Features
What the Reddit Search Scraper & API ($0.50/1k) Extracts
All 5 Native Search Dimensions
The official Reddit API restricts search primarily to basic post endpoints. UnitBytes unlocks all 5 search tabs—including Subreddits, Users, Media, and Comments—in one unified API.
No Commercial Approval Gate
Official API access requires commercial licensing agreements and rigorous developer verification. UnitBytes operates instantly with zero credentials.
Permanent HD Media CDN Links
Standard API queries return media URLs that expire in hours. UnitBytes normalizes all media assets to permanent CDN URLs so your reports and dashboards never break.
Unbeatable Unit Economics
At $0.50–$1.00 per 1,000 results with no monthly commitments, you can run daily brand monitoring at 90% lower cost than official enterprise licensing.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I search within a specific subreddit?
Yes. Fill in both searchQuery and subreddit. The scraper will restrict search results strictly to that community.
Q: Can I search for user profiles or communities?
Yes. Change searchTab to communities to find subreddits, or people to find user accounts and authors.
Q: What happens if no results match my search?
The actor finishes cleanly with exit code 0, outputs an empty dataset, and charges $0.00.
Q: Are the media links permanent?
Yes. All image and video links are automatically converted to permanent high-definition CDN links that never expire in your spreadsheets or dashboards.
