Scrapes public Reddit posts · Free to start

Red Penguin Reddit Scraper People leave their email
on Reddit every day. Red Penguin finds the ones you want.

Type who you're after. Red Penguin reads thousands of public posts, pulls out the addresses people shared on purpose, checks each one and hands you a clean list of leads.

No card, no password. Two free searches a day.

A recording of the real thing. The addresses in it are made up.

Straight from Reddit

Every lead is a person who asked in public.

Freelancers looking for work, founders asking for feedback, teams that are hiring. They typed an email into a public post because they want to hear from someone. Red Penguin finds those posts and keeps the people who match who you're after.

Why it finds more

Every default was measured on Reddit first.

Most scrapers scroll a subreddit and hope. We tested what actually surfaces addresses, then built the tool around the answers.

It searches. It doesn't scroll.

Reading the newest 100 posts of a big founder subreddit found 0 emails. Eight searches in that same subreddit found 163. So this Reddit scraper searches.

It reads disguised addresses

name at gmail dot com is invisible to a normal scraper. Red Penguin decodes it, along with the spaced-out and spelled-out versions.

Every address gets a grade

A to F, from a mail-server check, the kind of domain, and whether it's a throwaway or a shared inbox. You pick the floor.

ABCDE

Never the same lead twice

It remembers every address it has given you. Run the same search next month and you only get people you haven't seen.

It knows who's who

Each lead is tagged: founder, freelancer, agency, hiring. About half of raw Reddit results aren't your buyer, and those stay out.

A first line, ready to send

Every row comes with the post title, the thread link and a personalization line you can drop straight into a sequence.

What you get

A list you can actually send to.

Not a dump of usernames. Checked addresses, with the context you need to write a first line that doesn't sound like a template.

Questions

The honest answers.

Is it really free?

Yes. Two searches a day with up to 50 leads each, on Red Penguin's own Reddit access, no card. The daily limit is only there to keep it fast for everyone.

What is a Reddit scraper?

A tool that reads Reddit for you and pulls out the data you care about. Most Reddit scrapers dump posts and comments into a spreadsheet and leave the rest to you. Red Penguin is built for one job: finding people who shared an email in a public post, checking each address, and handing you a lead list you can send to.

How is it different from other Reddit scrapers?

Three things. It searches Reddit with phrases measured to surface addresses instead of scrolling a subreddit. It reads disguised addresses like "name at gmail dot com". And it grades every address and tags who the person is (founder, freelancer, agency, hiring), so you get leads, not raw data. You don't write code or rent proxies.

What do I need to start?

An email address. That's it. You type it once and you're in.

Whose emails are these?

Addresses people typed into public Reddit posts themselves, usually because they want to hear from someone: freelancers looking for work, founders asking for feedback, teams that are hiring. Red Penguin doesn't guess addresses and it doesn't look anyone up elsewhere.

Does it post or message anyone on Reddit?

No. It reads, and that's all. It never logs into your Reddit account, and it has no code for posting, commenting, voting or sending messages.

Where does my data go?

Your leads live in your browser and your exports download to your computer. The only thing we keep is the email you signed in with.

Is this allowed?

Red Penguin uses Reddit's official API and only reads public posts. What you do with the list is your responsibility: keep to Reddit's terms and to the email laws where you send, such as CAN-SPAM and GDPR. Write to people about what they posted, and make it easy for them to say no.

Your first list is
about two minutes away.
