They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

It is useful for community analysis, moderation research, and audience insight workflows. Built on the **Apify platform**, this Actor supports scheduling, webhooks, and dataset exports. ### Why use Reddit Subreddit Comments Export? - **Community analysis** - Export comments from subreddit discussions - **Audience insights** - Understand recurring topics and sentiment - **Structured output** - Store comment data in sheets, dashboards, or internal tools ### How to use Reddit Subreddit Comments Export 1. Open the Actor on Apify 2. Enter the subreddit URL or identifier and result limit inputs 3. Start the run 4. Download the dataset output ### Input This Actor accepts the fields required to collect comments from a target subreddit. **Example input:** ```json { "subreddit": "marketing", "limit": 25 } ``` ### Output The Actor writes the collected subreddit comments to the default dataset. **Example output:** ```json { "success": true, "response": [ { "subreddit": "marketing", "author": "sample_user", "commentBody": "This channel worked well for us last quarter.", "commentUrl": "https://www.reddit.com/r/marketing/comments/example/", "score": 24 } ] } ``` ### Pricing / Cost estimation **$0.00054 per started block of up to 25 results** on Apify. - `1-25` results: `$0.00054` - `26-50` results: `$0.00108` - `51-75` results: `$0.00162` No result means no result-charge event. ### Support If you need adjustments for your workflow, use the Actor Issues tab or your internal support channel. # Actor input Schema ## `subRedditUrl` (type: `string`): Subreddit URL ## `maxCount` (type: `integer`): Max Count ## `sort` (type: `string`): Sort ## `cookieHeader` (type: `string`): Cookie Header ## `csrfToken` (type: `string`): CSRF Token ## `userAgent` (type: `string`): User-Agent ## `acceptLanguage` (type: `string`): Accept-Language ## `redditHost` (type: `string`): Reddit Host ## `referer` (type: `string`): Referer ## `origin` (type: `string`): Origin ## `proxy` (type: `object`): Proxy ## Actor input object example ```json { "maxCount": 10, "sort": "new", "acceptLanguage": "en-US,en;q=0.9", "redditHost": "www.reddit.com", "referer": "https://www.reddit.com/", "origin": "https://www.reddit.com", "proxy": { "ip": "http://portal.anyip.io", "port": "1080", "username": "", "password": "" } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
