FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I scrape multiple subreddits in one run?
Yes. Use the startUrls field to add multiple subreddit URLs. The actor will scrape each one in order and merge them into one dataset.
Q: Can I extract comments along with the posts?
Yes. Toggle scrapeComments: true and specify maxCommentsPerPost. The actor will harvest full discussions and replies for each post.
Q: What happens if a subreddit does not exist or is private?
The actor finishes cleanly with exit code 0, outputs an empty dataset, and charges $0.00.
Q: Are image and video links permanent?
Yes. Expiring Reddit media links are automatically converted to permanent high-definition CDN links that never expire.
