How to Export Data from Reddit Ads and Automate Your Reporting

Getting your campaign data out of Reddit Ads is a thorny path. The native dashboard stores only 6 months of history. CSV downloads are manual and static. Campaigns inactive for 90 days can vanish entirely. 

However, you don’t have to click Export and reformat a spreadsheet for your weekly reporting. Thousands of advertisers already automate their Reddit Ads data export with Coupler.io.

How to automate Reddit Ads export data with Coupler.io

Coupler.io is a data integration platform & AI analytics with 400+ connectors. It pulls your Reddit Ads data into spreadsheets, BI tools, data warehouses, and AI tools without code. Create an automated data export right away for free! Pick your destination in the widget below and click Proceed.

You’ll be offered to get started with Coupler.io with no credit card required. Then complete 3 simple steps:

Step 1: Collect data from Reddit Ads

Connect your Reddit Ads account by authorizing Coupler.io through OAuth. Select the needed ad accounts and data entity you want to export, for example, Campaign performance (daily). Configure the date range for your report to control how far back the data goes.

Coupler.io lets you add multiple data sources to a single data flow. You can combine campaign performance with ad group details or pull in data from another ad platform like Google Ads or TikTok Ads in the same flow.

Step 2: Organize your Reddit Ads data

When you export Reddit Ads data, it may include columns you don’t need, inconsistent naming, and other things you’d love to avoid in your report. Coupler.io’s data transformation step fixes this before the data reaches your destination.

You can do the following with Reddit Ads data specifically:

Step 3: Load data to your destination and schedule refresh

Follow the in-app instructions to connect your destination, whether that’s Google Sheets, Looker Studio, BigQuery, or any other supported tool. Run the data flow to load the first batch.

Then turn on Automatic data refresh and pick your schedule to export data from Reddit Ads weekly, daily, or even every 15 minutes. Your Reddit Ads analytics dashboard or spreadsheet will update itself without anyone touching a button.

Bonus step: Ask questions about your Reddit Ads data with AI Agent

Once your data flow runs, you can talk with AI Agent about your Reddit Ads performance. AI Agent is a conversational analytics assistant built into Coupler.io. It allows you to ask questions like “Which Reddit Ads campaigns had the highest CTR last month?” or “How does my cost per conversion compare across ad groups this quarter?” and get verified, data-backed answers.

The process works like this:

What data can you export from Reddit Ads?

The Reddit Ads connector supports the following data entities:

Where you can load Reddit Ads data

Coupler.io allows you to automate Reddit Ads export data to over 10 destinations:

Key challenges for Reddit Ads users and how Coupler.io solves them

Pain point 1: Manual CSV exports eat up reporting time 

The Reddit Ads manager lets you download CSV files and schedule email reports, but each export is a static snapshot. If you report weekly across multiple campaigns, that’s hours of downloading, reformatting, and copying data. 

Solution: Coupler.io automates the entire Reddit Ads export data process. Set a refresh schedule (as frequent as every 15 minutes) and your spreadsheet or dashboard updates on its own.

Pain point 2: Campaign data disappears after 6 months 

Reddit stores campaign data in your dashboard for only 6 months. Campaigns, ad groups, and ads untouched for 90 days can be deleted entirely. If you need historical data for year-over-year analysis, you’re out of luck. 

Solution: Coupler.io exports data from Reddit Ads to an external destination you control: BigQuery, Google Sheets, Snowflake, or any other warehouse. Your historical Reddit Ads data stays safe regardless of what Reddit’s dashboard retains.

Pain point 3: No native connection to BI tools 

Reddit Ads has no built-in integration with Looker Studio, Power BI, or Tableau. Getting ad performance data into a dashboard requires manual CSV uploads or custom API work. 

Solution: Coupler.io connects Reddit Ads directly to your preferred BI tool and keeps the data flowing on a schedule.

Pain point 4: Cross-channel reporting requires manual merging 

If you advertise on Reddit alongside Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or LinkedIn Ads, comparing campaign performance across ad platforms means exporting separately from each one and stitching spreadsheets together. 

Solution: Coupler.io pulls data from all your sources into a single destination. Blend Reddit Ads with other platforms in one data flow and report on everything in one place.

