Common questions
Does this scraper require a Reddit API key? +
No. The Reddit Scraper works without any API key, OAuth token, or Reddit account. It accesses public subreddit data directly.
Can I get full comment trees with this Reddit scraper? +
Yes. The scraper returns full nested comment trees including replies to replies. Each comment includes author, score, timestamp, and parent relationship.
What does pay-per-result mean for the Reddit scraper? +
You pay only for posts that are successfully delivered. If a run returns zero results due to a private subreddit or network issue, you pay nothing.
How far back can I scrape Reddit posts? +
The scraper supports deep historical backfill using Reddit's after cursor. You can retrieve posts from years ago by chaining pagination runs.
What modes are available? +
Four modes: subreddit (all posts from a subreddit), search (keyword search across Reddit), user (a specific user profile and posts), and post (a single post with full comment tree).
