Input
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| keywords | array | Yes | [] | List of keywords to search. Each runs as a separate search. |
| resultLimit | integer | No | 100 | Max posts per keyword (1-1000). Default 100. Source caps are real: RSS 100/request with no pagination, Translate partial 24/page, Redlib 7/page, Arctic 100/page. Fewer results are reported as partial rather than silently truncated. |
| sort | string | No | relevance | How to sort the search results. |
| relativeWindow | string | No | all | Restrict results to a relative window. Maps to Reddit's t= and Arctic after= filters. Use all for no window. |
| onlyNew | boolean | No | false | Emit only records newer than the stored watermark for this monitorId. Requires a stable monitorId for scheduled runs. |
| monitorId | string | No | – | Key used to store the onlyNew watermark and seen IDs. Use the same value on every scheduled run of the same monitor. |
| searchComments | boolean | No | false | Also search comment bodies via Redlib, with RSS parent-post discovery + hydration as fallback. Emits recordType=comment records. |
| commentLimit | integer | No | 50 | Maximum matching comments per keyword when searchComments is enabled (1-1000). |
| subredditFilter | array | No | [] | Only emit posts/comments from these subreddits (with or without `r/`). Empty = all. When set, the engine prefers the subreddit-scoped Translate listing. |
| subredditBlocklist | array | No | [] | Drop posts/comments from these subreddits. |
Show the other 12 settings
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| minScore | integer | No | – | Drop records below this score. Applied only when the source exposes a live or explicitly timestamped score; otherwise the run reports metrics_unavailable instead of silently passing/dropping. |
| maxAgeDays | integer | No | – | Drop records older than N days. |
| excludeNsfw | boolean | No | false | Drop NSFW records. When the available source cannot expose a per-post NSFW flag, unknown rows are not emitted as safe; the run reports nsfw_status_unavailable. |
| authorBlocklist | array | No | [] | Drop posts/comments by these usernames (case-insensitive). |
| keywordRequireAll | boolean | No | false | When multiple keywords are given, keep only records whose title/content contains ALL of them. Default: each keyword runs independently (OR). |
| dateFrom | string | No | – | Drop records with `created_at` before this date (inclusive). Format: YYYY-MM-DD or ISO timestamp. |
| dateTo | string | No | – | Drop records with `created_at` after this date (inclusive end-of-day). Format: YYYY-MM-DD or ISO timestamp. |
| includeArchive | boolean | No | true | Use Arctic Shift for subreddit-scoped backfill and comment hydration when live sources fail. Archive metrics are snapshots, not live. |
| redditOAuthToken | string | No | – | Optional user-supplied OAuth Bearer token. Never required; when present, oauth.reddit.com is tried first for live metrics. The actor does not obtain tokens for you. |
| redlibInstances | array | No | [] | Optional Redlib hostnames to try in order (without https://). Defaults to safereddit.com, redlib.catsarch.com, redlib.perennialte.ch. |
| resolveChallenges | boolean | No | true | Allow a best-effort Playwright browser solve when a Redlib instance returns an Anubis challenge. Disable to keep runs HTTP-only. |
| proxyConfiguration | object | No | {"useApifyProxy":false} | Optional Apify proxy configuration. Live HTML/Redlib/RSS availability varies by IP; residential proxies improve success on datacenter runs. |

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 1 GB a run starts at $0.10 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 ($9.90 for results + $0.10 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
