FAQ

Do I need an API key?

Only a free Apify token (grab one at https://console.apify.com/account/integrations). No reddit login and no scraping setup on your side.

How many results can I get?

Thousands per run. Raise the limit in the input to pull more — the Actor paginates for you.

What export formats are supported?

Results are plain JSON in code; from the Apify dataset you can export CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL or XML.

Is this an official reddit API?

No. It is an unofficial reddit data client on the Apify platform — a maintained alternative when there is no official or affordable API.
