FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a Reddit API key or OAuth developer app?
No. The Actor runs zero-login in the cloud without Reddit API keys, OAuth tokens, or rate-limit quotas.
Q: Are extracted Reddit image and video links permanent?
Yes. Reddit's default preview URLs contain temporary tokens that expire within hours. Our engine converts every image and gallery asset into a permanent CDN URL (https://i.redd.it/...).
Q: How are nested comment threads structured in the dataset?
When scrapeComments: true or when scraping post URLs, the engine extracts both root comments (depth: 0, parentId: null) and deep reply trees (depth: 1, 2, 3+) with parentId and postId foreign keys.
Q: How does Pay-Per-Event pricing work for Reddit extraction?
Standard runs cost $1.00 per 1,000 items ($0.001/item), with volume discounts down to $0.50 per 1,000 items on higher Apify plan tiers.
