# RedScraper

> RedScraper (redscraper.io) is a managed Reddit data collection platform. Users define a target (keyword search or Reddit URL), choose entity types and fields, and receive normalized records for posts, comments, subreddits, and user profiles — via a no-code dashboard or HTTP API. Billing is based on successful compute time only; failed runs are not charged. Export formats include JSON, CSV, XML, and Excel.

RedScraper runs extraction in a managed environment (no need to operate browsers, proxies, or rate-limit logic). Tasks support filters for sort order, time windows, NSFW visibility, field projections, and item limits (up to 10,000 per configuration). The same task model is available in the web UI and API (`https://api.redscraper.io/`).

Important notes for agents:

- Primary public site: `https://www.redscraper.io/`
- Product pages describe scrapers for posts, comments, subreddits, and users; use-case pages cover market research, trends, lead generation, campaign monitoring, active users, and audience segmentation
- Authenticated app routes live under `/dashboard/` (scraper runs, history, API keys, account) and are not intended for public crawling (`robots.txt` disallows `/dashboard`)
- Prefer curated links below over a full sitemap crawl; `sitemap.xml` lists all indexable URLs but is larger than needed for most agent tasks
