Frequently asked questions

What media does it pull from Reddit?

Direct images and GIFs from i.redd.it, videos from v.redd.it (with the highest mp4 fallback when available), and every image inside a multi-image gallery. Posts with no media are skipped, not returned as errors.

Does it include media hosted off Reddit?

Yes, by default. With `includeExternal` enabled it captures links to imgur, gfycat, redgifs and streamable. Turn it off to keep only Reddit-hosted media on i.redd.it and v.redd.it.

How is maxItems counted?

It counts media items, not posts. A single gallery post with ten images counts as ten toward your `maxItems`, since the scraper emits one record per image.

Can I limit it to only images or only videos?

Yes. Set `mediaTypes` to any subset of image, video, gif and gallery. Leave all four selected to capture everything a community posts.

What happens with a post that fails to load?

A post that fails to load is written as a record with an `error` field instead of being silently dropped. Posts that simply have no media are skipped without an error.
