Input
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| subreddits | array | Yes | – | List of subreddits to scrape. Accepts bare names (python), r/ prefixed (r/python) or full URLs (https://www.reddit.com/r/python/). |
| maxPosts | integer | No | 25 | Maximum number of posts to keep from each subreddit after filters. Reddit serves roughly 1,000 posts per hot/new listing and about 500 for top/controversial. |
| maxItems | integer | No | 10000 | Global safety cap on the total number of records pushed for the whole run (posts and comments combined). |
| sort | string | No | new | How to sort posts in the subreddit. Reddit serves roughly 1,000 posts per hot/new listing and about 500 for top/controversial. |
| timeFilter | string | No | day | Time filter when sorting by 'top' or 'controversial'. |
| includeComments | boolean | No | false | When enabled, the full comment thread (including nested replies) is collected for every scraped post. Significantly increases run time and output. |
| maxCommentsPerPost | integer | No | 0 | Maximum number of comments to scrape per post (only used when 'Include comments' is enabled). |
| commentSort | string | No | confidence | How to sort the comment threads. |
| postedAfter | string | No | – | Only keep posts created on or after this date (UTC). When set, collection runs newest-first (sort=new) and the sort option above is ignored. Reddit caps each listing at roughly 1,000 posts, so a distant date window on a very active subreddit may not be fully reachable. |
| postedBefore | string | No | – | Only keep posts created on or before this date (interpreted as the end of that day, UTC). |
Show the other 23 settings
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| includeNSFW | boolean | No | false | Include posts Reddit explicitly flags as NSFW. Posts in 18+ communities are served by the actor's adult-content cookie and are not distinguishable at community level. |
| onlyWithFlair | boolean | No | false | When enabled, posts without a flair tag are dropped from the results. |
| postType | string | No | – | Keep only posts of the selected content type (based on Reddit's listing type). Leave unset to keep all types. Legacy 'self' is treated as 'text'. |
| minScore | integer | No | – | Only keep posts with a score at or above this value. Leave unset to keep all scores. |
| maxScore | integer | No | – | Only keep posts with a score at or below this value. Useful for finding overlooked/low-visibility posts. Leave unset to keep all scores. |
| minComments | integer | No | – | Only keep posts with at least this many comments. Leave unset to keep all posts. |
| maxComments | integer | No | – | Only keep posts with at most this many comments. Useful for finding under-discussed posts. Leave unset to keep all posts. |
| excludeStickied | boolean | No | false | When enabled, posts pinned/stickied by moderators (e.g. rules, weekly threads) are dropped from the results. |
| minUpvoteRatio | number | No | – | Only keep posts whose upvote ratio (fraction of votes that are upvotes, 0-1) is at or above this value. Useful for filtering out controversial/divisive posts. Leave unset to keep all ratios. |
| excludeCrossposts | boolean | No | false | When enabled, posts that are crossposts from another subreddit are dropped from the results, keeping only original submissions to the scraped subreddit. |
| excludeSpoilers | boolean | No | false | When enabled, posts marked as a spoiler by their author are dropped from the results. |
| titleContains | string | No | – | Only keep posts whose title contains this text (case-insensitive substring match). Leave empty to keep all titles. |
| contentContains | string | No | – | Only keep self (text) posts whose body contains this text (case-insensitive substring match). Link/image/video posts have no body text and are excluded when this is set. Leave empty to keep all posts. |
| flairContains | string | No | – | Only keep posts whose flair text contains this text (case-insensitive substring match). Leave empty to keep all flairs. |
| authors | array | No | – | Only keep posts submitted by one of these usernames (bare name or u/-prefixed, case-insensitive). Leave empty to keep posts from all authors. |

| excludeAuthors | array | No | – | Drop posts submitted by any of these usernames (bare name or u/-prefixed, case-insensitive) — useful for filtering out bots (e.g. AutoModerator) or known spam accounts. Leave empty to keep posts from all authors. |
| excludeKeywords | array | No | – | Drop posts whose title, self-text body or flair contains any of these keywords or phrases (case-insensitive substring match) — useful for filtering out megathreads, giveaways or spam boilerplate. Leave empty to keep all posts. |
| minContentLength | integer | No | – | Only keep self (text) posts whose body is at least this many characters long. Link/image/video posts have no body and are excluded when this is set. Useful for dropping one-line/low-effort text posts when building NLP datasets. Leave unset to keep all lengths. |
| maxContentLength | integer | No | – | Only keep self (text) posts whose body is at most this many characters long. Leave unset to keep all lengths. |
| fullSubreddit | boolean | No | false | When enabled, walk Reddit's 'new' listing as deep as the source allows (roughly 1,000 posts per listing) instead of stopping at the first page. Combine with a higher 'Maximum posts per subreddit'. |

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
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.
Commercial use requires a data agreement. Pricing is not published as a public rate card.
