Things to know before scraping Reddit
- Reddit changes its page structure and access rules over time, so a 30-day success rate is a snapshot and may not hold for your own runs.
- Large comment threads and broad keyword searches can produce very large datasets, so set item or post limits before running at volume to control cost.
- Reddit restricts automated access and may throttle or block high-frequency requests, so schedule runs conservatively and check outputs for gaps.
Reddit's terms of service and its rules on automated access apply to scraping, and collecting personal data such as usernames or profile details may engage data protection law in your jurisdiction. This is general information, not legal advice. Notes drafted with AI assistance from the figures above and refreshed when the ranking changes (last 2026-10-14).
How to read this table
- Users (30 days): distinct Apify accounts that ran the actor in the last 30 days. The best single signal that an actor still works on the live site.
- Success (30 days): share of public runs that finished successfully. Below about 85% usually means the target site changed and the actor is struggling.
- Price: pay-per-event actors charge per result and include Apify's compute. "Free" actors charge no fee, but you pay Apify platform usage for the compute they use, which costs more for browser-based scrapers.
- Last run: if nobody has run an actor for weeks, treat it as unmaintained.
Run Reddit scrapers from your code
Every actor above has the same API. Replace the actor name and your token:
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/trudax~reddit-scraper-lite/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ ...input... }'Actors also run on a schedule inside Apify, send results to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier or n8n, and can be called by AI agents through the Apify MCP server. See how to use scrapers from AI agents.
