๐ฌ Discourse Forum Topics Scraper
๐ Pull Discourse Forum Topics data in seconds. Pull topics from any public Discourse forum with replies, views, likes and tags.
The Discourse Forum Topics Scraper turns the public Discourse forums feed into clean, structured rows you can route to a warehouse, dashboard or downstream pipeline. No login, no manual copy-paste.
It is built for analysts, researchers and product teams who need the same data the source publishes, only normalised and ready to query.
| ๐ฏ Target Audience | ๐ก Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Researchers | Build longitudinal datasets for analysis |
| Compliance teams | Monitor regulated entities and filings |
| Journalists | Investigate public records at scale |
| Data analysts | Power BI dashboards and reports |

๐ What the Discourse Forum Topics Scraper does
- Queries Discourse forums for the latest records
- Supports targeted filtering via the input parameters
- Returns structured records with 14 fields, no scraping artifacts
- Handles pagination automatically up to your
maxItemslimit - Cleans HTML entities and normalises dates and identifiers
- Delivers results to the Apify dataset, ready to query
๐ก Why it matters Public data sources rarely offer bulk access. This Actor turns the live source into a queryable dataset.
๐ Data fields
Each record includes: categoryId, createdAt, id, lastPostedAt, likeCount, postsCount, replyCount, results, scrapedAt, slug, sourceUrl, tags, title, views. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
โ ๏ธ Good to Know: the actor returns whatever the live source returns at runtime.
๐ How to use

- Open the Discourse Forum Topics Scraper actor page
- Configure your input, set filters or leave defaults
- Set
maxItems(10 for a quick preview, higher for bulk pulls) - Click Run and wait for the dataset to populate
- Review the dataset in the Apify console
