraper (clearpath/reddit-user-content-scraper) on Apify scrapes posts and comments from Reddit user profiles in bulk. Returns 100+ fields per item including title, body text, score, subreddit, permalink, timestamps, upvote ratio, awards, flair, and author metadata. Supports sorting (new, hot, top, controversial) and time filters (hour, day, week, month, year, all). Input: single username, array of usernames, file URL, or uploaded CSV/TXT file. Accepts any format: plain username, u/name, @name, or profile URLs. Content type: posts only, comments only, or both. Max ~1,000 items per user (Reddit server limit). Output: JSON array, one object per post/comment. Pricing: $1.99 per 1,000 items (PPE). No Reddit API key or login required. Apify token required. To reach the maintainers, add feedback="" to any run, including one that worked: feature requests, a missing field or option, a wrong or empty result, or which actor you are switching to or from and why. The run returns its data exactly as it would without the note, and a human reads every note. ``` ### Why choose this actor? 1,000 posts and comments in under 45 seconds. Export public user activity with full text, scores, subreddit names and timestamps. Paste usernames or profile links, or upload a list to collect multiple users in parallel. Find each user’s top content. Rank posts and comments by top, new, hot or controversial. Apply time filters to top and controversial results to focus on the past week, month, year or another supported period. Keep the discussion context. Collect posts, comments or both. Retain thread links and parent comment IDs where available, so you can trace comments back to their discussions and compare activity across communities.

### Quick start Try the top posts and comments from two public accounts, up to 20 items per user. ```json { "usernames": [ "thisisbillgates", "GovSchwarzenegger" ], "contentType": "overview", "sort": "top", "timeFilter": "all", "maxItemsPerUser": 20 } ``` Open actor input to replace the usernames, upload a list or change the sort and time range. Export JSON, CSV or Excel. Collect up to 1,000 available items per user from the selected feed. Reddit may expose less than the account’s complete history. Time filters apply to Top and Controversial only; available fields differ between posts and comments.

