from $2.10 / 1,000 communities

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### What is Skool Community Scraper?

- **Lead generation** — community owners with their Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn and website: coaches and creators who already sell online.

- **Competitor tracking** — schedule it and watch members, price and reviews change.

### ❓ FAQ

#### Is it legal to scrape Skool Discovery?

It reads what skool.com shows any visitor: Discovery results and About pages. Owner names and links are personal data under laws like the GDPR — have a lawful reason to process them.

#### Why at most 1,000 communities per keyword?

That is all Skool Discovery shows for one search. Split a broad niche into several keywords or categories.

#### Does it work for private communities?

Yes — a private community's About page is public, so its row is complete. Its posts and members are not.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

<b>Posts</b> — a community's feed, or search inside it with <i>Keywords</i>. <b>Comments</b> — every comment and reply under posts. <b>Members</b> — people with bio, location and social links. <b>Community details</b> — members, posts, price, owner, rating, plans. <b>Find communities</b> — search Skool Discovery by keyword, category, price and language. <b>Profiles</b> — followers and the communities a person owns.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

<b>Find communities</b>: search terms for Skool Discovery, e.g. <code>marketing</code>, <code>real estate</code>. <b>Posts</b> and <b>Members</b>: search inside the communities above — posts about <code>n8n</code>, members whose profile mentions <code>marketing</code>.

## `communityUrls` (type: `array`):

Community URL or the name from its URL: <code>https://www.skool.com/the-ai-advantage</code> or <code>the-ai-advantage</code>. Public communities show posts and members to anyone; a private one shows only its About page (use <i>Community details</i>).

## `profileUrls` (type: `array`):

Skool user: <code>https://www.skool.com/@zachginn</code> or <code>@zachginn</code>.

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Any skool.com link, routed automatically: community, its About or Members page, a post, a <code>@profile</code>, or a Discovery search like <code>https://www.skool.com/discovery?q=fitness</code>.

## `maxResultsPerInput` (type: `integer`):

Cap for each input, not for the whole run. Find communities returns up to 1,000 per keyword (all Skool Discovery shows).

## `price` (type: `string`):

Find communities: the Discovery price filter.

## `communityType` (type: `string`):

Public communities show posts and members to anyone.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Communities in this language.

## `discoveryCategory` (type: `string`):

Works alone too — leave Keywords empty to list a whole category.

## `discoverySort` (type: `string`):

Skool's own Trending or Top order.

## `minMembers` (type: `integer`):

Skip smaller communities (not billed).

## `includeCommunityDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Open each community's About page: owner with bio and social links, total posts, online members, admins, courses, monthly/annual/one-time prices, plans and benefits, latest reviews. No extra charge.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many rows in the whole run — a hard ceiling on cost.

## `monitoringStoreName` (type: `string`):

Give the run a name (e.g. <code>new-members</code>) and every later run with the same name returns <b>only rows it has not delivered before</b> — new posts, new comments, new members. Schedule it daily; nothing is billed twice. Empty = normal run.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "discover",
  "keywords": [
    "marketing"
  ],
  "maxResultsPerInput": 30,
  "price": "any",

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
