Who is it for?

Product & UX Researchers

Take a whole community's recent posts in one pass instead of guessing which keyword surfaces the pain points.

Founders & Indie Builders

Read the subreddit your buyers actually live in — 500 posts of complaints beats 5 customer interviews.

Content & SEO Teams

Sort a community's Top-of-year export by score and you have a validated content calendar in an afternoon.

Data Scientists & Academics

Posts and their full comment trees come out of one run, already joined — no stitching two exports together.

Community Managers

Snapshot your own subreddit monthly and diff the exports to see what changed in mood and volume.

Agencies & Consultants

Deliver a community deep-dive for a client without registering a Reddit developer app.

Key Benefits

Everything you need to extract Reddit data efficiently

Up to 1,000 Posts Per Run

Subreddit listings go four times deeper than Reddit search does. Pick 100, 250, 500, or 1,000 posts — the whole run still counts as one on your plan.

Posts and Comments in One Pass

Choose Posts + Comments and the extension collects the posts first, then walks back through each one and drains its entire comment tree. No second run, no manual list.

Your Sort, Your Timeframe

Hot, New, Top, Rising, and Controversial all work, and Top respects the time window you picked. The extension follows the tab you are already on instead of asking you to set it twice.

Engagement Signals on Every Row

Score, upvote ratio, comment count, awards, and flair land as columns — so 'high comments, low upvote ratio' is one spreadsheet sort away from finding the contested threads.

No API Key, No Developer App

No OAuth application to register, no 60-requests-per-minute quota to live inside, no client secrets. The extension reads the JSON your own browser session already receives.

One File, Post Context Included

In a Posts + Comments export every comment row carries its parent post's title, author, score, and URL — so a single flat CSV is enough to work from.

How to Use Reddit Subreddit Scraper

Get started in under 2 minutes. No coding or API keys required.

  1. 1

    Install InsightSocial

    Add the free Chrome extension. No credit card, no API keys, no coding.

  2. 2

    Open the Subreddit

    Go to reddit.com/r/{subreddit} — the front page, or the Hot, New, Top, Rising, or Controversial tab.

  3. 3

    Set Sort and Timeframe on Reddit

    Use Reddit's own tabs and time filter. Top of the past year reads very differently from New, and the export follows whichever you chose.

  4. 4

    Open the Extension

    Click the InsightSocial icon. It recognises the community and shows which sort it is about to follow.

  5. 5

    Choose Posts or Posts + Comments

    Posts collects up to 1,000 submissions. Posts + Comments takes 25, 50, or 100 posts and adds the full comment tree under each one.

  6. 6

    Export to CSV, Excel, or JSON

    Download when the run finishes, or browse and re-export later from your dashboard on any device.

Quick Start Checklist

  • Chrome browser installed
  • Free InsightSocial account (optional)
  • 2 minutes of your time

Frequently Asked Questions

Up to 1,000 per run, which is where Reddit's own listing stops — the same wall you hit scrolling the page yourself. Targets are 100, 250, 500, and 1,000. That is four times deeper than Reddit search allows, which stops handing out results at roughly 250.
