⚡Reddit Subreddit Post Media Downloader

The Reddit Subreddit Post Media Downloader is a focused Apify actor for downloading media from Reddit subreddit posts. Paste subreddit post URLs (r/) and get direct download links for videos, images, galleries, and external embeds. The Reddit Subreddit Post Media Downloader automatically filters out profile/user post URLs — only subreddit posts are processed.

What Is the Reddit Subreddit Post Media Downloader?

The Reddit Subreddit Post Media Downloader is a media-focused extraction tool that accepts only subreddit post URLs (r/) and returns:

• Direct download URLs — MP4 video, full-resolution images, gallery items, audio streams
• All quality formats — every available resolution, codec, and bitrate for video posts
• Audio stream URLs — Reddit stores video and audio separately; this actor extracts both
• Gallery/carousel items — each image, video, or GIF extracted individually
• External embed data — YouTube, Vimeo, and other oembed providers
• Essential post context — post type, title, author, subreddit, score, and media fields only

The Reddit Subreddit Post Media Downloader uses 6 parallel extraction engines for maximum speed and reliability.

What This Actor Does

• Downloads media metadata and URLs from Reddit subreddit post URLs only
• Accepts only r/ post URLs — profile URLs (u/) are automatically skipped
• Extracts video, image, gallery, external embed media from subreddit posts
• Returns lightweight post summaries plus download-ready media records
• No comments — media download data only

What This Actor Does NOT Do

The Reddit Subreddit Post Media Downloader does not:

• Process profile/user post URLs (u/) — those are automatically skipped with a warning
• Scrape entire subreddits — only individual post URLs
• Include comments in output
• Download actual media files — it returns direct download URLs
• Return full 60+ field metadata (see the main Metadata Scraper actor for that)

How URL Filtering Works

The Reddit Subreddit Post Media Downloader automatically checks every input URL:

Skipped URLs are logged in the actor output so you can see which URLs were filtered out.
