VOZ Scraper – Vietnam's Biggest Tech & Lifestyle Forum (No API, No Login)

Scrape VOZ (voz.vn): the latest threads of each board, and the main post plus all replies of any thread. Public HTML only, no browser, output as structured data (JSON/CSV/Excel).

Output Fields

Board Thread Listing (ListingRow, content is null)

Field	Type	Description
post_id	string	Thread ID
site	string	Always voz
board	string | null	Board ID (the forumId used in the query)
is_hidden	boolean	Whether this row is hidden. Always false on VOZ today; kept so the schema is identical to hardwarezone-scraper
title	string | null	Title
author	string | null	Thread starter
reply_count	number | null	Reply count (the raw page shows abbreviations like "3K" - converted to an integer)
view_count	number | null	View count (same handling for "300K" / "4M")
created_at	string | null	Post time (ISO 8601, with a +0700 offset)
last_reply_at	string | null	Last reply time (ISO 8601, with a +0700 offset)
post_url	string | null	Thread link
content	string | null	Content (null in listing mode)
source_mode	string	Mode used
source_query	string	Query (board ID)
scraped_at	string	Scrape time (ISO 8601)

Main post (ThreadRow, same fields plus content)

Field	Type	Description
content	string | null	Full main post text (HTML stripped, quoted text removed, whitespace collapsed)

A main post's board is always null (thread mode has no board ID input); reply_count / view_count / last_reply_at are always null (those only exist on board listing pages).

Reply (ReplyRow, full thread mode only)

Field	Type	Description
reply_id	string	Reply ID (the post element ID; falls back to {threadId}-{floor} when missing)
post_id	string	Parent thread ID
site	string	Always voz
floor	number | null	Floor number (#, 1-based, continuous across pages)
is_hidden	boolean	Hidden post (always false on VOZ today). A true row is only a placeholder and is never billed
author	string | null	Author
content	string | null	Reply text (HTML stripped, quoted text removed)
created_at	string | null	Reply time (ISO 8601, with a +0700 offset)
scraped_at	string	Scrape time (ISO 8601)

Field names are identical to hardwarezone-scraper (Singapore), lihkg-scraper (Hong Kong) and ptt-scraper (Taiwan), so you can merge forum data across countries into one table.

Notes

• Public content only; no account or token needed.
• Not for AI model training. VOZ declares ai-train=no in its robots.txt; data from this actor is for research, brand monitoring and lawful market analysis only.
• The actor only touches paths allowed by robots.txt (board listings and thread pages). It does not use /search/, /whats-new/, member profiles or attachments, and stays at or below 60 requests per minute.
• There is no site-wide search: keywords only filters titles inside the boards you specify.
• Quoted text ("X đã nói: ... Nhấp để mở rộng...") is removed from content by default so replies do not repeat other people's posts; set keepQuotes: true to keep it.
• reply_count / view_count appear as abbreviations ("3K" / "4M") on the raw page and are converted to integers.
• Timestamps are ISO 8601 with a +0700 offset (Vietnam time), as served by the site.
• Stops automatically after 5 consecutive pages with no new data; with dateFrom it stops as soon as a whole page of non-sticky threads is older than the cut-off.
• VOZ sits behind Cloudflare. Datacenter proxy works today; if a Cloudflare challenge appears later, switch the proxy to RESIDENTIAL with country VN.

FAQ

Q: Do I need to log in?

A: No. The actor only reads public thread lists and posts and uses nothing that requires an account.

Q: Can I scrape several boards at once?

A: Yes. Add several IDs to forumIds or paste one per line into bulkInput.

Q: How do I find a board or thread ID?

A: It is in the URL: voz.vn/f/chuyen-tro-linh-tinhtm.17/ means board ID 17; voz.vn/t/...bo-bim-sua.1089186/ means thread ID 1089186. You can also paste the whole URL into threadUrls.

Q: Can I search the whole forum by keyword?

A: No. VOZ's search pages are disallowed in robots.txt, so the actor does not use them. keywords only filters titles inside the chosen boards. For keyword monitoring, schedule a daily run with dateFrom: "1d" on the relevant boards.

Q: Will a long thread cost a lot?

A: It can. Thread mode fetches everything by default and bills every reply as a review-item event ($0.003). Popular threads can have thousands of replies, so set maxReplies (for example 100) to cap the cost; the main post is billed separately as one product-detail. maxItems limits the number of threads, not replies.

Q: Why is board null in thread mode?

A: A thread page does not contain the board ID and the input only has a thread ID, so the actor returns null instead of guessing.

Q: What if I get blocked?

A: The log will show Rate limited on or [incomplete-data]. Try fewer items, or switch the proxy to RESIDENTIAL with country VN.
