🔍 What does Pikabu Scraper do?

Pikabu Scraper extracts structured post data from Пикабу (pikabu.ru), the Russian Reddit-like content and community platform. Search a keyword, browse a tag or community, read one user's posts, walk the hot, fresh or best feed, or paste any Pikabu link. Every row carries the title, author, rating, plus and minus votes, comment count, community, tags, publish date, body text, images and video link, ready for CSV, Excel or JSON. It keeps turning pages until your post limit is reached, so one run can return hundreds of posts. Run it on demand, on a schedule, or through the Apify API.

✨ Tips

• Use the filters to pay only for what you need. Minimum rating, comments and date remove posts before they are saved or charged.
• Pick newest first for monitoring. In search mode with the default order, a date filter stops paging as soon as results get older than your window.
• Schedule a monitor. Give the run a monitor name and schedule it hourly or daily; each run returns only posts it has not returned before.
• Leave Open each post page off unless you need the visible comment, because it adds one page per post and makes runs slower.
• Start small. Test with 10 to 25 posts before scaling up.
• Default proxies are fine. Pikabu sometimes shows a browser check to a connection. The run simply retries from another address, so a few retries in the log are normal.

❓ FAQ, disclaimers, and support

How many posts can I get in one run?

Each page holds about 10 posts and the Actor keeps turning pages until your post limit is reached. Keyword search lists around 120 pages for a broad query, and tags, communities and users have as many pages as they have posts.

Как спарсить посты с Пикабу по тегу?

Set the source to Tag and enter the tag, for example котики, or paste the tag page link into Pikabu links. Add a minimum rating or a date window to keep only the posts you care about.

Does this Actor scrape full comment threads?

No. You get the comment count on every post, and with Open each post page on you also get the most visible comment of that post. Full comment threads load separately on Pikabu and are not collected.

Is scraping pikabu.ru legal?

This Actor reads publicly accessible post data with no login required. You are responsible for ensuring your use of the data complies with applicable laws and Pikabu's own Terms of Service.
