Reddit RAG dump: 90 days of r/X, posts + comments

Past the official ~1,000-post cap. I run a sample on your subreddit and window, then deliver JSON, CSV, or JSONL. You do not download a multi-terabyte torrent or keep an archive API alive.

Free sample — start here

One subreddit, the most recent week of posts and comments, delivered as CSV or JSON. No charge. Email which subreddit you want and I send the file.

Email a dump quote Run the r/Python sample

Inbound only. I do not cold-email Store users. New buyers start here or on the Actor page.

Before booking, inspect nine real sample rows or follow the n8n import and refresh guide. The sample contains selected fields and shortened text from a January 2024 r/Python check.

Who this is for

People building a retrieval corpus who need what a subreddit said over months, not what is on the front page this morning. Typical job: last 90 days of r/MachineLearning plus comments, chunked for a vector store. Live scrapers stop at Reddit’s listing cap. Academic Torrents still leaves you with a warehouse of .zst files.

What you get

After the free sample, these are the paid next steps:

Package Scope Price
Backfill sample 1 subreddit, 90 days, posts + comments, up to 5,000 rows $250 (credited if you take a dump)
Dump 1–3 subreddits, named window, up to 250k rows, one delivery $2,000–$4,000
Fat dump Large window or multi-sub pack, up to 1M rows $5,000–$8,000
Refresh Same filters, weekly or monthly, same sink $400–$900 / mo

A managed weekly feed is also available: new posts and comments from your subreddit every week, delivered as CSV or JSON (other formats on request). Email if you want that set up.

Row caps are delivery caps, not a promise the archive holds that many items. Thin windows still bill the booked package. You pay Apify usage on your account unless the quote bundles a cap.

Self-serve Actor costs, checked 5 September 2026: Free tier: $3 per 1,000 saved posts or comments, plus $0.005 for each post whose comment fetch returns eligible comments. Gold: $2.40 per 1,000 rows plus $0.004 per non-empty thread. A start event also applies per GB of memory, minimum one: $0.00005 Free or $0.00004 Gold. At 512 MB, the nine-row sample with three non-empty threads is $0.04205 before discounts. These are Actor event fees; confirm your plan and maximum run charge in Apify before starting.

Fields that actually land in a RAG pack

Not in this SKU: user-history scrape, comment-body full-text search, deleted-content recovery, or legal cover for how you use the text.

Dump vs torrent vs running the Actor

Path Use it when
Store Actor You want a small or weekly pull and will start the run yourself
This dump You want 50k–1M rows delivered once, with a sample first
Arctic Shift / Academic Torrents You already have disk, DuckDB, and time to parse monthly dumps

Proof already on file

A paid dump still starts with a new sample on your subreddit. That proof run is not your corpus.

How to order

  1. Email the subreddit you want. I send the free sample: the most recent week of posts and comments, CSV or JSON.
  2. For a paid dump, email the subreddit(s), window, comments on/off, and delivery format.
  3. I run a sample (or you run the public Task) and we confirm fields.
  4. You pay the booked package. I deliver once to the sink you named.

Questions

Why not download Academic Torrents or Arctic Shift myself?

Those archives are terabytes of compressed monthly files. You still pick subreddits, parse zst, join comments to posts, and cut a date window. The dump is that work already done for named communities.

Is this a Pushshift replacement?

No. Public Pushshift is gone. The Actor reads PullPush and Arctic Shift and fails over when one is down. Coverage follows those archives. I do not sell a complete firehose or a deleted-content vault.

Can I just run the Apify Actor myself?

Yes. Free-tier pricing is $3 per 1,000 saved posts or comments, plus $0.005 per post with returned comments and a memory-based start fee. Gold prices are $2.40 per 1,000 rows and $0.004 per non-empty comment thread. Use the Actor for self-serve pulls; the service adds scoped sampling, export checks and delivery.

Do you scrape usernames or search comment bodies?

No. RAG-only: named subreddits, a date window, posts and comments. No user-history scrape and no comment-body full-text search.
