Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### Skool Community Scraper Skool Community Scraper extracts **public Skool community data** from [Skool](https://www.skool.com/) discovery pages, search URLs, group slugs, and group about pages.

Skool Community Scraper is a **Skool scraper and Skool API alternative** for exporting public community data into an Apify dataset. It works with specific Skool groups, public group about pages, and Skool discovery/search URLs such as `https://www.skool.com/discovery?q=marketing`. Use it for repeatable Skool data extraction, market research, community analysis, lead research, pricing monitoring, and AI workflows. You can run it manually, schedule it with [Apify schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules), call it through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2), or send results to [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations). ### What can Skool Community Scraper do? - Extract public community names, slugs, URLs, descriptions, landing page copy, member counts, admin counts, and online counts. - Scrape pricing metadata when Skool exposes it publicly, including monthly, annual, one-time, currency, and interval fields. - Collect public owner profile fields such as name, bio, location, profile image, website, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn. - Pull public course/module counts, tab visibility, privacy/membership settings, custom links, logos, covers, favicon URLs, and timestamps. - Accept multiple input modes: group slugs, full group URLs, `/about` URLs, bare `skool.com/...` URLs, and Skool discovery/search URLs. - Export Skool data as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML from Apify dataset storage. - Run recurring monitoring jobs with scheduling, webhooks, API clients, and integrations. ### What data can you extract from Skool? | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `id`, `name`, `displayName` | Skool community ID, slug, and display name | | `communityUrl`, `aboutUrl` | Public Skool group URLs | | `description`, `landingPageDescription` | Short description and public landing page copy | | `monthlyPrice`, `annualPrice`, `displayPrice` | Public pricing values when present in Skool page data | | `totalMembers`, `totalOnlineMembers`, `totalAdmins`, `totalPosts` | Public community stats | | `numCourses`, `numModules` | Public classroom/course counts when available | | `logoUrl`, `logoBigUrl`, `coverSmallUrl`, `faviconUrl` | Community visual assets | | `privacy`, `membership`, `membershipModel` | Public group access and membership settings | | `calendarVisible`, `classroomVisible`, `mapVisible`, `audioChatVisible` | Public tab visibility flags | | `customLinks`, `landingPageMedia` | Public links and landing page media payloads | | `ownerName`, `ownerBio`, `ownerLocation`, `ownerPictureProfile` | Public owner profile information | | `ownerInstagram`, `ownerYoutube`, `ownerFacebook`, `ownerTwitter`, `ownerLinkedin`, `ownerWebsite` | Public owner social links | | `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `scrapedAt` | Skool timestamps and extraction time | ### How to scrape Skool communities with Skool Community Scraper 1. Open Skool Community Scraper on Apify and click **Try for free**. 2. In `urls`, paste one or more Skool inputs: - `https://www.skool.com/discovery` - `https://www.skool.com/discovery?q=marketing` - `skoolers` - `skool.com/thatpickleballschool` - `https://www.skool.com/skoolers/about` 3. Set `maxResults` to control how many unique communities are saved. 4. Start the Actor. 5. Open the dataset to preview results. 6. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or XML, or retrieve them with an Apify API client. ### How much does it cost to scrape Skool? Skool Community Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. One event is one Skool community record saved to the dataset. | Event | Price per event | Price per 1,000 | |-------|-----------------|-----------------| | `community-scraped` | $0.0035 | **$3.50** | | `community-scraped` on Gold tier | $0.0030 | **$3.00** | Apify free trial credits can be used where applicable. For example, a 1,000-community run costs $3.50 before Apify platform usage costs on free, bronze, and silver tiers. ### Input / Output Common input: | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `urls` | array of strings | No | `["https://www.skool.com/discovery"]` | Skool discovery URLs, search URLs, group URLs, `/about` URLs, bare Skool URLs, or group slugs | | `maxResults` | integer | No | `50` | Maximum number of unique communities to save | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | Apify Proxy off | Optional proxy settings | Compatibility note: `groups` is accepted as an alias for `urls`, so existing input such as `{"groups":["skoolers"]}` works. Output example: ```json { "id": "e44528d24bfe4d65b0a412441feaa489", "name": "skoolers", "displayName": "Skoolers", "communityUrl": "https://www.skool.com/skoolers", "aboutUrl": "https://www.skool.com/skoolers/about", "description": "Private club for skool owners.

Paste URLs such as `https://www.skool.com/discovery?q=marketing` into `urls`. **Can I scrape specific Skool groups?** Yes. Use a slug such as `skoolers`, a bare URL such as `skool.com/skoolers`, or a full URL such as `https://www.skool.com/skoolers/about`. **Why is `supportEmail` sometimes missing?** The Actor only saves support email data when it is present in public Skool page data. It does not log in, bypass access controls, or invent contact fields. **Can I schedule recurring Skool scraping?** Yes. Use [Apify schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) to run hourly, daily, weekly, or at a custom interval. **Can I connect results to Google Sheets, Make, or Zapier?** Yes. Use [Apify integrations](https://apify.com/integrations), webhooks, or the API to send Skool data into spreadsheets, databases, dashboards, or automation tools. **Where do I report problems or request a field?** Open an issue on the Actor page and include your input JSON plus the Skool URL you were trying to scrape. # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): Add Skool group slugs, group URLs, /about URLs, or discovery URLs.
