FAQ

Why do I need to provide my Skool login? Comments live behind Skool's member area. The Actor signs in as you so it can see exactly the posts your own account can see — nothing more.

Are my credentials safe? Email and password are marked as secret fields, so Apify encrypts them and they are never written to the run log or the output.

Does it collect replies? Only if you ask it to. includeReplies is off by default so a run stays focused on top-level comments; switch it on to capture full threads with parent/child relationships.

A post came back empty — what happened? Either the post genuinely has no comments, or your account cannot see it. Posts in private communities you have not joined, deleted posts, and posts moved to a members-only category will all come back empty. The run summary places every post the run reached into one of four counts — fully read, partly read, saved without a completeness check, or unreadable — and those four always add up, so nothing goes missing without being reported.

Can I limit how much it collects? Yes — set maxComments to cap the number of comments per post. Leave it at 0 to collect everything the post makes available.

Why did I get fewer comments than the post's counter shows? On very long threads Skool serves only part of the conversation — the opening of the discussion and the most recent activity. This Actor collects both ends, which is everything reachable, and then tells you the truth about it: the run log reports how many comments the post has versus how many were available, and the run summary records that post as partly read rather than pretending it was complete. Short and medium threads come through in full.

Where do I find the link and contact fields? The default table view is a readable summary. Choose the "all fields" output — or export the dataset without a view — to get the social, email, phone and attachment columns as well.

What if a comment has an image or GIF instead of text? It is still collected. Media-only comments come through with the media listed under attachments.

Which fields are sometimes empty? authorBio, authorLocation and authorMrrTier reflect what each member has chosen to publish on their Skool profile, so they are filled in for some authors and blank for others. The link and contact fields are only filled when that information actually appears in the comment text.
