Reddit Scraper Lite — Fast Reddit Post Extractor
Fast, lightweight Reddit scraper that extracts posts, scores, comments, flair, and metadata from subreddits and user profiles. Uses Crawlee with Playwright for reliable extraction from Reddit's JS-heavy SPA.
Features
- Extract post titles, URLs, authors, scores, comment counts, flairs, and timestamps
- Works with subreddit pages, user profiles, and post listings
- Handles Reddit's dynamic rendering automatically
- Apify proxy integration with automatic fallback
- Graceful error handling — won't crash on individual failures
- Enriched output with scrape metadata (
scrapedAt,sourceUrl)
Input
| Field | Type | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
startUrls | array | Reddit URLs to scrape (e.g., https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/) | ✅ |
maxPosts | integer | Maximum number of posts to extract per page (1–500, default: 25) | ❌ |
proxyConfiguration | object | Proxy settings to avoid rate limiting (Apify Proxy recommended) | ❌ |
Output
Each dataset item contains:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
title | Post title |
url | Post URL |
author | Reddit username |
subreddit | Subreddit name |
score | Upvote count |
comments | Comment count |
flair | Post flair text |
postId | Reddit post ID (t3_xxx) |
createdAt | Post timestamp (ISO 8601) |
scrapedAt | When this data was scraped (ISO 8601) |
sourceUrl | Page URL where this post was found |
Usage
- Add one or more Reddit URLs (subreddit pages, user profiles, listings) to Start URLs.
- Optionally adjust Max Posts (default: 25, max: 500).
- Optionally configure proxy settings (Apify Proxy recommended for larger scrapes).
- Run the actor and retrieve results from the default dataset.
Tips
- Use Apify Proxy to avoid Reddit's rate limiting, especially when scraping multiple pages.
- Start small with maxPosts=25 to test, then increase for production runs.
- Subreddit URLs work best:
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/,https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/top/, etc.
