How to run
- Open Apify Console β Actors.
- Create or open this actor, set Start URLs (and optional Search / Limits / Proxy).
- Run the actor and check the Log and Output tabs.
Proxy behavior
- Default: no proxy (direct to Reddit).
- If Reddit blocks or rate-limits: switch to datacenter proxy.
- If still blocked: switch to residential proxy and retry up to 3 times.
- After a successful switch, all further requests use that proxy.
Cautions
- Only public data; no login or private content.
- Respect Redditβs terms and rate limits. You are responsible for compliance.
