Scraper workflow
Subreddit and thread layouts are relatively stable but rate limits bite. Benchmark latency and block rates on hot threads and search results.

Guidance
Reddit exposes JSON alongside HTML for many public views. Prefer structured endpoints when they cover your fields to reduce brittleness.
This hub compares vendors we tag for Reddit workflows. Still benchmark on large threads, controversial subs, and heavily moderated posts where HTML differs.
Rate limits and 429s appear quickly at scale. Design exponential backoff and distributed workers.
Respect subreddit rules and Reddit’s terms; some research belongs on approved datasets.
Ordering follows our editorial order within the Reddit-tagged vendor set. Moderation state (removed posts) affects completeness.
Decide if .json endpoints suffice before commissioning headless runs.
Handle deleted or removed content explicitly in your schema.
Monitor comment depth and pagination for AMA-style threads.
Cache subreddit listings with TTL aligned to your freshness SLA.
Evaluate licensing and completeness. Many teams combine official API access with vendor-managed scraping when archives are incomplete for their windowing needs.
