Brief


What is Reddit Competitor Analysis API?


BrowserAct's Reddit Competitor Analysis API lets you extract posts and comments from Reddit search results through a single API request, without building crawler scripts or maintaining custom browser automation.

 

This API is designed for keyword-based discovery and deep comment extraction. Simply provide keywords, set date filters, choose sorting preferences, and specify how many comments to extract per post. BrowserAct will search relevant Reddit posts, open each post detail page, extract the complete post information and comments, and return it directly via API.

 

It is ideal for competitor monitoring, brand tracking, sentiment analysis, market research, and community insights.
