This detailed tutorial explains how to scrape Reddit posts and comments using Node.js. The guide walks you through Reddit’s JSON API endpoints, pagination with the 'after' parameter, and methods to access structured data without relying on third-party tools. It also discusses limitations on Reddit scraping, such as rate limits and partial access to subreddit data, and provides best practices for using residential and datacenter proxies (Smartproxy, IPRoyal) to maintain stable connections. You’ll also learn how to extract nested comments, identify 'kind' and 'parent_id' fields, and handle 'more' comment objects effectively in code. Whether you are a developer or a no-code user, this tutorial offers both coding solutions and API alternatives like Scrape Creators to collect Reddit data ethically and efficiently.
