## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Lemon8 Scraper — Posts, Comments & Replies

Collect public Lemon8 posts from post URLs, creator profiles, keywords, hashtags and category feeds. Get text, images, video links, engagement metrics and optional comments with replies in one dataset. Useful for content research, creator analysis and reviewing public conversations without logging into Lemon8.

**$1.49 per 1,000 delivered posts**, including requested comments and replies. No start fee; platform usage is included. You pay per delivered post, not per comment or reply.

**中文用户 / 中文用戶：** [简体中文说明](#chinese-simplified) · [繁體中文說明](#chinese-traditional)（Lemon8数据采集、Lemon8爬虫、Lemon8评论采集API）

### First result

Keep the example post URL and click Start. The example collects one post and up to five main comments. Download the dataset as JSON for complete nested conversations, or use Apify's export options for tabular analysis.

```json
{
  "postUrls": ["https://www.lemon8-app.com/@lemon8_us/7618125167721710094"],
  "maxCommentsPerPost": 5
}
```

To use another source, clear the example post URL and choose one of the examples below. Multiple sources can be combined. `maxPosts` is a global cap; sources are processed in this order: post URLs, profiles, keywords, hashtag names, numeric hashtag URLs, feeds. Earlier sources can fill the cap before later sources are reached.

#### Ready-to-run examples

| Example | Use case | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| [Lemon8 beauty trends: Korean sunscreen posts and comments](https://apify.com/monkey.d.scraping/lemon8-posts-comments/examples/lemon8-beauty-trend-posts-comments-korean-sunscreen) | Beauty trend research | 10 public posts about Korean sunscreen with up to 10 comments each, showing which products, claims and questions drive the trend |

**[Browse all ready-to-run examples →](https://apify.com/monkey.d.scraping/lemon8-posts-comments/examples)** — English and 中文.

### What can I collect?

| Source | Input | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Individual posts | `postUrls` | Full public post URLs |
| Creator posts | `profileUrls` | `https://www.lemon8-app.com/@lemon8_us` |
| Related keyword results | `keywords` | `skincare routine` |
| Hashtags by name | `hashtags` | `skincare`, `#travel` |
| Exact hashtag topics | `hashtagUrls` | `https://www.lemon8-app.com/topic/7189373472454344709` |
| Category feeds | `feedCategories` | `fashion`, `beauty`, `food`, `travel` |

Discovery uses the US version of Lemon8. Each source list accepts up to ten entries. `maxPosts` accepts 1–100 and defaults to five. Duplicates are identified by post ID across inputs.

#### Creator posts and conversations

```json
{
  "profileUrls": ["https://www.lemon8-app.com/@addy.h.n"],
  "maxPosts": 2,
  "maxCommentsPerPost": 100,
  "includeReplies": true,
  "maxRepliesPerComment": 10
}
```

`maxCommentsPerPost` accepts 0–100 and defaults to 20. Set it to zero for post details only. Replies are off by default. When enabled, `maxRepliesPerComment` accepts 1–50 and defaults to ten. Replies apply only to collected main comments and do not count toward the main-comment limit.

#### Search by keyword

```json
{"keywords": ["travel"], "maxPosts": 2, "maxCommentsPerPost": 0}
```

Keyword results are the related posts Lemon8 shows on its public web search page for that keyword.

#### Search by hashtag

```json
{"hashtags": ["skincare"], "maxPosts": 2, "maxCommentsPerPost": 0}
```

Names are matched against structured tags in up to eight related posts, then verified against the topic's exact name and ID. Only verified active topics are used. For an exact topic, you can also provide its numeric `hashtagUrls` link.

### Output

Each successful dataset row has `type: "post"`. Comments and replies are nested under that post, with `parentCommentId` identifying the conversation thread. Source failures have `type: "error"` and an `error` message.

| Fields | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `id`, `url`, `title`, `content` | Post identity and readable text preserving paragraphs |
| `postType`, `region`, `publishedAt`, `modifiedAt` | Public post classification and ISO dates |
| `images`, `imageCount`, `ocrText` | Image links and text recognized by Lemon8 |
| `videoUrl`, `videoDurationSeconds`, `videoOcr` | Video metadata when available |
| `hashtags`, `topics` | Structured tags, including verified IDs present in post markup |
| `likes`, `saves`, `views`, `reportedCommentCount` | Public counters at collection time |
| `author` | Creator ID, username, name, followers, avatar and verification flag when exposed |
| `comments` | Main comments and optional replies, with text, author, likes and timestamps |
| `coverage` | Retrieved counts, stop reasons and errors for main comments and each reply thread |

The run's key-value store also contains `SUMMARY`: source requests, discovery coverage, skipped previous posts and billing status. Null or missing values mean the public source did not expose the field; they are not invented zeros. Media links are temporary; download media promptly if you need to keep it.

`coverage` and `SUMMARY` stop reasons (`source_exhausted`, `item_limit`, `page_limit`, `web_search_limit`, `no_new_ids`, `empty_page_limit`, `stalled_cursor`, `source_error`, `time_budget`) show why collection of each source or thread ended.

### Resume without collecting the same posts again

Set `resumeFromDataset` to the 17-character ID of a previous dataset from this Actor. Successful post IDs are skipped before fetching details or comments. Previous error rows are retried. The new dataset contains only newly collected posts; it does not copy the old dataset.

Leave this option empty to refresh engagement or conversations. One prior dataset of up to 100,000 rows is checked per run, with read-only access. When `SUMMARY.stopReason` is `time_budget`, `SUMMARY.pendingPostUrls` lists the queued posts; run again with `resumeFromDataset` and the same inputs to continue.

### Frequently asked questions

**Do I need a Lemon8 account or cookies?** No. The Actor reads publicly accessible web data.

**Can I collect replies?** Yes. Enable `includeReplies`; each reply includes its parent comment ID. Retrieved counts are reported for each thread.

**How many comments are returned?** The comments the public website exposes for each post, up to your configured limits. `reportedCommentCount` keeps Lemon8's displayed counter for reference.

**Can I use this through the API?** Yes. Use the Actor's API tab for authenticated run and dataset endpoints. The same input fields apply in Console and API calls.

**Are errors and duplicates chargeable?** The configured price charges only delivered post rows. Error rows and skipped duplicates have no event charge.

**Can I use results for social listening?** Yes, for qualitative analysis of public conversations. Comments are delivered as raw text, without automatic sentiment scores.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
