What you get from a post + comments scrape
On Reddit: the thread title, self-text or link, subreddit, and all visible comments with scores, authors, and parent/child relationships when thread depth is enabled.
On X: the post text, author handle, and replies with likes, reposts, and reply counts when engagement fields are toggled on.
You choose which columns to include before export. Turn off fields you do not need and the CSV stays lean.
Reddit: scrape a thread's post and comments
Open the Reddit post at reddit.com or old.reddit.com. Expand collapsed comment chains if you need deep replies; Reddit hides some until you click.
Open Social Scraper+ from the toolbar. Confirm the status pill says Reddit thread detected. Click Scrape Comments. Check the preview count matches what you expect.
Export to CSV for spreadsheets, JSON for scripts, or the AI button if you want a paste-ready prompt with the full thread attached.
X: scrape a post and its replies
Navigate to a public X post (a /status/ URL). Scroll to load lazy replies if the conversation is long.
Open the side panel, confirm X post detected, click Scrape Replies. Toggle handle and engagement fields in Settings if you care about likes and repost counts.
Download CSV or JSON. Filenames include an x- prefix and the post title so you can find exports later.
Tips for clean post and comment exports
One scrape = one thread or post. Researching five subreddits? Run five scrapes and keep the files in a dated folder.
For recurring monitoring, save the URL and re-scrape weekly. Comment counts grow; old exports go stale.
Social Scraper+ free tier includes 10 scrapes to test on real threads. Pro unlocks unlimited scrapes on one browser with a one-time license.
