GuidesHow to scrape Reddit data without code

Paste a Reddit post URL to export the full comment thread.

Note: Reddit may rate limit large exports. Use Max Rows for safer runs.

How It Works

Reddit exposes a public JSON endpoint for each post at /comments/<post_id>.json. This tool fetches that endpoint and flattens nested replies into a single exportable table.

Large threads often include "more" placeholders instead of returning every comment at once. Export All expands those placeholders via /api/morechildren.json until there are no more blocks or you hit your Max Rows limit.

Step 3

Choose Export Mode

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Reddit account?
No. This tool uses Reddit's public JSON endpoint and does not require authentication for public posts.
Why do I need the Lection extension?
Browsers block cross-site requests to reddit.com (CORS). The extension runs the request locally and returns the response to this page.
Will this include every single reply?
It exports the comments returned by the JSON endpoint and flattens nested replies. Some very large threads may include "more" placeholders that require additional endpoints.
How do I export more than 200 comments?
Use Export All. It expands Reddit's "more" placeholders via /api/morechildren.json until there is nothing left (or until you hit Max Rows).
