Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Go to **Skool Community Scraper** in the Apify Store. 3. On the **Input** tab, enter search keywords, or leave the defaults to scrape top-ranked communities across all categories. 4. *(Optional)* Set the **Max communities** field to cap how many communities you want. 5. *(Optional)* Enable or disable **Include owner details** depending on whether you need owner profiles. 6. Click **Start** and wait for the scraper to finish. 7.

Each keyword returns up to 1,000 matching communities. For example: ```` marketing real estate AI automation coaching ``` You can combine multiple keywords in the same run to cover broader topics. #### Scrape top-ranked communities (default) Leave both the search and URL fields empty. The scraper will automatically paginate through all 10 Skool categories (Money, Tech, Health, Sports, Self-improvement, Relationships, Hobbies, Music, Spirituality, and All) and return the top communities in each. #### Scrape specific communities by name or URL Open the **Advanced** section and paste community names or full URLs into the **Specific community URLs or names** field.

Yes. We only extract publicly visible data from Skool community pages. No login is required and no private data is accessed. For more information, see Apify's blog posts on the [legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/) and [ethical scraping](https://blog.apify.com/web-scraping-ethics/). #### Do I need a Skool account to use this scraper? No. Everything is scraped from public Skool pages. You don't need to log in or provide any credentials. #### How many communities are on Skool? As of 2026, Skool hosts 200,000+ communities serving 25M+ members, per Skool's founder. Our deep scan surfaces up to 20,000+ of the most active, publicly discoverable communities. #### How is this different from other Skool scrapers? Most Skool scrapers require you to paste in community URLs you already have. This scraper **discovers communities for you** by scanning all 10 Skool categories and running keyword search expansion. It finds communities ranked up to #57,000+ that are invisible on the discovery page, and extracts 45 data fields per community including full landing page copy. #### Can I schedule recurring scrapes? Yes. Use Apify's built-in scheduler for daily, weekly, or monthly runs. This is great for tracking community growth, pricing changes, and new launches over time. #### Will I get the same communities if I run the scraper twice? Mostly, yes. Skool's discovery rankings are stable day to day, so a "top 100" run today will look about 95% the same tomorrow. The good news: every re-run refreshes the data on those communities (member counts, pricing, owner info, posts), which is great for tracking growth over time. If you want fresh communities each run, add search keywords or scrape a larger pool. #### What if a community is private or deleted? The scraper skips it and continues. You'll never get a broken run or partial data. #### Can I export Skool data using the API? Yes. You can access the scraped data through the Apify API. The API is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that let you manage, schedule, and run Apify actors and programmatically access datasets. For details, see the [Apify API docs](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). #### Does Skool Community Scraper integrate with other services? Yes. You can connect Skool Community Scraper with almost any cloud service or web app. For example, integrate with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive, and more. You can also use webhooks to perform an action whenever an event occurs, for example to get a notification once a run successfully finishes. #### Skool Community Scraper not working? We're always working on improving the performance of this actor. If you have technical feedback or found a bug, create an issue on the actor's **Issues** tab and we'll look into it. *** Built by CrustAPI ⭐ If this scraper saved you time, leave a review.
