🔧 Input reference

Field	Type	Default	What it does
mode	string (board-threads, thread-posts, search)	"board-threads"	What to collect. 'board-threads' = list the active thread list for a board (titles + post counts + URLs) from subject.txt — best for trend / buzz monitoring. 'thread-posts' = read…
board	string	"newsplus"	5ch board slug to read (used by board-threads and search). Examples: 'newsplus' (ニュース速報+, the main news board), 'news4vip' (ニュー速VIP), 'mnewsplus' (芸スポ速報+ / entertainment & sports)…
threadUrl	string		Full 5ch thread URL to read posts from, e.g. https://asahi.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/newsplus/1781497598/ . Required when mode='thread-posts'. You can get these URLs from a board-thre…
keyword	string		When mode='search', keep only threads whose title contains this string (case-insensitive substring match). Japanese or English. Ignored in other modes.
maxItems	integer	50	Hard cap on records returned per run. In board-threads/search mode each record is a thread; in thread-posts mode each record is a single post. 15-50 is typical for monitoring; a b…
proxyConfiguration	object	{"useApifyProxy": true}	Apify proxy. 5ch is open over plain HTTP, so the default datacenter Apify Proxy is fine. Add a Japan-egress / residential group if you hit occasional rate-limiting on heavy runs.
notionConnector	string		Optional. Connect your Notion workspace and the results are also written as a Notion page in the same run — the Actor never sees your Notion credentials. Authorize a Notion MCP co…
notionParentId	string		Optional. The Notion page ID to create the page under. If blank, Notion creates a private page in your workspace.
supabaseConnector	string		Optional. Connect your own Supabase project and the results are also inserted into a table in the same run — the Actor never sees your Supabase credentials. Authorize a write-scop…
supabaseTable	string	"nexgendata_leads"	Target table in the public schema (created if missing, with id, a jsonb data column, and a scraped_at timestamp). Default: nexgendata_leads.
supabaseProjectId	string		Your Supabase project reference (e.g. abcdefghijklmnop). Required unless your connector URL is already project-scoped. Find it in your project URL: supabase.com/dashboard/project/…
deliveryDedup	boolean	true	When on (default), records already delivered in a previous run are not delivered again to the same destination — so scheduled runs only push new items. Turn off to deliver every r…

🧾 JSON sample record

One real record from run mAbfk0PbjmXN2ZGdn (emails/phones masked, long text shortened):

{
  "board": "newsplus",
  "thread_id": "9240230830",
  "title": "★ UPLIFT プレミアム・サービスのお知らせ",
  "post_count": 2,
  "thread_url": "https://asahi.5ch.io/test/read.cgi/newsplus/9240230830/",
  "last_active": "2262-10-24T02:47:10Z",
  "data_source": "asahi.5ch.io/newsplus/subject.txt",
  "as_of_timestamp": "2026-09-25T03:20:48Z"
}

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.005	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Thread post (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.1	Charged per record extracted into your dataset.

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.1 = $10.00 plus the start fee.
