This scraper uses simple .json requests, avoiding the need for official Reddit API keys, making it lightweight and easy to use.

Use with rotating proxies, or Reddit might gift you with an IP ban. I could extract max 2552 posts at once from 'r/all' using this.

<a href="https://files.catbox.moe/zdra2i.json">Here</a> is a 7.1 MB JSON file containing the top 100 posts from 'r/nosleep', which included post titles, body text, all comments and their replies, post scores, time of upload etc.
