How the OpenClaw Forum Scraper Works

1. Select 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
3. The scraper fetches the corresponding static HTML page from openclawforum.org and extracts structured data
4. Receive clean, typed records with numeric fields parsed from human-readable K/M formats

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 the number of posts you need. Each record includes the title, author, upvotes, comments, community, and category.

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. Run all three at once by setting mode to "all".

How much does the OpenClaw Forum Scraper cost to run?

OpenClaw Forum Scraper uses 256 MB of memory and scrapes static HTML pages, so runs complete in seconds. There is no browser overhead or proxy requirement, keeping per-run costs minimal under standard PPE pricing.

Does the OpenClaw Forum Scraper need proxies?

OpenClaw Forum Scraper works without proxies. It fetches static HTML pages directly from openclawforum.org with built-in retry logic.

Can I scrape all three modes at once?

OpenClaw Forum Scraper supports an "all" mode that runs posts, agents, and communities in sequence during a single run. Each record is labeled with its mode field so you can filter the combined dataset downstream.
