Reddit Data Request for Saved Posts
Reddit's GDPR data export sounds promising, but it gives you bare post IDs and permalinks - no titles, no content, no metadata. Here's what you actually get and what to do instead.

ToolsUnder GDPR and similar privacy laws, Reddit lets you request a copy of your data. Many users assume this will give them a full export of their saved posts - titles, content, subreddit names, and all the metadata they need to rebuild their library. It does not.
Reddit's data request returns your saved posts as a list of bare post IDs and permalinks. No titles. No subreddit names. No post content. No scores. No dates. No comments. To actually see what each post is, you would need to visit every permalink individually - a manual process that scales terribly and still hits the 1,000-save limit for API lookups. If you want a usable export of your saves, you need a different approach.
The problem. The fix.
Reddit's data request returns bare post IDs and permalinks - no titles, no content, no metadata.
Readdit Later exports your saves with full metadata: title, URL, subreddit, score, post type, labels, and notes.
You expected a full export but got a list of URLs you have to click through one by one.
Multiple export formats: CSV, JSON, HTML, Notion, Markdown, and more - not just a list of URLs.
Looking up each permalink manually to find titles takes hours for a large save library.
Your complete save history is included, not limited by the 1,000-item API cap.
Deleted posts in the data export lead to dead links with no way to recover the content.
Saved comments are fully included alongside saved posts.
