Input

Field	Type	Description
queries	array	Add one or more search phrases to look for across Reddit. If you also provide direct Reddit URLs below, the actor will use those URLs instead of these search keywords. Search ranking, time filters, and limits do not start a run by themselves without at least one Step 1 target.
sort	string (relevance \| hot \| top \| new \| comments)	Select how search results should be ranked so you can focus on the best matches, newest posts, most discussed threads, or other result types. This setting does not affect direct URL scraping. default "relevance"
timeframe	string (all \| year \| month \| week \| day \| hour)	Restrict search results to posts published within a specific time window when you want more recent or time-sensitive content. default "all"
subredditName	string	Enter the subreddit name you want to scrape, without the `r/` prefix. For example, use `technology` instead of `r/technology`. Leave subreddit keywords empty to collect a broader feed from that subreddit.
subredditKeywords	array	Optionally enter keywords to narrow the scrape to specific topics inside the selected subreddit. This only works when a subreddit name is also provided. Leave this empty if you want a broader set of posts from that community.
subredditSort	string (relevance \| hot \| top \| new \| comments)	Select how posts should be ranked when searching within the chosen subreddit so you can focus on relevance, recency, popularity, or discussion activity. default "relevance"
subredditTimeframe	string (all \| year \| month \| week \| day \| hour)	Restrict subreddit results to a specific posting period when you want recent activity or content from a defined time window. default "all"
urls	array	Paste one or more Reddit URLs, such as post links, comment permalinks, subreddit pages, user profiles, or Reddit search pages. When URLs are provided, the actor uses them directly and ignores the search keyword field. Ranking and limit controls still need at least one Step 1 target like these URLs to run.
scrapeComments	boolean	Enable this to collect comments along with each post. This adds richer discussion data, but it can make runs slower and produce much larger outputs. default false
maxComments	integer	Choose the maximum number of comments to collect from each post when comment scraping is enabled. Lower limits help keep runs faster and datasets smaller. default 50000
dateFrom	string	Choose the earliest post date you want to include. The actor will keep posts from this date forward, which is useful when you want to start a dataset at the beginning of a campaign, event, or reporting window.
dateTo	string	Choose the latest post date you want to include. This helps you stop the dataset at a clear cutoff point so you can review a finished period without newer posts entering the results.
commentDateFrom	string	Choose the earliest comment date you want to keep if comments should follow their own time window. This is helpful when you want to focus on replies from a later stage of a discussion.
commentDateTo	string	Choose the latest comment date you want to keep if comments need their own cutoff point. Use this when you want replies to stay inside a clearly defined analysis period.
forceSortNewForTimeFilteredRuns	boolean	Enable this when time-frame accuracy matters more than Reddit's default ranking. The actor will prefer newer-first result pages for eligible searches and listings so it can move through the date window more reliably. default false
includeNsfw	boolean	Enable this if you want posts marked as NSFW or 18+ to be included in the scrape results. default false
strictSearch	boolean	Enable this to make Reddit search rely more on the exact keywords you entered and less on loose semantic matching. This usually returns fewer posts, but the results stay closer to your query. default false
strictTokenFilter	boolean	Enable this to make the actor scan each saved post's title, body, and URL and keep only posts that match all of your query keywords. This reduces the output size, but keeps the most accurate results. default false
maxPosts	integer	Choose the maximum number of posts to collect for each search query or URL you provide. This helps balance coverage, run time, and dataset size. default 50000
maximize_coverage	boolean	Enable this to make the actor automatically widen coverage for each search seed using internal Reddit-focused logic instead of asking you for more settings. When turned on, the actor can combine multiple hidden tactics such as fanning out across a small internal sort set, testing additional Reddit search types, detecting the most common subreddits from early matching results, and spawning same-query subreddit-restricted searches for the strongest candidates. It can also use tighter chronological traversal when needed so the actor can keep exploring deeper slices of Reddit results while still keeping the keyword intent centered on your original query. This is useful when you want better recall from broad or competitive topics, but do not want to manage the extra search branches manually. default false
sentiment_analysis	boolean	Enable this to make the actor analyze each post using its title and body, and each scraped comment using its body, with the AFINN-165 sentiment lexicon. When turned on, the actor adds a numeric sentiment_score and a sentiment_label of positive, negative, neutral, mixed, or uncertain to the supported output records. This helps you sort or filter large Reddit datasets by overall tone without needing separate sentiment-processing infrastructure. default false
content_analysis	boolean	Enable this to classify each post using its title and body, with subreddit and flair used as supporting signals. When turned on, the actor adds content_category_label and content_category_path to post records so they are easier to group, filter, and analyze by topic. default false
mcpConnectors	array	Choose user-authorized MCP connectors for optional post-run summary delivery or workflow handoff. The actor sends counts, top scopes, top subreddits, skip and enrichment summaries, and dataset/report links. It does not send the full Reddit dataset through MCP by default. Leave empty to only save Reddit records to the Apify dataset and run artifacts to the key-value store. default []
