COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you run the workflow

Do I need a Reddit API key or login?

No. The Actor uses public Reddit data and a bounded archive fallback when the live source is unavailable.

Why might a very recent post be missing?

Public sources and archives can lag. Widen the lookback window or rerun later.

Can I schedule daily monitoring?

Yes. Save the input as an Apify task and add a schedule, webhook, or API integration.

START WITH A BOUNDED SAMPLE

Open the Actor, keep the sample small, and inspect the first dataset.
