Frill Public Board

Publisher: Nock.

Fetch public Frill idea-board posts over anonymous HTTP. One company slug or public URL in. Structured posts out.

This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or related to Frill. It only reads pages and JSON that a public Frill portal already serves without a login.

What it does

Give the Actor a public company slug (feedback), a public portal URL (https://feedback.frill.co), or a public board URL (https://feedback.frill.co/b/4q0qxv2r/frillco-customer-ideas). It returns a dataset of public posts with an allowlisted set of fields.

No Frill API key. No login. No cookies. No voter identities, author names, emails, or avatars.

Features

• One slug or public Frill URL as input
• Structured posts: title, status, score, commentCount, url, createdAt, boardName, tags
• Public HTTP/JSON only
• Private and login-only portals are skipped
• Pay-per-event: one post event per public post written to the default dataset (prices are set in Apify Console, not in this tree)

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
board	string	yes	—	Company slug, public portal URL, or public board URL
maxPages	integer	no	5	Number of 15-item pages requested per public board

Example:

{"board":"feedback","maxPages":1}

Other accepted board values:

• feedback
• https://feedback.frill.co
• https://feedback.frill.co/b/4q0qxv2r/frillco-customer-ideas

A local example lives at .actor/example_input.json. The Apify CLI apify run path uses storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json.

Output

Each dataset item has only these fields:

Field	Type	Source
title	string or null	public idea title
status	string or null	public status name, when the portal shows it
score	number or null	public vote count, when the portal shows it
commentCount	number or null	public comment count
url	string or null	{origin}/b/{boardId}/{boardSlug}/{ideaSlug}
createdAt	string or null	ISO timestamp when the public list includes it
boardName	string or null	public board name
tags	string[]	public topic names only, when present

tags is often []. Public list JSON frequently omits topic names.

What is collected

• Public idea title, status, score, comment count, URL, created time, board name, topic names

What is not collected

• Author names, author IDs, emails, pictures, avatars
• Voters, voter identities
• Idea descriptions and comment bodies
• Private or login-only portals (settings.isPrivate or HTTP 401/403)
• Private, archived, deleted, or unapproved ideas

How to run on Apify

1. Open the Actor on Apify Store or in Apify Console.
2. Set input to a public slug such as feedback, or another public slug/URL.
3. Run. Results land in the default dataset.

How to run locally

Requires Node.js 18+. From this directory, install the listed package.json dependencies, then run scrape.js with a board slug such as feedback and optional --max-pages 1.

You can also pass a public portal URL or a public board URL. The CLI path prints JSON to stdout and writes the default local dataset under storage/datasets/default.

If the Apify CLI is present, apify run uses storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json.

Public HTTP endpoints

Anonymous GET and POST with JSON. No cookies and no API key. Discovered from live public portals, then confirmed over HTTP.

• Company: POST {origin}/graphql query company(domain:)
• Public ideas: POST {origin}/graphql query boardIdeas (GetBoardIdeas) with 15-item pages and an after cursor
• HTML fallback: GET {origin}/ and GET {origin}/b/{boardId}/{boardSlug} (__NEXT_DATA__) when GraphQL is not publicly reachable
• Official https://api.frill.co/v1/ideas is not used. That route requires an API key.

Missing hosts return a company-not-found error or HTTP 404. Login-gated or private portals (settings.isPrivate) are skipped.

Pricing (pay-per-event)

The Actor is pay-per-event. Event prices live in Apify Console, not in this tree:

• apify-actor-start: synthetic platform event charged automatically when a run starts. Do not charge this event from code.
• post: one event per public post written to the default dataset via Actor.pushData with event name post.

This repository does not include a price list.

Limits

• Public HTTP/JSON only. No browser automation, no captcha solving, no login.
• Public boards only. Private or login-gated portals are skipped.
• Pagination is pages of 15 ideas over GraphQL. Large boards need a higher maxPages.
• When only public HTML is available, the first SSR page is returned.

FAQ

Is this an official Frill tool? No. Nock publishes this Actor independently. It is not affiliated with Frill.

Do I need a Frill API key? No. The Actor only calls public HTTP endpoints.

Will I get voter or author data? No. Those fields are stripped. Output is an allowlist.
