Most Reddit scrapers broke in 2026. The old .json URL trick is returning 403s, PRAW hits rate limits fast, and building your own scraper means dealing with OAuth setup, proxy rotation, and constant maintenance. In this video I'll show you a Reddit scraper that actually still works — ScrapeBadger's Reddit Scraper API.
We'll walk through all 22 endpoints covering posts, comments, subreddits, and user data, then run two of the most popular ones live: Search Posts and Post Comments. Clean JSON back in seconds. No Reddit API key needed. No scraping infrastructure to maintain.
✅ Works after Reddit's 2023 API overhaul and 2026 JSON endpoint changes
✅ 22 endpoints — search, posts, comments, subreddits, users
✅ Full nested comment trees with depth control
✅ Handles TLS fingerprinting, proxy rotation, and anti-bot bypass automatically
✅ Free trial — 1,000 credits, no credit card required
Perfect for sentiment analysis, brand monitoring, content research, and building Reddit-powered tools.
