Frequently asked questions
Does it capture nested replies, not just top-level comments?
Yes. The actor walks the full comment tree recursively and expands collapsed "load more comments" branches, so replies many levels deep are returned. Each record carries `depth` (0 = top level) and `parentId` so you can reconstruct the thread.
How do I get only top-level comments?
Set `maxDepth` to `0`. Set it to `1` for top-level plus direct replies, and so on. Leave it empty to walk every level.
Can I pull comments from a whole subreddit?
Yes. Pass subreddit names in `subreddits` and the actor collects comments from the subreddit's recent posts, up to your `maxItems`.
Is the full comment text included?
Yes. Every record carries the complete `body` text. Comments that Reddit has deleted or removed (which have no text) are skipped so the body is always present.
Do I need a proxy or API key?
No API key. The actor uses residential proxies by default, so you do not need to configure anything. You can supply your own proxy configuration if you prefer.
