Xarchive

Reddit Archive Explorer

Search subreddit, user, and post captures from the Wayback Machine without leaving Xarchive.

Review historical Reddit URLs, inspect archive timestamps, and export the full result set in HTML, CSV, or JSON.

Search Filters
Search Reddit archive captures by subreddit, user profile, or direct Reddit URL via the Internet Archive CDX API.

Best for community-level discovery across subreddit pages, posts, and comments.

Collapses duplicate URL keys so repeated snapshots do not overwhelm the result set.

Subreddit and user searches use prefix matching to surface nested post and comment captures under the selected target.

Quick examples

Choose the Right Reddit Search Mode

Subreddit

Best for archive discovery across a whole community such as `r/programming`.

User

Best for checking profile history and content tied to one Reddit account.

Direct URL

Best for verifying a specific Reddit post, comment, or profile page.

How to Search Reddit Archives

Use subreddit mode when you want broad coverage for a community, user mode when you need a profile-level trail, and direct URL mode when you already know the exact Reddit page you want to verify. Xarchive queries Internet Archive CDX data and returns the captures that match your filters.

Data Source and Limits

Reddit results are sourced from the Internet Archive CDX index. Coverage depends on what the Wayback Machine crawled publicly, so older or less-linked Reddit pages may have sparse capture history.

Export Reddit Archive Snapshots

Once you find the captures you need, export them as HTML for quick review, CSV for spreadsheet analysis, or JSON for engineering and research workflows. Each export includes timestamps, source URLs, and archive metadata.
