Skool Community Directory, Pricing & Member Finder

Skool hosts tens of thousands of free and paid communities built around courses, coaching and discussion. This actor reads the public Skool directory and community pages without an account, so you can compare niches, pricing, owners, ratings and visible members in one dataset.

What this actor does

• Three modes: discover browses the directory, getCommunity opens communities you name, getMembers reads public member tabs
• Real directory filters: nine Skool categories, 48 languages, free / paid / free-trial, public / private, keyword search and trending / most-popular order
• Pagination up to 1,000 rows per directory slice, with automatic category partitions that can reach roughly 9,000 communities
• Full community records: member, online, admin and post counts; course and module counts; monthly, annual and one-time prices; owner profile and socials; rating and the latest five reviews; privacy and roster availability
• Public member records: username, name, role, level, points, join and last-active dates, bio, location, timezone, avatar and socials
• Empty fields are omitted from each record instead of being returned as null

Output per community (mode = discover / getCommunity)

• communityId, name, slug, displayName, url
• description, landingPageDescription

  "categorySlug": "tech",
  "priceType": "paid",
  "sortBy": "top-v2",

FAQ

Is this affiliated with Skool? No. This is an independent, third-party actor that reads publicly visible Skool pages and is not operated by or affiliated with Skool.

Do I need a Skool account, cookies or a proxy? No. Every mode runs without a login, cookies or proxy setup.

How many communities can discover return? Skool serves 30 rows per page and caps each filter slice at 1,000 rows (34 pages). To go beyond 1,000, set maxItems above 1,000 and the actor partitions the request by Skool's nine categories, deduplicates the results and can reach roughly 9,000 communities. No actor can enumerate the entire catalogue in a single slice.

Why are category and categorySlug sometimes missing? A global directory search does not label each row with a category. Those fields are filled when you browse a category or when a large request is partitioned by category.

Why does getMembers return only about 30 members? Skool's public member page shows the first 30 rows. Separate admin and online tabs expose their first pages too, so memberScope: "all" merges and deduplicates all three tabs. Raise maxMembersPerCommunity to keep the full union. Full member rosters and member emails are not public.

Why are members missing for some communities? Private communities do not publish a member list. The actor checks each community's privacy setting and skips private ones instead of guessing or bypassing the restriction.

How many reviews are included? Each public community page embeds only its five latest reviews. The actor includes those when includeReviews is enabled; it cannot return the full review history.

Why is a price or owner field missing on some records? Not every community publishes a price, rating, location or social link. Missing values are omitted rather than filled with a placeholder.

What does billingInterval mean? It is month, year or one-time and describes the interval used for the top-level price. monthlyPrice, annualPrice and oneTimePrice show each plan when the community offers several.
