Reddit Post Comments API
Scrape Reddit Post Comments data with one API call. Returns the full threaded comment tree for a Reddit post. Nested replies are auto-expanded by following upstream pagination, so a single call returns the deep tree (not just top-level comments). Each comment includes the author, body, score, direct-reply count, awards, creation timestamp, and a recursive `replies[]` array. Comment ids are unique within a response: cursor windows can re-offer a boundary node, and those are de-duplicated before the tree is returned. Very large threads are bounded: any branch left unexpanded exposes an `ext.replies_cursor`, and `data.truncated` is true when more remains. `truncated: false` therefore means you have every comment the listing serves. That can still be fewer than the post's own `engagement.comments`, because Reddit counts removed, deleted, and filtered replies that the listing never returns to anyone.

Returns the full comment tree for a post, each comment with author, body, score, direct-reply count, awards, timestamp, and its nested replies.
Use it when you want the whole discussion rather than only top-level comments. Reddit's own comment count includes removed and filtered replies the listing never serves, so it runs higher.

Find answers to frequently asked questions about SocialCrawl's API, pricing, and capabilities.
Contact usHow do I fetch Reddit comments for a post?
Send a GET request to /v1/reddit/post/comments with the full post URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl returns a threaded comment tree including author, body text, score, reply count, awards, and creation timestamp for every comment.
Are replies nested or flat in the response?
Replies are nested. Each comment has a replies array containing its direct children, which in turn contain their own replies. Walk the tree recursively to process the full conversation, or flatten it if you only need a sentiment snapshot.
How do I load more replies on deep threads?
Usually you don't need to. The endpoint returns the full tree by default, auto-following Reddit's nested reply pages for you. Only on very large threads that hit the expansion limit does the response set data.truncated and include a cursor at each unexpanded branch. Pass that cursor as the cursor parameter to fetch the rest.
Do you return deleted or removed comments?
Reddit replaces deleted comments with placeholder text and removed comments with moderator notices. SocialCrawl returns them as-is so your pipeline can detect and filter them. The original body text is not recoverable from the public endpoint.
How much does the Reddit Comments API cost?
Each call is a flat 5 credits on the advanced tier, regardless of thread size. It costs more than a basic read because it returns the entire comment tree in one call, auto-expanding Reddit's nested reply pages for you across multiple upstream fetches. Very large threads stop at a safety limit and hand back a cursor to continue. New accounts get 100 free credits, and trim=true keeps payloads light.
