Fetch and export
The extension retrieves the full comment tree (author, body, score, timestamp, depth, and parent/child relationships), then exports it as CSV or JSON.
Under the hood, every fetch runs through FetchLayer's Reddit scraping API, which handles crawling Reddit threads reliably at scale (including pagination through deeply nested reply chains), so the extension can stay focused on giving you a clean, fast export.
Reddit Comments Scraper is built and published by FetchLayer, a data-extraction API for turning public web pages into structured, ready-to-use data.

Frequently asked questions
Is Reddit Comments Scraper a Chrome extension?
Yes. Reddit Comments Scraper is a free Chrome extension built on Manifest V3. It runs as a side panel in Chrome, so there's nothing to install outside the browser and no separate desktop app.
How do I export Reddit comments to CSV?
Install the Reddit Comments Scraper Chrome extension, open any public Reddit thread, click the extension icon to open the side panel, then choose CSV as the export format and click Export. The download includes every comment and reply, with columns for author, body, score, timestamp, depth, and parent/child IDs.
Does it capture nested replies, or only top-level comments?
It walks the entire comment tree, so nested replies at any depth are included by default. You can also cap the reply depth if you only need the first few levels.
Is Reddit Comments Scraper free to use?
The extension is free to install, and every account starts with free FetchLayer credits so you can try it on real threads right away. Once those credits run out, you can top up with pay-as-you-go credits that never expire. There's no subscription and no forced monthly fee.
What happens when my free credits run out?
You top up with pay-as-you-go credits through your FetchLayer account. Credits are billed per request, don't expire, and there's no subscription. You only pay again once you actually need more comments.
What powers the data fetching?
The extension is powered by the FetchLayer API, which handles crawling Reddit threads reliably so the extension can focus on giving you a clean CSV or JSON export.
