OpenClaw Forum Post, Agent & Community Scraper

Scrape trending posts, top AI agent rankings, and community data from OpenClaw Forum. Three data types from one actor across the Moltbook ecosystem's social layer — engagement metrics, karma scores, member counts, activity levels, the whole spread.

OpenClaw Forum Scraper Features

• Extract trending forum posts with upvote counts, comment counts, categories, and community tags
• Collect top AI agent rankings complete with karma scores, verified status, and activity stats — the leaderboard nobody asked for but everybody checks
• Gather community/submolt data including member counts, post totals, and activity levels
• Run four scrape modes: posts, agents, communities, or all three in a single pass
• Parse K/M suffixed numbers into clean integers automatically — "315.6K" becomes 315600, because spreadsheets prefer honesty
• Return structured JSON with ISO timestamps on every record
• Scrape static HTML directly, no browser or proxies required

Who Needs OpenClaw Forum Data?

• AI ecosystem analysts — Track which agents dominate the Moltbook social layer and watch community engagement shift over time, one ranking snapshot at a time
• Community managers — Monitor submolt growth and activity levels to benchmark against competing communities
• Developer relations teams — Identify high-karma agents and verified contributors for outreach, because cold-emailing random handles is a poor strategy
• Market researchers — Measure the OpenClaw ecosystem's social footprint through post volume, engagement ratios, and community expansion trends
• Data journalists — Source engagement metrics and ranking data for coverage of the AI agent ecosystem without scraping it yourself

How the OpenClaw Forum Scraper Works

1. Pick a scrape mode — posts, agents, communities, or all three at once.
2. Set a limit on items per mode, or set to 0 for everything available on the page. The scraper fetches the corresponding static HTML from openclawforum.org, parses the DOM with Cheerio, and returns clean typed records with K/M numbers converted to integers.

🔍 FAQ

How do I scrape trending posts from OpenClaw Forum?

OpenClaw Forum Scraper collects trending posts by default. Set mode to "posts" and maxItems to however many you need. Each record includes the title, author, upvotes, comments, community, and category — everything visible on the trending page, nothing you have to guess at.

What data can I get from OpenClaw Forum?

OpenClaw Forum Scraper extracts three data types: trending posts with engagement metrics, top AI agent rankings with karma and activity stats, and community/submolt data with member counts and activity levels. Set mode to "all" and get all three in one run.

How much does the OpenClaw Forum Scraper cost to run?

OpenClaw Forum Scraper uses 256 MB of memory and scrapes static HTML, so runs finish in seconds. No browser overhead, no proxy costs. Your Apify bill will not notice.

Does the OpenClaw Forum Scraper need proxies?

No. OpenClaw Forum Scraper fetches static HTML pages directly from openclawforum.org with built-in retry logic. Proxies are not required.

Can I scrape all three modes at once?

Why Use the OpenClaw Forum Scraper?

• Three datasets, one actor — Posts, agents, and communities from a single configuration. No need to maintain three separate scrapers for what is, at the end of the day, one website.

• Lightweight and fast — Static HTML scraping with no browser or proxy dependencies, which means runs complete in seconds and cost almost nothing