Pain point 5: Static reports don’t answer follow-up questions 

A CSV or scheduled email tells you what happened but not why. Digging deeper requires more exports, more filters, more pivoting. 

Solution: Coupler.io AI Agent lets you ask follow-up questions about your Reddit Ads data in plain language and get instant, verified answers.

Visualize Reddit Ads data in dashboard templates

Exporting data from Reddit Ads is only the first step. To act on it, you need a report that updates itself and shows the right metrics at a glance. Coupler.io offers ready-to-use dashboard templates that connect directly to your Reddit Ads account. Pick a template, connect your data, and you have a working dashboard in minutes, no design or configuration from scratch.

Reddit Ads dashboard 

This Reddit Ads dashboard is built for paid social and performance marketers who run campaigns on Reddit. It consolidates spend, reach, engagement, and conversion data into a single view.

Insights the dashboard provides

The dashboard helps you answer the questions that actually drive budget decisions:

Key metrics tracked: amount spent, impressions, clicks, CPM, CTR, CPC, key conversion rate, average daily reach, average daily frequency, conversions, cost per conversion, conversions revenue, and ROAS.

How to use it

The dashboard is available in 2 versions: Coupler.io Dashboard and Looker Studio. Both include the same performance-by-objective and campaign-level breakdowns and equipped with the Reddit Ads connector by Coupler.io. To get started, you only need to connect your Reddit Ads account, and the dashboard populates with your data in minutes. Once the connector is set up, data refreshes automatically on the schedule you choose.

Multi-channel Reddit Ads dashboards

If Reddit is one of several ad platforms you run, single-channel dashboards only show part of the picture. These multi-channel templates pull data from Reddit Ads alongside your other advertising sources into one report, so you can compare spend efficiency, conversion rates, and ROAS across channels without switching between tools.

Other ways to export data from Reddit Ads

Coupler.io handles the automation side, but it’s worth knowing what Reddit offers natively and through its API. This is especially relevant if you need a quick one-time export or have developer resources available.

Manual export from Reddit Ads manager

The built-in CSV export works fine for a one-off analysis or to test a BI tool before committing to automation. Open the dashboard in the Reddit Ads manager and toggle between Campaigns, Ad Groups, or Ads tabs to select the level of detail you need.

A few limitations to keep in mind:

Reddit Ads API

It makes sense to export data from Reddit Ads using the API if you want to build custom integrations and have in-house developers.

The API uses OAuth2 for authentication. You register an application at reddit.com/prefs/apps, obtain a client ID and secret, and exchange authorization codes for access tokens. The reporting endpoint (POST Get a report) generates metrics reports covering ad performance, audience engagement, and conversion events, including custom events tracked by the Reddit Pixel.

API access has historically been oriented toward larger advertisers. Some sources report a $50,000 quarterly spend threshold for direct API access, though Reddit has loosened restrictions with API v3. Rate limits exist but are not publicly documented. The API returns HTTP 429 errors with rate limit headers but no Retry-After value, so you’ll need to implement exponential backoff in your code.

For most marketing teams without dedicated engineering resources, the API adds complexity that a no-code connector already solves. But if you need granular control over attribution windows, custom conversion events, or want to integrate Reddit Ads data into a proprietary data pipeline, the API is the right tool.

Best way to handle Reddit Ads data export

The right export method depends on what you’re trying to do with the data.

Use the manual CSV export when you need a one-time snapshot for a specific meeting or presentation. For example, your CMO asks for last month’s Reddit Ads campaign results by tomorrow morning. Log into the ads manager, set the date range, click Export, and you have a CSV ready to drop into a slide deck. No setup required, no tools to configure. 

The tradeoff: you’ll repeat this process every time someone asks for updated numbers.

Use the Reddit Ads API when you’re building a proprietary data pipeline or need programmatic control over how data is extracted. A typical scenario: your data engineering team maintains a central warehouse that ingests advertising data from 10+ platforms on a custom schedule, applies internal attribution logic, and feeds it into a homegrown BI layer. The API gives you full control over endpoints, query parameters, and data transformations in code. 

The tradeoff: you need developers to build it, maintain it, and handle API changes.

Use Coupler.io when you want to automate your Reddit Ads data analytics and use AI for this. This covers the most common scenarios: 

Setup takes minutes, and the data refreshes on the schedule you pick.
