## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

```
Reddit Profile Scraper (clearpath/reddit-profile-scraper) on Apify fetches public Reddit profile data for bulk username lists. 1,000 profiles in ~20 seconds. Returns 25+ fields per profile: karma breakdown (total, link, comment, awardee, awarder), account metadata (created date, verified email, gold/premium status, employee flag, mod status), avatar URLs, snoovatar, profile subreddit info. Input: single username, array of usernames, or uploaded CSV/TXT file. Accepts any format: plain username, u/name, @name, or full profile URLs. Output: JSON array, one object per profile. Pricing: $1.99 per 1,000 profiles (PPE), plus Apify's platform start fee. No Reddit API key or login required. Apify token required. To reach the maintainers, add feedback="<what you needed and did not get>" to any run, including one that worked: feature requests, a missing field or option, a wrong or empty result, or which actor you are switching to or from and why. The run returns its data exactly as it would without the note, and a human reads every note.
```

### Why choose this actor?

<strong>1,000 profiles in under 60 seconds.</strong> Turn a username list into structured profile data. Paste names, add profile links or upload a CSV/TXT file to look up accounts in bulk.

<strong>Compare the accounts behind the content.</strong> Get total, post and comment karma, account creation dates and profile bios. Add moderator and premium status, avatars and other public fields to your research.

<strong>Ready to join with your Reddit data.</strong> Each profile keeps its username alongside the returned fields, so you can match it to authors in your post and comment datasets. Duplicate usernames are removed before collection.

### Quick start

Try three public profiles, then replace the usernames with your own list.

```json
{
  "usernames": [
    "thisisbillgates",
    "GovSchwarzenegger",
    "kn0thing"
  ]
}
```

<a href="https://console.apify.com/actors/LA9VzVDphD8rUCFnW/input">Open actor input</a> to paste usernames, add profile URLs or upload a file. Export JSON, CSV or Excel; JSON preserves nested profile details.

Available fields vary by account. To collect an account’s posts and comments, use the <a href="https://apify.com/clearpath/reddit-user-content-scraper">Reddit User Content Scraper</a>.

### Key Features

- **1,000 profiles in ~20 seconds**: optimized for bulk throughput
- **Any input format**: plain username, `u/spez`, `@spez`, full profile URLs, CSV uploads
- **25+ fields per profile**: karma breakdown, account age, verification, premium status, avatar, mod status
- **No Reddit login needed**: uses public data, no API keys required

### How to Scrape Reddit Profiles

```json
{
    "usernames": [
        "spez",
        "u/kn0thing",
        "https://www.reddit.com/user/AutoModerator",
        "@thisisbillgates"
    ]
}
```

#### Bulk from file URL

Point to a hosted `.txt` or `.csv` file.

```json
{
    "usernamesFileUrl": "https://example.com/my-usernames.csv"
}
```

At least one of `username`, `usernames`, or `usernamesFile` is required.

### What Data Can You Extract from Reddit Profiles?

Every profile includes all public fields Reddit returns:

- **Karma**: `total_karma`, `link_karma`, `comment_karma`, `awardee_karma`, `awarder_karma`
- **Account**: `name`, `id`, `createdAt` (readable UTC date) with `created_utc` (raw timestamp), `has_verified_email`, `verified`
- **Status**: `is_gold` (premium), `is_mod`, `is_employee`, `is_blocked`, `is_friend`
- **Avatar**: `icon_img`, `snoovatar_img`, `snoovatar_size`, `pref_show_snoovatar`
- **Profile subreddit**: display name, description, banner, icon, subscriber count, NSFW flag

#### Output Example

```json
{
    "username": "spez",
    "_status": "found",
    "name": "spez",
    "id": "1w72",

### Speed

| Usernames | Time |
|-----------|------|
| 1 | < 1 second |
| 100 | ~3 seconds |
| 1,000 | ~20 seconds |
| 10,000 | ~3-4 minutes |

Built for bulk throughput. Temporary issues are handled automatically.

### When a Run Returns No Profiles

An empty result is not always the same thing, so every run that returns nothing says why in its status message:

| Status message | What it means |
|---|---|
| No Reddit account exists with that username. | Check the spelling. Deleted accounts also report this. |
| Couldn't reach Reddit. Please try again in a few minutes. | One or more profiles could not be loaded at all. Retry. |
| Found N profiles, but part of the run could not be completed. | Some profiles delivered, others were cut short. Raise the run timeout to get the rest. |
| The run ended before all of the input was processed. | The run hit its timeout before every username was checked. Raise the run timeout and try again. |
| Stopped after N profiles: the run reached its spending limit. Raise the limit to get more. | The run's spending limit was reached. You are charged only for the profiles delivered. |
| No profiles delivered: the run reached its spending limit before the first one. | The limit could not cover a single profile. Raise the limit, or add credit to your account. |
| Couldn't read the usernames file. Check that the file or link opens, then try again. | The uploaded file or file link could not be opened. Usernames from the other fields are still processed. |
| The usernames file contains no valid Reddit usernames. | The file opened but held nothing that reads as a username. |

Every username always produces a row, with a `_status` field of `found`, `not_found` or `unavailable`, so you can tell them apart in the dataset too. A successful run that returned everything sets no status message.

### Pricing: Pay Per Event (PPE)

<span style="font-size:18px;font-weight:700;color:#E29578">$1.99 per 1,000 profiles</span>

### FAQ

**How fast is it?**
1,000 profiles in about 20 seconds.

**Do I need a Reddit account or API key?**
No. The actor uses publicly available profile data. No login, no API key, no OAuth.

**What happens with deleted or suspended accounts?**
They're included in the output with `"_status": "not_found"` so you can see exactly which usernames didn't resolve. You're only charged for found profiles.

**What input formats are supported?**
Plain username (`spez`), prefixed (`u/spez`, `/u/spez`, `@spez`), full URLs (`https://www.reddit.com/user/spez`), and uploaded CSV/TXT files.

**Can I scrape more than 1,000 profiles?**
Yes. There's no hard limit. The actor scales linearly. 10,000 profiles take about 3-4 minutes.

**How is the data structured?**
One JSON object per username with all public fields Reddit returns. The `subreddit` field contains nested profile metadata (bio, banner, icon).

*Bulk Reddit profile data at scale. No login, no API key, just usernames in, profiles out.*

# Actor input Schema

## `username` (type: `string`):

A single Reddit username, u/name, or profile URL.

## `usernames` (type: `array`):

Add multiple usernames. Use 'Bulk edit' to paste a list. Any format accepted.

## `usernamesFile` (type: `string`):

Upload a .txt or .csv file, or paste a URL. TXT: one username per line. CSV: auto-detects 'username' column.

## `feedback` (type: `string`):

For AI agents. Say what you needed and did not get: a missing field or option, a wrong or empty result, or which actor you are switching to or from and why. Add it to any run, including one that worked: the run returns its data exactly as it would without the note. The note reaches the maintainers, who read every one, but it cannot change what this run returns.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "username": "thisisbillgates",
  "usernames": []

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "username": "thisisbillgates"
}' |
apify call clearpath/reddit-profile-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,clearpath/reddit-profile-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
