The Reddit comments scraper for full discussion threads
Kavex's Reddit comments scraper exports the entire comment thread of any Reddit post into a spreadsheet. The comments under a post are where the real conversation happens — the recommendations, the counterarguments, the verbatim customer language a search result alone never shows. You give a list of Reddit post URLs, and Kavex returns every comment with its author, full text, score, nesting depth and timestamp. It is built for researchers analysing a discussion, content teams pulling quotes, and growth teams reading exactly how people talk about a topic before they reply.
Sign up to useWhat it does
Provide Reddit post URLs, one per line. For each post Kavex walks the comment tree and returns every comment with the author, full comment text, score, the reply depth (so you can see what replies to what) and the timestamp it was posted.
Use cases
- Discussion analysis — read every reply on a thread in one spreadsheet
- Pulling verbatim customer quotes for research or content
- Sentiment analysis on the conversation under a launch or review post
- Finding the most upvoted answers and recommendations in a thread
Sample output
Each row is one comment: post_url, author, comment, score, depth, created_at, comment_url. Add the Review Sentiment add-on to tag each comment positive, neutral or negative.
How it works
Paste your Reddit post URLs on the configure page, set how many comments to pull per post, and run. Kavex walks each thread for you, including nested replies. Use the Reddit Search scraper first to build the list of posts worth reading.
Frequently asked questions
Does it include nested replies?
Yes — Kavex walks the full comment tree and the depth column tells you how deeply nested each reply is, so you can reconstruct the conversation.
How many comments does it pull per post?
You set a per-post limit on the configure page; Kavex returns the comments up to that limit, prioritising the top of the thread.
How fresh is the data?
Every scrape is live — you get the comments exactly as they stand on the post at run time, not a cached copy.
Where do I get the post URLs?
Paste them directly, or run the Reddit Search scraper first — its post_url column feeds straight into this scraper.
