capabilities

Scrape Reddit without getting blocked

Anti-bot bypass

Rotating residential and datacenter proxies clear Reddit's verification checks, so you get real page data on the first try.

Proxy rotation

A fresh IP per request, with geotargeting when you need results from a specific country.

JS rendering

We render the page the way a browser does and return the loaded data as flat JSON you do not have to parse.

Structured JSON

Every endpoint uses the same field names and types, so your parser keeps working when Reddit changes its markup.

Pay for success

Failed requests retry across datacenter, residential, and premium pools, and you are billed only for results.

One REST call

No proxies, headless browsers, or CAPTCHA solvers to run. Send one request with your api_key and read the JSON.

FAQ

What is the Reddit Scraper API?

It is a set of REST endpoints that take a Reddit URL or id and return the data as structured JSON: comment threads, posts, subreddit listings, search results, and user profiles. We handle the proxies, anti-bot checks, and parsing, so you call one endpoint with your api_key and get clean fields back.

Do I need a Reddit API key or OAuth app?

No. You authenticate with a single api_key. There is no Reddit OAuth app to register, no token refresh to manage, and no 100-queries-per-minute client limit to ration. The free tier includes 1,000 requests so you can test first.

Which Reddit data types can I pull?

Five endpoints cover the main types: a comment thread (a comment plus its full reply tree), a single post, a subreddit listing, Reddit search results, and a user profile with post and comment history. Each returns the same stable JSON shape on every call.

Is scraping Reddit legal?

Scraping publicly visible Reddit pages is generally treated as lawful in the United States, though Reddit's User Agreement restricts automated access without permission, so review the terms and robots.txt for your use case. Our Reddit scraping legality guide walks through the details.

How fast is the Reddit Scraper API?

Responses return in a median of about 2.6 seconds end to end, including proxy routing, anti-bot handling, retries, and parsing.

What does it cost?

The free tier covers 1,000 requests, Pro pricing runs about $0.60 per 1,000 requests, and pay-as-you-go top-ups are $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. You are billed for successful results.
