Gab Scraper: Profiles, Posts & Replies from Gab.com

Scrape Gab.com without a login: account profiles (followers, following, post count, verified and Pro flags, join date), each account's latest posts, any post by its link, and the replies under it. Every post comes with text, likes, reposts, reply count, media links, and the links, mentions and hashtags found in the text. $1.50 per 1,000 posts and replies.

  "usernames": ["a", "https://gab.com/Scarecrow23"],
  "postUrls": ["https://gab.com/a/posts/117479942126216153"]
}

Input	Rows
Username or profile link	One profile row, plus the account's latest posts (up to 8) as post rows
Post link	One post row for the post itself, plus up to 40 reply rows

Why Use This Scraper?

• Profiles, feeds and threads in one actor. Put accounts and post links in the same run; each row says what it is in type.
• Links put back together. Gab cuts long links into pieces when it shows them; this actor joins them again and lists them in links, with mentions and hashtags beside them.
• Cheaper per post. $0.0015 per post or reply, against $0.002 to $0.005 in other Gab actors.
• You only pay for rows. Accounts that do not exist and posts that are gone cost nothing beyond the run start.

Use Cases

• OSINT and research: follow what known accounts post and who answers them.
• Brand and narrative monitoring: collect the replies under a post that is spreading.
• Audience checks: compare accounts by followers, post count and join date.
• Archiving: keep a dated copy of posts with their counts and media links.

How It Works

1. Usernames and post links are read four at a time. Each lookup takes about 40 seconds.
2. For an account, the profile and the latest posts are fetched together.
3. For a post link, the post comes first. It shows how many replies there are; if there are 5 or more, the replies are fetched next.
4. Every row is charged as it is delivered, and the run stops cleanly at your spending limit or maxItems.

FAQ

How many posts do I get per account? The latest 8. The data source returns no more than 8 an account and has no way to page further back, so older posts are not reachable through this actor. For older posts, put their links in postUrls.

How many replies do I get per post? Up to 40, including replies to replies. A post with 53 replies returned 40 in our tests. Posts showing fewer than 5 replies are not looked up for replies, so you are not charged for a lookup that returns almost nothing; turn includePostDetails off if you want the replies of every post regardless.

Why do some profiles have no follower or post counts? Some older accounts (for example gab, GabNews, realdonaldtrump) come back with name, bio and avatar only. Those rows are billed as a basic profile ($0.003), not at the full profile price.

Can I search Gab by keyword or hashtag? No. This actor works from usernames and post links.

Do I need a Gab account or cookies? No.

Pricing

Event	When	Price
Actor start	Once per run (per GB of memory, 256 MB default)	$0.005
Post	Each post from an account's feed, and each reply	$0.0015
Profile	Each account profile with counts	$0.008
Basic profile	An older account the source returns with name, bio and avatar only, no counts	$0.003
Post by link	Each post looked up by its own link	$0.008

Example: profiles and latest posts of 50 accounts cost 50 × $0.008 + 400 × $0.0015 + $0.005 = $1.005. The replies of 20 busy posts cost 20 × $0.008 + 800 × $0.0015 + $0.005 = $1.365.
