Input
| Setting | Type | Required | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mode | string | Yes | communities | Pick the result you want. 'Communities' returns one profile per subreddit (plus optional posts and comments). 'Discover' finds communities by keyword or browse. 'Posts' returns post records only. 'Comments' returns capped comment trees for post URLs or a subreddit's top posts. |
| subreddits | array | No | – | Subreddit names to scrape. Accepts bare names, r/ names or full URLs. Use the name as shown in the subreddit URL (Reddit redirects are challenged on some networks). Not needed when 'postUrls' is set or when discovery finds enough communities. |
| postUrls | array | No | – | Reddit post or comment URLs (or bare post IDs) to scrape in comments mode. When set, these take priority over subreddit top posts. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1x1xbpb/ |
| discoverMode | string | No | search | How to find extra communities. 'Keyword search' uses the field below. 'Currently popular' and 'Newest' browse Reddit's curated lists (best-effort: those pages expose only a few communities). |
| discoverQuery | string | No | – | Search Reddit's community directory for this keyword and add the matching communities to the run. Only used with 'Keyword search'. Leave empty to skip discovery. |
| discoverSort | string | No | relevance | How to rank keyword-discovered communities: relevance keeps Reddit's order, activity sorts by weekly active users. |
| maxDiscoverResults | integer | No | 10 | Maximum number of communities to add from keyword search or browse (1-100). |
| includeRules | boolean | No | true | Add posting rules (name, description, priority) to community profiles in communities mode. |
| includeWiki | boolean | No | false | Fetch the community wiki index and each page's Markdown source. Wiki pages are omitted when the wiki is disabled or empty. |
| maxWikiPages | integer | No | 20 | Maximum number of wiki pages to fetch per community when 'Include wiki pages' is on (0-200). |

| includePosts | boolean | No | true | Also scrape the community's recent posts, with the full filter set below. |
| maxPosts | integer | No | 25 | Maximum posts to collect per subreddit (1-1,000). The global 'Maximum records' cap still applies. |
| sort | string | No | hot | How to order the post feed. |
| timeFilter | string | No | day | Time window used when sorting posts by top or controversial. |
| includeNSFW | boolean | No | false | Keep posts marked NSFW. NSFW-only communities are gated for signed-out visitors and return nothing regardless of this setting. |
| onlyWithFlair | boolean | No | false | Drop posts that have no flair tag. |
| postType | string | No | – | Keep only one content type. Leave unset to keep all types. |
| minScore | integer | No | – | Keep posts with a score (upvotes minus downvotes) at or above this value. Leave unset to keep all scores. |

| excludeCrossposts | boolean | No | false | Drop crossposts from another community, keeping original submissions. |
| excludeSpoilers | boolean | No | false | Drop posts marked as a spoiler by their author. |
| excludeLocked | boolean | No | false | Drop posts whose comments were locked by a moderator. |
| excludeDeletedAuthor | boolean | No | false | Drop posts whose author appears as [deleted] or [removed]. |
| onlyOriginalContent | boolean | No | false | Keep only posts the author tagged as original content. |
| minAwards | integer | No | – | Keep posts with at least this many total awards. Leave unset to keep all posts. |
| titleContains | string | No | – | Keep posts whose title contains this text (case-insensitive). Leave empty to keep all titles. |
| contentContains | string | No | – | Keep self posts whose body contains this text (case-insensitive). Requires 'Fetch full post details' so post bodies are available; link/image posts are excluded. |
| flairContains | string | No | – | Keep posts whose flair text contains this text (case-insensitive). Leave empty to keep all flairs. |
| authorFlairContains | string | No | – | Keep posts whose author flair text contains this text (case-insensitive). |

| maxCommentsPerPost | integer | No | 25 | Stop collecting a thread after this many comments (1-10,000). The global 'Maximum records' cap still applies. |
| commentSort | string | No | confidence | How Reddit orders the comment tree. 'Confidence' is Reddit's default best-first order; the other four are the verified alternate sorts. |
| maxCommentDepth | integer | No | 3 | Keep comments up to this nesting depth. 0 keeps top-level comments only; each extra level adds replies (0-100). |
| includePostDetails | boolean | No | false | Open each collected post page to fill body, media and detail-only flags. In comments mode this also saves the parent post record. Slower: one extra page per post. |
| maxItems | integer | No | 1000 | Hard cap on all records pushed by the run (communities, posts and comments together). The run stops cleanly when it is reached. |

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.
