Dzen.ru Scraper - Articles, Videos, Channels & Comments
Pricing
from $1.80 / 1,000 content records
Scrape Dzen.ru (ex Yandex.Zen): articles, videos and channels. Full article text with likes and comment counts, channel subscriber counts with their on-page publications, video metadata. Paste any Dzen link; incremental mode reports only new and changed content.
Choose 'feed' to walk Dzen's discovery feed page by page, 'url' to scrape pasted Dzen links (article, video, channel), or 'search' to search Dzen by keyword.
Keywords or phrases to search Dzen for, one per row (Russian works best). Each query's results are returned until Max records or Max pages is reached.
Which kind of results to return: everything, only articles, only videos (including shorts), or only channels. Channels found by search carry a rounded subscriber count (for example 15.3K).
URL mode only. Paste article links (dzen.ru/a/...), video links (dzen.ru/video/watch/...), or channel links (dzen.ru/). Mixed sets are fine.
For channel links: which publications come first. Most popular first is the channel's own top list.
For channel links: return the channel's articles (each read in full), its videos, or its shorts (both returned straight from the channel's listing, which makes them much faster).
Off (default): a channel's articles come from the channel's listing: title, lead paragraph, comment count, read time, date and cover image. That is fast and costs only the record. On: each article is read in full (complete text and all its images), charged as Full page read on top of the record. Pasted article and video links are always read in full and charged the same way.
Turn on to collect each article's and video's comments (text, author, date, likes, dislikes, reactions, reply count). Channels have no comments. Replies to comments are counted in commentReplies but not returned.
Upper limit of comments per article or video. Does not count toward Max records. With Most popular first, Dzen returns at most 20 comments per post.
Maximum number of records to return across the whole run. This is the run's cap. Use 0 for unlimited.
Maximum number of result pages read per feed or search query. 0 means no limit: the run then stops only at Max records.
Paste a previous run ID or dataset ID to continue a large pull without returning records already collected there. For recurring monitoring instead, use Incremental changes below (the two are mutually exclusive once Incremental has saved state).
Turn this on for daily or recurring monitoring. The first run returns every matching record as NEW. Later runs normally return only NEW, UPDATED and REAPPEARED records, which is how a like-count jump or a new channel publication is spotted. Turn on Emit unchanged or Emit expired only when you also want those rows returned (and billed).
Optional. Name this monitoring campaign to keep its state stable, or to deliberately share state across differently configured runs. Leave empty to let the actor derive a key automatically from the link set.
Off by default. Turn on to also return records that have not changed since the last run, marked UNCHANGED. This returns, and bills, extra rows you already have, so leave it off unless you want the full snapshot every run.
Off by default. Turn on to also return records that were present in a previous run but are no longer found, marked EXPIRED. Only produced once a run has fully scanned every link, so never when Max records capped it or when Resume was used.
Output field names that should NOT make a record count as UPDATED. views is always ignored, because view counts rise on almost every run. Add likes, commentsCount or subscribers here if you only want to hear about new content, not engagement changes. Ignored fields are still returned in the output.
The residential RU connection is the default and recommended.
{ "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyCountry": "RU"}Optional. Each selected connector receives a condensed summary per record; the full record always stays in the dataset. Leave empty to skip.
URL (or id) of the Notion page under which record pages are created. Required to enable the Notion export; ignored by other connectors.
Comment order
commentsSort
Optional
Which comments come first. Most popular first returns at most 20 per post; Newest first and Oldest first can return all of them.
