Pantip Scraper – Thailand's Biggest Forum, Threads, Comments & Social Listening

Scrape public content from Pantip (pantip.com) — one of Thailand's biggest and highest-traffic discussion forums: site-wide keyword search for topics, and full topic content with all comments (including nested replies). Runs on public endpoints — no login, no token, no browser (pure HTTP). Bulk-paste keywords, topic IDs or URLs; get structured snake_case output, null for missing values, and an ISO 8601 scraped_at on every row.

Great for: social listening / brand monitoring in the Thai market, consumer voice and competitor share-of-voice, product-launch reactions, and market research.

Notes

• search is a site-wide Pantip keyword search (not in-room filtering), but v1 returns the first page per keyword (~10 most relevant); multi-page search uses Pantip's authenticated API and is scoped to v1.1. Schedule periodic runs and use dateFrom to keep new topics for continuous monitoring.
• Comment pagination in topic mode: Pantip shows 100 comments per page; the Actor auto-paginates up to maxItems. A single hot topic can have thousands of comments — use maxItems to control cost.
• Sticker/image-only comments have content = null; the image URLs are in content_images.
• Times: main post and comments are exact timestamps; search cards are day-level precision (Thai Buddhist-era dates, converted to Gregorian).
• Defaults to Apify datacenter proxy; for local testing set proxyConfiguration.useApifyProxy = false.

FAQ

• Do I need a login or API key? No — only public content is scraped.
• Can it get comments? Yes — topic mode returns the main post and all comments (including nested replies), one row each.
• Can I monitor only certain keywords? Yes — use search mode with keywords, plus dateFrom for the most economical scheduled monitoring.
• Output format? Export via the Apify Dataset as JSON／CSV／Excel／HTML／API.
