Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does it cost to scrape subreddit feeds?

Under Apify Pay-Per-Event pricing, scraping 1,000 subreddit posts costs $0.50 to $1.00 depending on your plan tier, with zero monthly minimums.

Q: Can I scrape multiple subreddits in one run?

Yes. Use the startUrls field to add multiple subreddit URLs. The actor will scrape each community in order and merge them into one clean dataset.

Yes. Toggle scrapeComments to true and specify maxCommentsPerPost. The actor will harvest full discussions and replies for each post.
