# n8n-nodes-reddit-scraper

An [n8n](https://n8n.io/) community node that runs the **[Apify Reddit Sentiment Scraper](https://apify.com/renzomacar/reddit-scraper)** Actor directly from your workflows.

Scrape **Reddit posts, comments and full threads with built-in sentiment scoring** — no login, no API key, no rate limits. Pull titles, authors, scores, nested comment trees and sort by hot, new, top or rising. Built for market research, social listening, brand monitoring and AI agents.

[n8n](https://n8n.io/) is a [fair-code licensed](https://docs.n8n.io/reference/license/) workflow automation platform.

## Installation

Follow the [community nodes installation guide](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/community-nodes/installation/) in the n8n docs.

In n8n: **Settings → Community Nodes → Install** and enter:

```
n8n-nodes-reddit-scraper
```

## Operations

- **Run Scraper** — runs the Reddit Sentiment Scraper Actor and returns one item per post or comment, including a sentiment score for each piece of text.

## Credentials

This node runs the Actor on **Apify infrastructure billed to your own Apify account**, so you need an Apify API token.

1. Create a free account at [apify.com](https://apify.com/).
2. Copy your API token from **Settings → Integrations** (or use OAuth2).
3. In n8n, create an **Apify API** credential and paste your token.

You only pay Apify's standard **pay-per-result** price for the runs you trigger — there is no extra charge for using this node.

## Usage

1. Add the **Apify Reddit Sentiment Scraper** node to your workflow.
2. Select your Apify credential.
3. Enter the subreddit, search term or Reddit URL, choose a sort order (hot / new / top / rising) and the max number of results.
4. Execute. Each post or comment is returned as a separate item with its sentiment score — pipe it straight into Google Sheets, a dashboard, a database, or an AI agent.

This node is also **usable as a tool** by n8n AI Agents, so an agent can pull live Reddit discussion and sentiment on demand.

## Compatibility

- Requires n8n with community node support (self-hosted, or n8n Cloud where verified community nodes are enabled).
- Node.js >= 18.10.