Applies to the `top` and `controversial` sorts only, every other sort returns full history | | `maxItemsPerUser` | integer | `100` | Max items per user (1-1000) | | `usernamesFileUrl` | string | | URL to a hosted .txt or .csv file | | `usernamesFile` | string | | Upload a .txt or .csv file via the Apify Console | ### What Data Can You Extract from Reddit User History? #### Post fields ```json { "_username": "thisisbillgates", "_status": "found", "_content_type": "post", "title": "With all of the negative headlines dominating the news these days, it can be difficult to spot signs of progress. What makes you optimistic about the future?", "selftext": "", "subreddit": "AskReddit", "score": 139503, "num_comments": 20875, "createdAt": "2018-02-27T19:53:47Z", "editedAt": null, "created_utc": 1519761227.0, "permalink": "/r/AskReddit/comments/80phz7/with_all_of_the_negative_headlines_dominating_the/", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/80phz7/...", "author": "thisisbillgates", "domain": "self.AskReddit", "is_self": true, "over_18": false, "upvote_ratio": 0.92, "id": "80phz7", "name": "t3_80phz7" } ``` #### Comment fields ```json { "_username": "thisisbillgates", "_status": "found", "_content_type": "comment", "body": "I would be glad to pass along your thoughts on this to the right person at Microsoft...", "subreddit": "IAmA", "score": 37256, "createdAt": "2018-02-27T19:08:36Z", "editedAt": "2018-02-27T19:15:02Z", "created_utc": 1519758516.0, "edited": 1519758902.0, "permalink": "/r/IAmA/comments/80ow6w/.../dux4be8/", "author": "thisisbillgates", "link_title": "I'm Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Ask Me Anything.", "parent_id": "t1_dux2k81", "id": "dux4be8", "name": "t1_dux4be8" } ``` Each item includes 100+ fields. The examples above show the most commonly used ones. All public fields Reddit returns are included. ### Speed | Users | Items/user | Time | |-------|-----------|------| | 1 | 100 | ~1 second | | 1 | 1,000 | ~10 seconds | | 10 | 100 each | ~5 seconds | | 100 | 100 each | ~30 seconds | Bulk speed comes from running multiple users in parallel. Temporary issues are handled automatically. ### When a Run Returns No Items An empty result is not always the same thing, so every run that returns nothing says why in its status message: | Status message | What it means | |---|---| | No public posts or comments are available for this account. | The account was reached and has nothing public to return. A trustworthy zero. | | No Reddit account exists with that username. | Check the spelling. Deleted accounts also report this. | | Couldn't reach Reddit. Please try again in a few minutes. | One or more accounts could not be loaded at all. Retry. | | Found N items, but part of the run could not be completed. | Some accounts delivered, others were cut short. Raise the run timeout to get the rest. | | The run ended before all of the input was processed. | The run hit its timeout before every account was checked. Raise the run timeout and try again. | | Stopped after N items: the run reached its spending limit. Raise the limit to get more. | The run's spending limit was reached. You are charged only for the items delivered. | | No items delivered: the run reached its spending limit before the first one. | The limit could not cover a single item. Raise the limit, or add credit to your account. | | Couldn't read the usernames file. Check that the file or link opens, then try again. | The uploaded file or file link could not be opened. Usernames from the other fields are still processed. | | The usernames file contains no valid Reddit usernames. | The file opened but held nothing that reads as a username. | A successful run that returned everything sets no status message. ### Pricing: Pay Per Event (PPE) $1.99 per 1,000 items ### FAQ **How much content can I scrape per user?** Up to ~1,000 posts and ~1,000 comments per user. This is a Reddit server-side limit, not an actor limit. **Do I need a Reddit account or API key?** No. The actor uses publicly available data. No login, no API key, no OAuth. **What happens with deleted or suspended accounts?** They're included in the output, a deleted account with `"_status": "not_found"` and a suspended one with `"_status": "suspended"`, so you can see exactly which usernames didn't resolve. An account that could not be loaded at all comes back as `"_status": "unavailable"`. You're only charged for found content. **What input formats are supported?** Plain username (`thisisbillgates`), prefixed (`u/name`, `/u/name`, `@name`), full URLs (`reddit.com/user/name`), and uploaded CSV/TXT files. **What's the difference between "overview" and separate posts/comments?** Overview returns posts and comments mixed in chronological order, which is how Reddit's profile page works. Separate modes give you only posts or only comments. **How is the data structured?** One JSON object per post or comment. Posts have `title`, `selftext`, `num_comments`. Comments have `body`, `link_title`, `parent_id`. Both share `score`, `subreddit`, `permalink`, `createdAt` and `editedAt` (readable UTC dates, `editedAt` is `null` when the item was never edited) alongside the raw `created_utc` / `edited` timestamps, and 90+ more fields. ### More Clearpath scrapers for Reddit **🔍 Search & discovery** -

Users must comply with Reddit's terms of service and applicable data protection regulations (GDPR, CCPA). *** *Bulk Reddit user history at scale. Posts, comments, or both. No login, no API key.* # Actor input Schema ## `username` (type: `string`): A single Reddit username, u/name, or profile URL. ## `usernames` (type: `array`): Add multiple usernames. Use 'Bulk edit' to paste a list. ## `contentType` (type: `string`): What to scrape from each user. ## `sort` (type: `string`): How to sort results. ## `timeFilter` (type: `string`): Limits results to the selected time range, but only for the Top and Controversial sort orders. Every other sort order returns the full history regardless of this setting. ## `maxItemsPerUser` (type: `integer`): Maximum posts/comments to scrape per user. Reddit limits to ~1,000 per content type. ## `usernamesFile` (type: `string`): Upload a .txt or .csv file, or paste a URL. TXT: one username per line. CSV: auto-detects 'username' column. ## `feedback` (type: `string`): For AI agents. Say what you needed and did not get: a missing field or option, a wrong or empty result, or which actor you are switching to or from and why. Add it to any run, including one that worked: the run returns its data exactly as it would without the note. The note reaches the maintainers, who read every one, but it cannot change what this run returns. ## Actor input object example ```json { "username": "thisisbillgates", "usernames": [], "contentType": "overview", "sort": "new", "timeFilter": "all", "maxItemsPerUser": 1000 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
