❓ FAQ

Do I need a Reddit account or API key? No. It reads Reddit's public JSON — just give it subreddits or search terms.

Can I get comments too? Yes — enable Include comments and set how many per post. It's slower, so leave it off for large post-only pulls.

How many posts can I get? Reddit paginates listings; the Actor follows pages up to your Max posts limit per subreddit / query.

Is scraping Reddit legal? It collects publicly available content. You're responsible for complying with Reddit's terms and applicable laws, and for how you use the data.
