Common questions

Is Reddit Scraper (Apify) – posts, comments, search, users, subreddits safe?

It passed 5 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization, APIFY_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 23 days ago, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 31 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

Reddit Scraper MCP server

MCP server for the Reddit Scraper Apify Actor. Gives Claude, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, ChatGPT and any other MCP client three tools for Reddit as structured JSON: keyword search, URL scraping with full comment threads, and bulk subreddit pulls. No Reddit API key, no login. Billed per result on Apify ($2 per 1,000 results, less with Apify plan discounts; the free plan covers small runs).

Reddit API and RSS shutdown. Reddit stops accepting new API access requests on 2026-10-31. Reddit RSS feeds stop on 2026-11-13. This server does not use a Reddit API key, a Reddit app or RSS, so neither date changes your setup.

Two ways to connect. Both need an Apify token. No Apify account yet? Sign up free, then copy the token from https://console.apify.com/account/integrations.

Option A — remote (nothing to install)

Apify hosts the Actor as an MCP tool:

"mcpServers": { "reddit-scraper": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=harshmaur/reddit-scraper", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } }

Stdio-only clients can bridge with npx mcp-remote https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=harshmaur/reddit-scraper. This is the endpoint registered in the official MCP Registry as io.github.harshmaur/reddit-scraper.

Option B — local stdio server (this repo)

Purpose-built tools with typed arguments, so the model fills in queries, subreddit, postedAfter instead of a raw Actor input object.

"mcpServers": { "reddit-scraper": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "reddit-scraper-mcp"], "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": " " } } } }

Published on npm as reddit-scraper-mcp. Or clone and run node index.js. Node 20+.

Tool	Use it for
`search_reddit`	Keyword search across Reddit or one subreddit; sort, time window, date range; matching comments and post threads on by default. Brand monitoring, lead discovery, "what is Reddit saying about X".
`scrape_reddit_urls`	Post permalinks (with the full thread), `/user/ /` profiles, subreddit listing URLs, search-page URLs.
`scrape_subreddit`	Bulk posts from one or more subreddits, optionally date-bounded; comment threads on by default.

Environment:

Variable	Default	Meaning
`APIFY_TOKEN`	required	Apify API token
`REDDIT_SCRAPER_ACTOR`	`harshmaur/reddit-scraper`	Set to `harshmaur/reddit-scraper-pro` to run the Pro listing instead
`REDDIT_SCRAPER_TIMEOUT`	`300`	Seconds to wait for a run

Every item carries dataType (post, comment, community, user_profile); posts include title, body, postUrl, communityName, authorName, score, commentsCount, createdAt, flair. Field reference: https://apify.com/harshmaur/reddit-scraper#output-example

Automation templates

templates/n8n/ — importable n8n workflows: Reddit mentions → Slack, Reddit lead alerts → Google Sheets.
templates/make/ — Make scenario recipe for Slack, Notion or Sheets.
Published n8n templates: new subreddit posts to Slack, Reddit keyword mentions to Slack and Gmail.
Published Make templates: daily Reddit keyword alerts to Slack, AI lead scoring to Slack.

The Actor can also deliver results itself (Slack, Notion, Airtable, Sheets) through its mcpConnector input, with an Apify Schedule as the trigger, if you prefer no middleware.
