From Request to Clean JSON

You write one line. We do everything between the request and the data.

You send

One API call

GET the Reddit endpoint with your key. That's all your code does.

We handle

Proxies · captchas · parsing

Residential exit, anti-bot walls, JS rendering and extraction, all server-side, on us.

You get

Clean JSON

A structured object every time. No HTML, no scraping code, no maintenance.

The Reddit Post Comments endpoint is one API call: send a URL with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull the comment tree under any Reddit post, with author, body, score and nesting depth on every comment. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when Reddit changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON. Longer result sets come back page by page with a cursor, so you can walk the whole set without holding it in memory.

What the Reddit Post Comments API returns

comments[]

Each comment with author, text, like count and timestamp.

author

Commenter handle, ID and avatar.

likeCount / replyCount

Engagement on each comment.

cursor

Pagination token to pull the next page of results.

Example response

200 OK · application/json

  ],
  "cursor": "eyJvZmZzZXQiOjIwfQ"

Example request

cURL

curl "https://hproxy.com/api/v1/scrape/reddit/comments?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2Fpics%2Fcomments%2F1abcdef%2Fexample%2F" \

POST with a JSON body works too. Errors, timeouts and rate limits are never billed; a target that does not exist counts as a call.

Scraping Reddit post comments in three steps

Create a free account

Grab your API key

One key from the dashboard authenticates every scraper, Reddit post comments included.

Call the endpoint

Send the target to the Reddit Post Comments endpoint and read the JSON. That is the whole integration.

No captchas, ever

Anti-bot walls, JS rendering and rate limits are handled server-side. You call an API, that is the whole job.

Residential-backed

Every request exits through HProxy's own residential network, so it looks like a real user on a real device.

Pay per call

No subscription, no seat licenses. Calls are billed from your balance and the balance never expires.

Fresh on every call

Responses are scraped live at request time, no stale cache dressed up as data.

Errors are free

Blocked, errored or timed-out calls are not charged. A target that does not exist counts as a call, because the platform still had to be asked.

Scales with you

From one call to millions: same endpoint, same price curve, volume discounts as you grow.

What people build with it

Run sentiment and topic analysis on Reddit audiences.

Surface support issues or product feedback hiding in comments.

Detect spam, brigading or coordinated campaigns.

Reddit Post Comments scraper FAQ

How do I scrape Reddit post comments?

Send one authenticated HTTPS request to the Reddit Post Comments endpoint with a URL and your HProxy API key. Pull the comment tree under any Reddit post, with author, body, score and nesting depth on every comment. No proxies, no headless browser and no parsing on your side. The response is ready-to-use JSON.

What does the Reddit post comments scraper return?

A structured JSON object with the full post comments data Reddit exposes publicly. See the fields listed above. The schema is consistent across calls, so you integrate once and rely on it.

How much does it cost to scrape Reddit post comments?

This endpoint is 0.3¢ per successful call, which is $3.00 per 1,000. It bills from your HProxy balance with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Errors are retried and never charged; a lookup whose target does not exist counts as a call.

Can I pull more than one page of Reddit post comments?

Yes. The response carries a cursor; pass it back on the next call to continue from where you stopped. Each page is one billable call, so you only pay for the depth you actually pull.

Do I need my own proxies to scrape Reddit?

No. Every call runs on HProxy's own residential network behind the scenes, so requests look like real users. The proxy layer is already included in the per-call price.

Is scraping Reddit post comments allowed?

The API only accesses publicly available Reddit data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and Reddit's terms for your use case.
