⚙️ Input Options

🔗 URL Modes Four ways to scope your extraction

The actor detects what to extract automatically from the URL format:

URL Format	What it does
skool.com/group/classroom	Extract all accessible courses
skool.com/group/classroom/38fd1c1d	Extract one specific course
skool.com/group/classroom/38fd1c1d?md=lessonId	Extract one specific lesson
skool.com/group/postName	Extract one specific post (post data only)

You can mix multiple URLs of different types in a single run.

{
  "communityUrl": [
    "https://www.skool.com/my-community/classroom",
    "https://www.skool.com/my-community/01"
  ]
}

📊 Extraction Limits

lessonsPerCourse (Integer)

• Default: 10
• Maximum number of lessons to extract from each course
• Set to 5 → extracts up to 5 lessons from each course
• Set to 1000 (maximum) to extract all lessons from every course
• Useful for testing before running full extractions on large communities

{
  "communityUrl": ["https://www.skool.com/my-community/classroom"],
  "lessonsPerCourse": 3
}

🔐 Authentication

The actor tries authentication in priority order stopping as soon as one method succeeds:

Priority	Method	When to use
1	Email + Password	Easiest just enter your Skool credentials
2	Browser Cookies	Fallback if login fails, or if you prefer cookie-based auth
3	None	Public communities only

Method 1 Email + Password (recommended)

Set email and password in the actor input. The actor logs into Skool automatically, obtains a fresh session, and proceeds. Your password is stored as a secret and is never logged.

{
  "email": "you@example.com",
  "password": "your-password"
}

If login fails (wrong credentials, account issue), the actor automatically falls back to browser cookies if you also provided them.

Method 2 Browser Cookies (fallback)

If you prefer not to share your password, or if automatic login fails, you can export your browser session cookies and paste them in.

How to get your cookies:

1. Install the Cookie-Editor extension

   • Chrome
   • Firefox

2. Log in to Skool, then navigate to your community

3. Open Cookie-Editor → click Export → copy the JSON

4. Paste into the cookies field in actor input:

{
  "cookies": [
    { "name": "auth_token", "value": "your-token-value", "domain": ".skool.com" }
  ]
}

⚠️ Cookies expire. If extraction fails with 403 errors, export fresh cookies and re-run.

⬇️ Download Options

downloadAttachments (Boolean)

• Default: false
• Downloads images and document files (PDF, Word, Excel, etc.) attached to lesson posts
• Saved to Key-Value Store with keys like image-{id}.png / doc-{id}.pdf
• Each attachment in the dataset gets a kvKey field pointing to its stored file
• ⚠️ Increases run time large communities may have many attachments

downloadResources (Boolean)

• Default: false
• Downloads image and document files from the lesson resources panel
• Web links (YouTube, Chrome extensions, etc.) are automatically skipped only actual files are downloaded
• Each resource gets a kvKey field when downloaded
• ⚠️ Only useful if the community shares PDF guides or image files in lesson resources

downloadVideos (Boolean)

• Default: false
• Downloads Videos Hosted on Skool videos from lessons and posts as MP4 files
• Saved to Key-Value Store with keys like video-lesson-{id}.mp4
• Each video gets downloadUrl and direct_download fields in the output
• ⚠️ Increases run time and memory significantly videos can be several hundred MB each

videoQuality (Select)

• Default: 1080p
• Preferred video resolution when downloading
• Options: 1080p (Best), 720p (Good), 480p (Medium), 270p (Low)
• Automatic fallback: if the selected quality is not available, the scraper picks the next lower quality
• Example: you select 720p but the video only has 1080p and 480p → the scraper downloads 480p
• Only applies when downloadVideos is enabled

💾 Key-Value Store

When download options are enabled, files are saved to the actor's Key-Value Store organized by type:

Key prefix	Contents	Trigger
image-{id}.{ext}	JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG, BMP, TIFF	downloadAttachments or downloadResources
doc-{id}.{ext}	PDF, Word, Excel, CSV, TXT, JSON, XML	downloadAttachments or downloadResources

Each downloaded file is referenced by kvKey on its parent object in the dataset, so you can always trace a file back to its lesson.
