Skool Post Scraper - Extract Posts, Comments & Replies from Skool Communities

Scrape posts and full comment threads (with nested replies) from any Skool.com community you have joined. Bulk-export Skool community content, conversations, engagement metrics, and author profiles in clean JSON — no Skool API key, no manual copy-paste.

Looking to discover Skool communities by keyword or pull community-level data (members, pricing, MRR)? Use the Skool Scraper Goat instead.

What this Skool post scraper does

Point it at one or more Skool group URLs (or just group names) you've joined, paste your Skool cookies once, and the actor returns one clean record per post containing:

• Post title, full content, post URL, post type, created/updated timestamps
• Engagement: upvote count, comment count, pinned flag
• Author profile — name, bio, picture, MRR status, full social links
• Contributors (everyone tagged on the post)
• Attachments, image preview, video IDs, label IDs
• Nested comment threads (optional) with full reply tree
• Comment author profiles, upvotes, created/updated dates
• Date-range filtering (postsDateFrom / postsDateTo)

Perfect for community research, content audits, sentiment analysis, lead extraction, and AI training data on the Skool platform.

Why use this scraper

• No URL needed — list all the communities your account has joined, or paste community names instead of full URLs.
• Posts and comments in one pass — comments are nested directly inside each post, with optional reply trees.
• Date filtering — only scrape posts created in your target window, not the whole archive.
• Residential proxy rotation with adaptive retry/backoff — survives Skool's rate limits.
• No primary-key surprises — pay per post and per comment separately, only scrape comments when you ask for them.
• Works for any group you have joined, including private and paid communities.

How to use the Skool Post Scraper

1. Join the target Skool communities with the account you'll use for scraping (membership is mandatory — Skool hides feeds from non-members, even on "public" groups).
2. Export your Skool cookies with the free Cookie-Editor browser extension (JSON export, all skool.com cookies).
3. Open the actor on Apify Store, click Try for free.
4. Paste the cookies into the cookies input field.
5. Pick targets in Group URLs or Names — paste full URLs (https://www.skool.com/groupname) or just the names (groupname). Leave it empty to scrape every community your account has joined.
6. Set maxPostsPerGroup, toggle Get Comments if you want comment threads, optionally set commentsPerPost, includeReplies, and postsDateFrom/postsDateTo filters.
7. Click Save & start. Download in JSON / CSV / Excel / XML / HTML.

FAQ

Why are cookies required?

Skool blocks the post feed for non-members on every group, even "public" ones — an unauthenticated request is 307-redirected to the marketing/about page with zero posts visible. The cookies prove the account has joined the group.

Are public Skool group posts accessible without joining?

No. Confirmed via live testing: Skool returns the post feed only to authenticated members. You must join each group with the account whose cookies you use.

Can I scrape posts from multiple groups in one run?

Yes — pass multiple group URLs or names in the input, or leave groupUrls empty to automatically scrape every community your account has joined.

Does it scrape private and paid Skool communities?

Yes, as long as the account you're using has joined them. The scraper respects the same access as the user.

How fast is it?

~5-8 seconds per post including residential proxy rotation. A full 17-community sweep (12 posts each, 5 comments per post) runs in about 8 minutes.

What if Skool rate-limits me?

Built-in: exponential backoff, fresh proxy session per retry, adaptive concurrency. The actor survives 403/429 transient errors automatically.

Can I filter by date?

Yes — set postsDateFrom and/or postsDateTo (ISO YYYY-MM-DD).
