Project Arctic Shift is an archive of Reddit data (posts, comments) made accessible through large compressed dumps, a limited API, and a web search interface. It includes helper Python scripts for processing the .zst/.jsonl dump files.
Use cases
- download historical reddit comments and posts for research
- search archived reddit data by username or subreddit
- analyze reddit social media trends over time
- replace pushshift for reddit data access
- process large compressed reddit dump files in python
- moderation research on deleted reddit content
When to choose
- you need bulk historical Reddit data for research or analysis
- Pushshift is unavailable and you need an alternative archive
- you want a web interface or API to query archived Reddit content
When to avoid
- you need real-time Reddit data rather than archived dumps
- you need a fully supported API with SLAs - the API is explicitly limited
- you require a formally licensed dataset - the repository has no license
