Accepts a bare name (developers), r/developers, a full subreddit URL, or a comma-separated list to search several subreddits at once (developers,programming). Leave empty to search all of Reddit. Applies to posts and comments; community and account |
| sort | string | No | relevance | How the keyword search results are ranked. |

| excludeDeleted | boolean | No | false | Drop posts and comments whose author account was deleted or whose content was removed by a moderator/admin (Reddit marks these with the literal '[deleted]' or '[removed]' placeholders). |

| postedAfter | string | No | – | Only keep results created on or after this date (UTC). Applies to posts, comments and communities (subreddit creation date). Reddit's cookieless account search exposes no account creation date, so account records are not date-filtered. Reddit caps each search at roughly 1,000 results and the live in |

What a run costs
The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.
| Apify plan | Per 1,000 | 10,000 results | 100,000 results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free plan | $0.99 | $9.90 | $99 |
| Starter plan | $0.82 | $8.20 | $82 |
| Scale plan | $0.66 | $6.60 | $66 |
| Business plan | $0.49 | $4.90 | $49 |
- Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
- The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
- Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
- Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.

Stops are fields. A ring means the field is in that route's published output schema; no ring means the line passes without it. Bold labels are the core fields for this website, the rest are fields that differ between routes. A white capsule means every data line stops there. The red line is the official API; its field coverage is not compared. A crossed red line means there is no open official API.
Official route: Reddit Data API
Limited access. Reddit is moving public data access to its Developer Platform. RSS support ends November 13, 2026; new public API access requests stopped October 31, 2026; access for unregistered apps starts closing January 12, 2027; remaining public API access ends in March 2027.
