Questions

How do I scrape a subreddit?

Type the subreddit's name, like marketing or r/marketing, pick hot, new, top, rising or best, and press Run. Each page has about 25 posts; press Next page for more.

Is this Reddit scraper free?

Yes. You get 5 free requests a day without an account. Sign up free for 100 credits, plus a top-up to 25 every day. No card needed. Each page of posts costs 1 credit.

Can I export Reddit posts to CSV or Google Sheets?

Yes. After a run, press Download CSV. You get one post per row with its title, text, author, score, comment count, flair, link and date.

Can I get the top posts of the week or of all time?

Yes. Set Sort to top and pick a timeframe: hour, day, week, month, year or all.

Does it get comments too?

This tool lists posts. For a post's full comment thread, with replies, use the Post comments endpoint with the post's URL.

Does it work on private subreddits?

No. It reads public subreddits only, the same pages anyone can open on reddit.com. Private, banned and missing subreddits come back empty.

Can I automate this or use it in Claude?

Yes. It's one API request to /v1/reddit/subreddit with your API key, and every endpoint works inside Claude as an MCP connector.
