What it does

What the Reddit export
gives you

Every collapsed branch gets expanded before export, so a 2,000-comment thread comes out complete, with each reply's depth and parent order kept.

  • Any /comments/ thread, with exact timestamps
  • User profiles: posts and comments mixed, up to about 1,000 items
  • Subreddit and search pages as batches: the top 1 to 25 posts by comment count, up to 300 comments each
  • Posts you already saved are skipped in a batch

FAQ

Reddit export
questions

How do I export a Reddit thread to CSV?

Open the thread, click the CommentGrab widget and choose CSV. Every reply comes with its depth, points, author, exact time and permalink.

Does it get the collapsed replies?

Yes. It expands every “more replies” stub before exporting, so the whole tree is included.

Can I scrape a whole subreddit?

From a subreddit or search page, the popup builds a batch of the top 1 to 25 posts by comment count, with up to 300 comments each, and skips posts you already saved.

Do I need a Reddit API key?

No. It reads Reddit's public JSON from your browser, with no key and no account.

Is CommentGrab free for Reddit?

Yes. Every export is free, with no account and no credits. AI analysis is optional and runs on your own OpenAI key.

Does it send my Reddit data anywhere?

No. Exports and saved threads stay in your browser. The only outside service is OpenAI, and only when you start an analysis with your own key.
