Pikabu Scraper

🔎 Find public Pikabu posts and comments

Researchers, content teams, and developers can collect public Pikabu posts or comments as structured data. Search posts with one keyword or one tag or category feed URL, or collect comments from one public post URL. Use the rows to review source links, authors, ratings, tags, media, and comment context in one dataset.

• Use Pikabu feed scraper to collect posts from a public tag or category feed.
• Use Pikabu keyword scraper to find public posts for one search word or phrase.
• Use Pikabu comments scraper to collect comments from one public post.
• Use Pikabu posts scraper to save post titles, links, authors, and engagement data.
• Use Pikabu scraper to export public Pikabu posts or comments for research.

📦 See each Pikabu post or comment in one row

Each saved row is one public post or comment. Post rows include the source ID, title, canonical link, publication time, author, rating, comment count, category, tags, and optional body, media, community, or view data. Comment rows include the source ID, direct link, readable and formatted text, author, ratings, vote counts, creation time, parent post, and optional media, parent comment, reactions, or post-author-like status.

The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence of a source post or comment as soon as it is found. If the same source item appears again while the run is finding it, the later match is ignored. The saved row keeps the first match only. Optional fields appear when Pikabu provides them.

▶️ Collect public Pikabu data in one run

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Choose Posts or Comments.
3. For Posts, choose Keyword search or Tag or category feed, then enter one search word, phrase, or public feed URL. For Comments, enter one public Pikabu post URL.
4. Set Maximum records, or leave it blank to collect all available records until the public source is exhausted.
5. Start the Actor and open the dataset from the Output tab.

The Actor reads public Pikabu data and does not need buyer authentication. Fields for the other choice stay visible, but they do not affect the selected run.

❓ FAQ

Can I collect posts and comments in the same run?

No. Choose Posts or Comments in resultType. Post fields are ignored for a Comments run, and the comment URL is ignored for a Posts run.

What can I use to find posts?

Use one keyword or phrase with Keyword search, or one public tag or category feed URL with Tag or category feed.

What happens when I leave Maximum records empty?

The Actor collects all available matching records until the public source is exhausted, subject to the source returning more records.

Are duplicate posts or comments saved twice?

No. The first eligible occurrence is saved, and a later occurrence of the same source item is ignored. The row keeps the first match only.

Are body text, media, community, and view fields always present?

No. These fields appear when Pikabu provides them. The core post fields remain in the post shape even when optional enrichment is missing.

Can I collect every nested reply comment?

The Actor collects comments available on the selected public post. A separate client-side load for nested or reply comments is outside this Actor's scope.

Do I need a Pikabu login or API key?

No buyer authentication is needed for the public Pikabu data covered by this Actor.

How does pricing work when a run finds no records?

The current pricing contract lists charges for saved post and comment events. It does not list a separate run-start charge.
