Engine Architecture

Key Extraction Capabilities

Built specifically for high-throughput enterprise pipelines with zero credential leakage.

01

All 5 Native Search Dimensions

The official Reddit API restricts search primarily to basic post endpoints. UnitBytes unlocks all 5 search tabs—including Subreddits, Users, Media, and Comments—in one unified API.

02

No Commercial Approval Gate

Official API access requires commercial licensing agreements and rigorous developer verification. UnitBytes operates instantly with zero credentials.

03

Permanent HD Media CDN Links

Standard API queries return media URLs that expire in hours. UnitBytes normalizes all media assets to permanent CDN URLs so your reports and dashboards never break.

04

Unbeatable Unit Economics

At $0.50–$1.00 per 1,000 results with no monthly commitments, you can run daily brand monitoring at 90% lower cost than official enterprise licensing.

Developer & No-Code Automation

Integrate via Python SDK or 1-Click n8n Workflow

Run programmatically in 3 lines of Python or paste our ready-made workflow JSON directly onto your n8n canvas.

Python SDK • pip install apify-client
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run_input = {
    "searchQuery": "artificial intelligence",
    "subreddit": ""
}

run = client.actor("unitbytes/reddit-search-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item.get("title"), item.get("searchQuery"), item.get("url"))

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does Reddit keyword search monitoring cost?

You pay only $0.50 to $1.00 per 1,000 extracted search results under Apify Pay-Per-Event pricing, with zero monthly retainers.

Q: Can I search within a specific subreddit?

Yes. Fill in both searchQuery and subreddit. The scraper will restrict search results strictly to that community.

Q: Can I search for user profiles or communities?

Yes. Change searchTab to communities to find subreddits, or people to find user accounts and authors.

Q: What happens if no results match my search?

The actor finishes cleanly with exit code 0, outputs an empty dataset, and charges $0.00.
