How do I track what people say about a brand or topic on Reddit?
Search Reddit for your brand, competitors or topic and save every matching post and comment as rows you can read, filter and analyse. Our Reddit Scraper does this without a Reddit login or API key: enter keywords, subreddits, usernames or post links, and get the full text, subreddit, author, date and link for each result. It costs $1 per 1,000 results.
What to collect
- Brand and product names, including common misspellings
- Competitor names and phrases like "alternative to" or "anyone tried"
- The subreddits where your customers talk: add a keyword to a subreddit to search inside it
- Full threads: add a post link to get every comment on it
Your options
- Reddit's own search: fine for a quick look, but hard to save or compare over time.
- Reddit's official API: needs a registered app, and commercial use comes with Reddit's data terms.
- Social listening tools: easy dashboards, usually on monthly plans.
- A scraper: you choose what to collect, pay per result, and get raw text for your own analysis or AI tools.
How to do it
- Open Reddit Scraper on Apify and enter your keywords, subreddits or post links.
- Pick the sort (hot, new or top), the time range and whether to include comments.
- Press Start. Runs usually finish in seconds. Download as Excel, CSV or JSON.
- Schedule a daily run with sort "new" to catch fresh mentions, and remove duplicates by link.
What to do with the data
- Sentiment: label mentions positive or negative, by hand or with an AI model.
- Feature requests and complaints: group what people ask for and what annoys them.
- Leads: find people asking for a tool or service like yours, and answer helpfully, without spam.
- Content ideas: the questions people ask are the articles worth writing.
What it costs
1,000 posts and comments cost $1. Duplicates are never charged. Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage a month, about 5,000 results.
Questions
Do I need a Reddit account?
No. The tool reads Reddit's public feeds, so there's nothing to log in to.
Does it include upvotes?
No. It reads Reddit's public feeds, which don't include vote scores or comment counts. It's built for what people say, not for ranking posts by votes.
How far back can I go?
Reddit serves about 1,000 posts per listing and sort, and its search returns a limited number of results per query. Use narrower searches or time ranges to collect more.
Is it allowed?
The tool collects only publicly visible posts and comments, with no login. You're responsible for how you use the data, including Reddit's terms and privacy laws such as GDPR.
