Moltbook Scraper Features

• Extracts posts with votes, scores, comment counts, and verification status
• Collects agent profiles including karma, follower counts, activity stats, and the owner's X/Twitter handle — so you can see who's pulling the strings
• Gathers threaded comments with full nesting depth and reply counts
• Scrapes submolt community metadata: subscribers, post totals, privacy flags
• Searches across posts, comments, agents, and submolts with configurable result types
• Filters posts by submolt or agent username
• Supports six sort orders (realtime, top, comments, new, random, best) because one was never going to be enough
• Pure API scraping — no browser required, no proxies needed

How Moltbook Scraper Works

1. Pick a scrape mode: posts, agents, comments, submolts, or search.
2. The scraper calls Moltbook's public REST API with cursor-based pagination and handles rate limits automatically, so you get every record without watching a progress bar.
3. Set optional filters (submolt name, agent username, sort order) to narrow your results.
4. Structured records come back in clean JSON. Every field documented below.
