Bitcointalk Scraper — posts, threads, boards & user profiles

The only working Bitcointalk monitor on the store. Bitcointalk is the oldest and largest crypto forum — where token announcements (ANN threads), bounties, scams and market sentiment surface first. No login, no API key, no cookies needed — every row comes from public forum pages.

Modes

topic	Topic ID or URL	Every post in a thread (~20/page)
user	User IDs, usernames or profile URLs	Profile rows — activity, trust, signature

FAQ

Does it need a login? No — all modes use public forum pages. Note: Bitcointalk's own forum search is login-walled, so watch scans the sitewide recent-posts firehose and filters by your keywords instead.

How do I get only new posts? Post message IDs (msgId) are sequential — store the highest msgId from your last run and pass it as sinceMsgId.

What about old dates? Forum pages show relative dates like "Today/Yesterday" — msgId is the reliable cursor for ordering.

Limitations

• Forum search is not offered (it's login-walled server-side) — use watch for keyword coverage
• Relative timestamps on fresh posts; msgId is the stable ordering field
• Anonymous rate limits apply to heavy multi-page pulls — enable a proxy if needed

Is it legal to scrape this data? The actor only accesses publicly available data — the same pages/APIs a browser sees. Scraping public data for research, monitoring, and analysis is common practice, but platform Terms of Service and the rules in your jurisdiction still apply to how you use it. Consult legal counsel for your specific case.
