}What it costs
About $0.013 for 5 posts
An estimate: 5 × $0.0026 per result (One Reddit post, comment, community or user saved to the dataset). A run is charged for the events it reports, so one that finds fewer posts costs less. Platform usage is included in the event price.
When to use this example
From the Reddit Scraper Lite readme:
How many results can I get?
As many as you set in maxItems, with no fixed ceiling. Reddit's own listings and searches stop at about 1,000 posts each, so split large jobs by community, sort, or time range.
Why is a field empty?
Not every Reddit object has every field. Link posts have no body text, deleted comments have no author, and scores, comment counts, and media only appear with includeMediaLinks.
