Reddit Post Search โ Reddit Keyword Scraper: Cross-Reddit Keyword Search
Enter any keyword and scrape Reddit posts from all subreddits โ sorted by relevance, hot, top, new, or comments โ with optional comment threads, 40+ fields per post, and up to 1 million results. No login required.
TL;DR (40-word answer): Reddit Post Search is a no-login Apify Actor that searches Reddit by keyword and returns structured posts and optional comments at $0.0058 per post + $0.00015 per comment, with time filters and sort options for market research. Last verified 2026-05-02.
What it is NOT: Reddit Post Search is not a single-subreddit scraper, not a user profile tool, and not a real-time stream โ it searches all of Reddit by keyword and returns matching posts with optional comment threads.
Reddit Post Search is an Apify Actor that accepts a search keyword and returns structured Reddit posts and comments matching that keyword across all subreddits. Maintained by TrueFetch on the Apify Store.

โ ๏ธ Common mistakes to avoid
- Setting
max_poststoo high on first run. Start with 100โ500 posts to validate your keyword before scaling to millions. - Forgetting
time_filter. Without time scoping, the Actor may return old posts. Usetime_filter: "week"for recent discussions. - Setting large
max_commentsunintentionally. Withmax_comments: 100andmax_posts: 1000, you could be charged for 100,000 comment records.
๐ ๏ธ Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
Missing 'keyword' field | Input is missing the keyword key. | Add "keyword": "your search term" to your input JSON. |
Missing 'sort_by' field | Input missing sort_by. | Set sort_by to one of: relevance, hot, top, new, comments. |
| Empty dataset returned | Keyword has no matching posts in the selected time period. | Try a broader keyword or change time_filter to all. |
Charge limit reached | Account-level monthly spend limit hit. | Raise the run / monthly limit in your Apify plan settings. |
