Turn any subreddit into a structured CSV. Extract posts, comments, upvotes, authors, and timestamps for market research, lead gen, and competitive intel.
Quick answer
A Reddit scraper is a tool that extracts structured data — posts, comments, authors, upvote counts, timestamps, and subreddit metadata — from public Reddit pages into a CSV or JSON file. Common use cases in 2026 include market research (tracking what customers say about competitors), lead generation (finding users asking for products you sell), and content analysis (studying which posts get traction in a niche). The best Reddit scrapers respect rate limits and robots.txt while still delivering clean exportable datasets. Scrupp does this via a cloud engine, with no local automation footprint.
How it works
Paste a subreddit URL (e.g. r/SaaS), a Reddit search URL, or a specific thread. Scrupp handles pagination automatically.
Choose posts, comments, or both. Filter by date range, flair, minimum upvotes, or author karma. Set the depth for comment trees.
Get a clean file with title, body, author, subreddit, upvotes, comments, timestamp, and URL for every row. Ready for analysis or import.
Features
Title, body, author, subreddit, upvotes, comments count, flair, posted date, direct URL.
Extract entire comment threads with parent-child relationships, author, score, and timestamp.
Pull public user profile data: karma, account age, top subreddits, recent activity.
Runs through a cloud engine with proxies and human-like delays. No account ban risk.
FAQ
Scraping public Reddit data is generally legal in most jurisdictions — the 2022 hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn ruling reinforced that public data is fair game. Reddit's API has rate limits and usage policies you should respect, and never scrape private or deleted content.
No. Scrupp only works on publicly accessible subreddits. If a subreddit is set to private, you won't be able to extract its content without being a member.
Reddit's API has strict rate limits (100 requests/minute for authenticated apps) and requires OAuth setup. Scrupp handles the rate limiting, pagination, and proxy rotation transparently — you just paste a URL and download a CSV.
Top use cases: (1) market research — track what users say about competitors or categories; (2) lead gen — find people asking for tools you sell in r/SaaS, r/sales, r/marketing; (3) content ideation — see which post formats get traction in your niche.
No — Reddit doesn't expose user emails publicly, and Scrupp doesn't attempt to find them from usernames. For B2B lead gen with verified emails, combine Reddit scraping (for intent signals) with Scrupp's LinkedIn email finder (for actual contact data).
