Reddit Search Scraper - Posts by Keyword, No API Key

Find Reddit posts that mention your keywords in the communities you care about. Add a few keywords and a few subreddits, and every matching post comes back with its full text, score and comment count. Put it on a schedule and it becomes a keyword alert: every run brings only the new mentions.

Changed on 6 November 2026. Reddit stopped allowing search across all of Reddit without logging in. Searches now run inside the subreddits you list: you can't search everywhere at once any more, but you get each post's full text.

Why people use it

• ✅ No Reddit account, no login, no API key.
• 🔎 Keywords × subreddits. Every keyword is checked in every subreddit you list, and each result is tagged with the keyword that found it.
• 📝 Full post text included, not just the title.
• 🔔 Keyword alerts. On a schedule it returns only posts you haven't seen yet. Use it for brand mentions, competitor names, leads, job posts and product feedback.
• 💬 Comments too, if you want the discussion around each result.
• 💸 From $1.40 per 1,000 results.

Quick start

1. Add words or phrases to Search keywords, for example n8n, "home assistant" zigbee or your brand.
2. Add the communities to search in under Limit search to subreddits, for example automation, selfhosted or r/homelab. This is required: a keyword with no subreddit can't be searched any more.
3. Pick a Search sort and, if you like, a Time range.
4. Press Start.

How keywords match (title, text and flair, any letter case, whole words):

You type	Finds posts that…
n8n workflow	mention both words
"web scraping"	contain the exact phrase
python -django	mention python but not django
automat*	mention automation, automate, automated…
zapier OR make.com	mention either one
n8n subreddit:automation	mention n8n in r/automation (same as listing the subreddit)

You can also paste a subreddit search link from your browser, such as https://www.reddit.com/r/python/search/?q=django&sort=new.

What you get for each result

Real result from 6 November 2026 (keyword n8n, subreddit automation):

Field	Example
Title	"Has anyone figured out a way to generate social media graphics in bulk with n8n?"
Text	"I've got 30 posts planned in a spreadsheet. Captions and topics are done…"
Subreddit, author	automation, soupsipaficionado
Posted at	2026-11-06T13:22:54.483Z
Score, comments	6, 10
Reddit link	Link to the post
Keyword	n8n
NSFW, spoiler	false, false

Switch on Include comments to add each post's comments, or send the links to the Reddit Comments Scraper.

Download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or view them in the Posts table.

Pricing

Prices drop on higher Apify plans. You pay only for matching posts, never for posts that were checked and didn't match.

What	Price per 1,000 (Free plan → Gold and above)
Search result	$1.40 → $0.95
Comment	$1.40 → $0.95
New result since your last run (keyword alerts)	$0.50 → $0.35
Each run	$0.001

What that looks like: 1,000 results ≈ $1.40. A keyword alert checked hourly with about 50 new mentions a day ≈ $0.75 for mentions plus $0.72 for runs a month.

Set up a keyword alert

1. Add your keywords and subreddits, and keep Search sort on Newest first.
2. Switch on Only new since last run.
3. Click Schedule and choose hourly or daily.
4. Send the new mentions to Slack, Discord, email or Google Sheets with n8n, Make or Zapier (see below), or follow the RSS link that each run creates (shown in the run log).

Connect it to your tools

• n8n: add the Apify node → Run an Actor and get dataset, choose this Actor, then post each new result to Slack or append it to a Google Sheet.
• Make / Zapier: use the Apify app's Run Actor action on a schedule and map the results.
• API: see the API tab on this page for ready-made examples.

Good to know

• Subreddits are required. Reddit no longer allows search across all of Reddit without logging in. A keyword given without a subreddit is skipped, and the run says so.
• How far back? Each run checks the newest 500 posts of each subreddit (with a Time range on Newest first: every post in that range, up to 2,000). Keyword alerts only check the posts that are new since the last run.
• Sort: Newest first gives the newest matches. Relevance follows the subreddit's Hot order, Top and Most comments follow its Top order for the chosen time range.
• An empty alert run is good news: no new mentions since the last check.
• Only public information that anyone can see on Reddit is collected.

More Reddit tools
