⚙️ 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

🔒 Cookie Security & Encryption

Your cookies are sensitive credentials they grant access to your Skool account. Here's how the Apify platform protects them:

• Encrypted at rest The cookies field is marked as a secret input. When you save your Actor input, cookie values are automatically encrypted using AES-256-GCM, and the encryption key is further protected by a 2048-bit RSA key unique to your account and this Actor.

• Decrypted only inside the Actor The encrypted values are only decrypted within the Actor’s execution environment. No other Actor and no other user can access or decrypt your cookies.

• Never logged or exposed Secret input fields are never written to logs or displayed in the Apify Console UI. If accessed directly from storage, only encrypted ciphertext is visible.

• Isolated per user and Actor Encryption keys are unique to each user–Actor combination, ensuring complete isolation.

In short: once you paste your cookies into the input field, they are encrypted before storage and are only decrypted inside the secure Actor runtime never accessible to anyone else.

🔐 Authentication

Some Skool communities require authentication to access classroom content.

Method	How to use	When to use
Email + Password (recommended)	Enter credentials in input	Easiest and most reliable
Browser Cookies	Export from your browser session	Use if login fails or for advanced cases
None	No authentication	Public communities only

---

🍪 How to export your cookies (optional)

1. Install the Cookie-Editor extension

   • Chrome
   • Firefox

2. Log in to skool.com and open your community

3. Open the extension → click Export

4. Copy the JSON and paste it into the cookies field

⚠️ Security Notice Your cookies provide access to your account. They are treated as sensitive secrets and are never logged, exposed, or shared. For maximum safety, consider using a dedicated account.

⚠️ Session Expiry Cookies expire over time. If extraction fails (e.g., 403 errors), export fresh cookies and re-run the Actor.

⬇️ 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.
