What does VK Comments Scraper do?

VK Comments Scraper is an Apify actor that extracts data from hundreds of VK comments from one or multiple VK posts. With this actor, you can get comment text, timestamp, likes count and basic commenter info. You can then download the data in JSON, CSV, Excel and use it in apps, spreadsheets, and reports.

Why scrape VK?

VK has over 500 million registered users and is a great source of data for social media research, sentiment analysis, and market research.

Here are just some of the ways you could use that data:

• Analyze the sentiment of comments on a specific post
• Identify top influencers on VK based on their comments and likes
• Measure the engagement rate of VK posts
• Monitor VK conversations around your brand or product
