Reddit Post Comments Export

PhantomBuster’s Reddit Post Comments Export Automation extracts entire comment threads, including text, timestamps, upvotes, and author details. This tool is ideal for analyzing conversations and supporting qualitative research.

• Input requirements: Provide a single Reddit post URL or a list via a public Google Sheet.

• Free plan limitations: CSV uploads are not available, and exports are limited to 10 rows per run.

• Rate limits: The Automation extracts approximately 4,000 comments per post before a short rate limit applies.

• Execution speed: Processing 1,000 comments takes approximately 40 seconds.

• Data limitations: Deleted or removed comments may not be accessible in the results.

1. Prepare Reddit Post URLs: Enter a single Reddit post URL or a list via a Google Sheet. For Google Sheets, ensure the sheet is public so PhantomBuster can access it.

2. Connect Your Reddit Account: Connect your Reddit account using the PhantomBuster browser extension or by manually providing your Reddit session cookie.

3. Configure Scraping Behavior: Set the maximum number of comments to scrape per post (leave blank to extract the maximum of ~4,000). Enable "Watcher mode" to monitor posts and extract only new comments on future runs.

4. Set Launch Frequency: Choose how often the Automation runs, such as manually or repeatedly, to suit your monitoring needs.

5. Launch the Automation: Start the Automation to begin extracting comment data for your selected Reddit posts.

This Automation is ideal for qualitative research and ongoing discussion monitoring. For a detailed walkthrough and troubleshooting tips, see the tutorial on the help center.
