Skool Community Scraper

Scrape Skool.com communities without logging in — pricing, member counts, courses, join questions, and the owner as an enriched lead (bio + website + Instagram/Twitter/LinkedIn/YouTube). Look communities up by URL or search the whole Skool Discovery directory by keyword to build a niche lead list. MCP-ready for AI agents.

What this does and does not return. Skool shows a community's full member roster only to logged-in members of that community, so no public, no-login tool can export every member. This Actor returns everything Skool exposes publicly: the community's profile, its real-time member/admin/online counts, pricing, and the community owner as a contactable lead. If you need the full per-member roster, that requires a Skool session cookie and is out of scope here.

One row per community. Discovery rows also carry discoveryQuery and discoveryRank.

When to use it

• Lead generation — build a list of Skool community owners in a niche, with their social links, to pitch services or partnerships.
• Competitor & market research — compare pricing, size, post volume, and course depth across communities in your category.
• Niche sizing — sweep a keyword across Skool's directory to gauge how crowded a topic is and who the big players are.
• AI agents (MCP) — a single URL or keyword in, structured JSON out.

Do not use this to export a community's individual member list — that is login-gated by Skool and not available to any cookieless tool.

Two modes (auto-detected)

1. Look up communities by URL or slug

Set Community URLs or slugs to any mix of full links or bare slugs:

{ "communityUrls": ["new-society", "https://www.skool.com/makerschool"] }

Returns the full public profile of each community plus its owner. This path is pure HTTP and very fast.

2. Discover communities by keyword

Set Discovery search keywords to search Skool's public Discovery directory:

{ "searchQueries": ["ai automation", "real estate"], "maxItems": 100 }

Each keyword is paginated (30 communities per page) and every result is enriched with its full profile + owner. Skool's Discovery page is protected by a bot challenge, so this mode drives a real browser internally — slightly slower than the lookup mode, but fully automated.

You can combine both in one run.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
communityUrls	string[]	["new-society"]	Skool URLs or slugs to look up directly.
searchQueries	string[]	–	Keywords to search Skool Discovery.
enrichDetails	boolean	true	Enrich each Discovery result with full details + owner. Off = lean directory cards (faster).
maxItems	integer	100	Hard cap on total communities (cost control).
maxPagesPerQuery	integer	34	Max Discovery pages per keyword (30 each).
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy (datacenter, US)	Proxy. Datacenter is sufficient.

At least one of communityUrls or searchQueries is required; an empty run exits gracefully with a clear message.

Legal & responsible use

This Actor collects only data that Skool.com publishes publicly without authentication (community profiles and owner public profiles). It does not log in, bypass authentication, or access private member rosters.

Do not use owner contact data for unsolicited bulk messaging where prohibited. No affiliation with or endorsement by Skool.com.

FAQ

Can it export all members of a group? No. Skool gates the full member roster behind login/membership. This Actor returns public counts and the owner, not every member.

Do I need a Skool account or cookie? No. It is fully cookieless.

Why does discovery take longer than lookup? Skool's Discovery directory is behind a bot challenge that requires a real browser to clear; direct URL lookups use the plain HTTP API and are near‑instant.

A community returned no price. Free communities (and annual‑only plans) legitimately have no monthly price; the field is omitted in that case.
