Scrape Reddit Posts and Comments — Nested Threads at $0.75 per 1,000 Results

Extract posts, nested comment threads, search results, and user activity from Reddit at a fraction of the cost of existing scrapers. Configurable comment depth from 1 to 5 levels gives you control over how deep into conversations you go. Our scraper handles Reddit's anti-bot protections transparently, delivering clean structured data from any subreddit or search query.

• Search results — find posts matching keywords across all of Reddit or specific subreddits
• User activity — posts and comments from specific Reddit user profiles
• Subreddit feeds — hot, new, top, rising, and controversial sorting
• Cross-posts and links — original source tracking and external URLs
