Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a subreddit scraper?

This actor searches across all of Reddit by keyword, so you find every mention of a term wherever it appears. A subreddit scraper pulls a community's feed regardless of topic. Use this one to monitor mentions; use a feed scraper to follow specific communities.

Can I search several terms at once?

Yes. Add each term to `searchQueries` and every result carries a `matchedQuery` field so you know which term found it.

Can I limit the search to certain subreddits?

Yes. Fill `subreddits` to restrict the search to those communities. Leave it empty to search all of Reddit.

Does it return the full post text?

With Fetch Full Post Text enabled, every self/text post carries its complete `selftext` body. Link posts have no body text, so the external `url` is populated instead.

How many results can I collect?

Set `maxItems` to whatever you need. Each query pages through results and the total is capped by `maxItems` across all your terms.
