What can the CS.RIN.RU Forum Scraper do? {#what-can-it-do}

🔎 Search the forum by keyword — one or many terms in the same run.
🧵 Get topic titles and IDs so you can group posts by thread.
💬 Get full post text with the author handle and numeric author ID.
🔗 Extract download and external links found in post bodies.
📄 Control how many search pages to walk so cost stays predictable.
🎯 Target specific topics or forum sections with direct URLs instead of a keyword search.
🏷️ Every row carries the keyword that matched, so multi-term runs stay separable.
⏰ Schedule runs to catch new posts on a game or topic as they appear.
📤 Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML, or pull live via API.

Go beyond the limits of the official CS.RIN.RU API: no OAuth app, no app review, no quota juggling — paste your input and collect publicly available data.

Who uses the CS.RIN.RU Forum Scraper? {#who-uses-it}

🎮 Game researchers & journalists — follow release and patch discussions across many titles.
📊 Market analysts — measure community attention for a game over time.
🛡️ Anti-piracy & brand-protection teams — monitor where and how titles are discussed.
🧑‍💻 Data teams — build forum corpora for NLP, topic modelling, or sentiment work.
🕵️ OSINT researchers — track threads, authors, and link patterns.

What data can I scrape? {#what-data}

Field	Type	Description
`type`	string	Record type marker.
`topicTitle`	string	Thread title.
`topicId`	string	Numeric thread ID.
`postId`	string	Numeric post ID.
`text`	string	Post body text.
`author`	string	Author handle.
`authorId`	string	Author numeric ID.
`downloadLinks`	array	Links found in the post body.
`url`	string	Direct link to the post.
`keyword`	string	The search keyword that matched this row.

Fields reflect what CS.RIN.RU exposes publicly for that item. Values that do not exist for a given item are returned as null rather than dropped, so your schema stays stable.

How to scrape forum topics and posts {#how-to}

Open the CS.RIN.RU Forum Scraper on Apify.
Add keywords to Search keywords, or paste topic / section URLs into Start URLs.
(Optional) Set Max items and Max search pages.
Click ▶ Start and export the dataset.

No login, no cookies, no proxy configuration. Start with one input to see the output shape, then scale the same run — the fields stay identical, so code written against a test run keeps working.

Input example {#input-example}

{
  "searchKeywords": [
    "Cyberpunk 2077",
    "Elden Ring"
  ],
  "maxItems": 300,
  "maxSearchPages": 3
}

searchKeywords — terms to search on the forum.
startUrls — specific topic or section URLs, if you already know where to look.
maxItems — hard cap on posts returned per run.
maxSearchPages — how many pages of search results to walk per keyword.

Output example {#output-example}

{
  "url": "https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71329&p=3557595#p3557595",
  "text": "steamdb can help you with folder structure, you also have to make sure you have tweakdb_ep1.bin and maybe a dlc unlocker (creamAPI etc)",
  "type": "post",
  "author": "SubSonix",
  "postId": "3557595",
  "keyword": "Cyberpunk 2077",
  "topicId": "71329",
  "authorId": "374230",
  "sourceType": "csrin",
  "topicTitle": "Cyberpunk 2077",
  "downloadLinks": []
}

Every run produces a clean dataset you can page through in the Apify Console or pull via API. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML in one click.

How much will it cost? {#pricing}

Simple, predictable pay-per-result pricing — you pay for the posts you actually receive, not for compute time.

💸 Pay per post — budget is just posts × rate, so you can estimate spend up front.
📉 Volume discounts — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Apify plans get progressively lower rates.
🆓 Free to try — new Apify accounts include monthly free usage, so your first run costs nothing.
🚫 No hidden fees — no proxy add-on, no per-request API charge, no minimum spend.

See the live rate on the Apify store page.

Tips {#tips}

🧵 Group rows by topicId to reconstruct a discussion in order.
📄 Raise maxSearchPages slowly. Each extra page costs time; two or three usually cover recent activity.
🔗 downloadLinks is where the signal is for release tracking — filter rows that contain any.
🏷️ Run several game titles at once and split later on keyword.
⏰ Schedule daily for an active title; weekly is enough for older ones.
🤖 Feed text into an LLM to summarise long threads into a status update.

Use the data with AI agents (MCP) {#mcp}

The CS.RIN.RU Forum Scraper is available through the Apify MCP server, so AI assistants can call it as a tool and pull forum topics and posts on demand.

🧩 Claude — add the Apify MCP server and let Claude fetch and analyse the data.
🤖 ChatGPT — use the actor as a tool inside research and reporting workflows.
🖊️ Cursor — pull structured results straight into your coding sessions.

Common AI-agent recipes:

🎮 Release watch — "what's the latest discussion about this game's update?"
🧵 Thread summary — "summarise this topic's posts into five bullets."
📊 Attention check — "how many posts mention these two titles this week?"
🕵️ Author tracking — "which authors post most in these threads?"

Integrations & API {#integrations}

Connect the actor to the tools you already use: Make, Zapier, n8n, Slack, Airbyte, Gumloop, CrewAI, IFTTT, Lindy, GitHub, Google Sheets, and Google Drive — plus webhooks, Apify Schedules, and the MCP server.

Run synchronously and get the dataset (Apify API)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/myagizm~csrin-forum-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchKeywords": ["Cyberpunk 2077", "Elden Ring"], "maxItems": 300, "maxSearchPages": 3}'

Start a run asynchronously

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/myagizm~csrin-forum-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchKeywords": ["Cyberpunk 2077", "Elden Ring"], "maxItems": 300, "maxSearchPages": 3}'

Fetch dataset items later

$curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/myagizm~csrin-forum-scraper/runs/last/dataset/items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN&format=csv"

Change format to json, csv, xlsx, or xml to export in your preferred format. The Apify Console also auto-generates ready-to-paste JavaScript, Python, and CLI snippets plus an OpenAPI spec for this actor.

Support {#support}

Questions, feature requests, or something not looking right? Open an issue on the actor's Issues tab. Please include the input you used so we can reproduce and fix it quickly.

FAQ {#faq}

Does it need a forum account?

No. Only publicly visible search results and topic pages are read; the actor never logs in.

Can I scrape a specific thread instead of searching?

Yes — paste the topic URL into Start URLs.

Why do some posts have empty `downloadLinks`?

Because that post contains no links. The field is an empty array rather than missing, so your schema stays stable.

Is the full post text returned?

Yes, the visible body text of each post.

Can I combine keywords and URLs in one run?

Yes; both inputs are processed and every row records where it came from.

No. There is no login, no cookies, and no API key. The actor reads only pages a logged-out visitor can see.

Do I need proxies?

No. Proxy handling is built in and managed.

Can I export to CSV, Excel, or JSON?

Yes — JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML from the Console, or the API format parameter.

Can I use it with the Apify API?

Yes, using the sync and async endpoints shown above.

Is there an MCP server for AI agents?

Yes. Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can call this actor as a tool.

Can I schedule runs?

Yes — Apify Schedules, API, or webhooks. Forums move fast, so scheduling is the normal way to use this.

How fresh is the data?

No caching: every run reads the current public page.
