Skool.com Scraper — Communities, Members, Pricing & Owner Leads (No API, No Login)

Scrape public communities from Skool.com, the fast-growing platform where course creators and coaches run paid membership groups. Turn the Skool discovery feed into a clean, structured dataset — community name, member count, monthly price, category, description, logo, cover image and discovery rank — pulled straight from Skool's own public discovery data. Fast, no browser overhead, no API key, no login.

🏆 Why this Skool scraper?

18 fields per community · thousands of communities per run · reads Skool's public discovery feed directly · filter by category or keyword · deduped by stable community id · export to JSON / CSV / Excel. It is two tools in one: a market-research dataset for niche sizing and pricing analysis, and a lead engine — every row is a paid-community owner, so one run becomes a targeted outreach list of course creators and community founders. The unofficial Skool API alternative.

✨ What this Actor does / Key features

• 🏘️ Full discovery feed — scrape every public Skool community, or narrow to a single category or keyword.
• 👥 Member counts — exact memberCount for each community, so you can size a niche or rank communities by traction.
• 💵 Pricing intelligence — monthly price, priceCurrency, priceInterval and an isFree flag for free vs. paid groups.
• 🏷️ Category & rank — the community category plus its rank in the discovery feed, ideal for competitive positioning.
• 🔎 Two ways to filter — pass a friendly category (Tech, Money, Health…) and/or a query keyword, or paste filtered discovery URLs copied straight from the site.
• 🧾 Rich profile data — name, slug, url, description, brand color, imageUrl (logo) and coverImageUrl for every group.
• 🕒 Timestamps — createdAt, updatedAt and scrapedAt so you can track growth and freshness over time.
• ⚡ Direct HTTP extraction — reads Skool's public discovery data; no login, no token, no API key, no GraphQL secret.
• 🛡️ Proxy support — Apify Proxy integration; residential proxy is the default for the highest success rate.
• 📤 Clean structured output — one row per community, exportable to JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or via the Apify API.

🚀 Quick start (3 steps)

1. Configure — to scrape the whole discovery feed just set maxResults and run. To narrow it, add a category and/or query, or paste discovery URLs into searchUrls.
2. Run — click Start. The Actor paginates the discovery feed (and every matching category) and streams communities into your dataset.
3. Get your data — open the Output / Dataset tab and export to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pull it live via the Apify API.

📥 Input

Everything is optional — leave the input empty to scrape the main discovery feed. Provide a category, query or searchUrls to focus the run.

Example — scrape the whole discovery feed

{
  "maxResults": 200
}

Example — biggest paid communities in a niche (category + keyword)

{
  "category": "Money",
  "query": "trading",
  "maxResults": 500
}

Example — filtered discovery URLs copied from the site (lead list)

{
  "searchUrls": [
    "https://www.skool.com/discovery",
    "https://www.skool.com/discovery?c=b1dae7402dda47a0b7aa51334474a158&q=ai"
  ],
  "maxResults": 1000,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

Field	Type	Description
searchUrls	array	Skool discovery / category URLs copied straight from the site. Filters in the URL (c category, q query, price, sortBy) are respected. Leave empty for the main feed.
category	string	Friendly category name — Tech, Money, Health, Hobbies, Music, Spirituality, Sports, Self-improvement, Relationships — or a raw Skool category id.
query	string	Keyword to search the discovery feed (e.g. ai, trading, fitness, ecom). Combine with category to narrow further.
maxResults	integer	Global cap across all tasks. 0 = no limit. Default 200.
useProxy	boolean	Route requests through Apify Proxy. Residential recommended and default.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy settings. Residential gives the highest success rate against Skool.
maxConcurrency	integer	How many discovery URLs / filters to process in parallel (1–10).

Finding a discovery URL: open skool.com/discovery, apply a category and/or search filter on the site, and copy the resulting URL from your browser's address bar into searchUrls. The Actor respects the filters encoded in the URL.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to scrape Skool.com? The Actor only collects publicly available community discovery data. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with Skool's terms and applicable laws such as GDPR.

Does Skool have a public API? Skool does not offer an open public data API for communities, so this Actor reads the site's own public discovery data instead — giving you structured community data without any API key.

Do I need a Skool account, login or API key? No. There is no Skool account, login, token or API key required — only an Apify account. The Actor reads Skool's public discovery feed.

How do I filter by category or keyword? Use the category and query inputs, or apply filters on the Skool discovery page and paste the resulting URL into searchUrls. Both approaches work and can be combined.

Is the price the monthly price? Yes. price is the recurring amount in the community's currency, with priceInterval (usually month) and an isFree flag. Free communities return price: null and isFree: true.

How much data can I get? Set maxResults as high as you like (or 0 for no cap). The Actor paginates the discovery feed and every matching category until it runs out of results — thousands of communities per run.

Is this a Skool API alternative? Yes. Skool has no open public communities API, so this Actor works as an unofficial Skool API alternative — it reads the public discovery data and returns structured rows you can pull on a schedule.

Can I scrape Skool without an API or login? Yes. No Skool account, login or API key is needed — only an Apify account. The Actor pulls publicly available community data over direct HTTP.

How do I export Skool community data to CSV or JSON? Run the Actor, then open the Output / Dataset tab and download as CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML — or pull it via the Apify API. Every community comes back as one clean row for your spreadsheet, CRM or BI tool.

How do I find the biggest paid communities in a niche? Set the category (for example Money or Tech) and optionally a query keyword, then run — each community row shows its memberCount, monthly price and discovery rank for niche sizing.

How do I build a lead list of Skool community owners? Every row in the discovery feed is a paid-community owner. Run a category or keyword search and export the results to get a targeted list of course creators and founders to reach out to.
