Checklist

What to look for in an API-style option

Prefer an official API when the source offers one that fits. Otherwise look for a maintained scraper with a clear schema, exports and pricing.

  • An official or well-documented API when the source offers one
  • If not: a maintained Apify Actor with clear input/output schema
  • Export formats (JSON/CSV) and webhook/API hooks for automation
  • Transparent usage pricing and run logs

Extract Reddit comments with their complete thread structure, including nested replies, user information, and engagement metrics. Results land as Apify dataset rows you can export as JSON/CSV — confirm the live schema on the Actor page.
