Reddit User Scraper
Pull what a Reddit user has posted, what they've commented, or their public profile — karma, account age, and trophies — as clean, consistent JSON.
What you're collecting
"Scrape a user" can mean three different things: what they've posted, what they've said in comments across other people's posts, or who they are — karma, account age, trophies. UGC Scraper treats these as three separate, purpose-built endpoints rather than one bundle you have to pick fields out of.
A user's submitted posts
POST /v1/user returns up to 100 of a user's own submitted posts as summaries — the same shape as a subreddit listing.
curl -X POST https://api.ugcscraper.com/v1/user \
-H "Authorization: Bearer rps_live_your_key" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"target":"spez","limit":25}'A user's comments, with post context
POST /v1/user/comments returns that user's own comments, each paired with the title and body of the post it was posted on — so you don't have to make a second call to know what they were replying to. Supports an after/before Unix-timestamp cursor for paging through a large comment history. See the Reddit Comment Scraper page for the full output shape.
A user's public profile
POST /v1/user/profile returns the public profile fields Reddit exposes: karma, account age, admin/premium/ verified-email status, trophy case, and their moderator-of list (when not hidden by the user's own privacy setting).
curl -X POST https://api.ugcscraper.com/v1/user/profile \
-H "Authorization: Bearer rps_live_your_key" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"target":"spez"}'{
"username": "spez",
"post_karma": 184021,
"comment_karma": 756248,
"total_karma": 940269,
"created_utc": 1118030400,
"is_admin": true,
"has_verified_email": true,
"is_premium": true,
"trophies": ["15-Year Club", "Verified Email", "Reddit Premium", "..."],
"moderator_of": null,
"is_mod": true
}moderator_of is null when the account moderates somewhere but has hidden the list — is_mod stays true either way, so "hidden" and "moderates nothing" (an empty list) stay distinguishable.
Not available
Private fields Reddit itself never exposes publicly — birthdate, email, phone number, payment info, private messages, saved/hidden content — for any account, not just this one. None of that is fabricated or guessed; it's simply absent.
Practical use cases
- Moderator/community research— see who's active and moderating in the communities you track.
- Account verification signals — karma and account age as a lightweight trust signal before engaging with an account programmatically.
- Contributor analysis— pair a user's post history with their comment history to understand one account's full footprint in a research dataset.
