Crawl4AI Cloud

reddit-user

What one Reddit account posted and commented, one row per item: kind (post or comment), title (a comment carries its post's title), the item's page, subreddit, score, comment count (posts only), time and the first 300 characters. user is the name, u/name or the profile URL; kind posts, comments or both; sort new, hot or top; limit up to 250 per kind. session (your reddit_session cookie, used for this run only, never stored) is optional. Without session it reads Reddit's public JSON as a visitor (a few seconds; Reddit refuses some of our addresses).
