## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Skool Community Finder: Owner Leads, Members & Prices

**Find Skool communities and the creators behind them.** Search Skool's discovery by keyword or category, or give a list of community URLs, and get one row per community with:

- **Owner:** name, bio, location, **website, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, X and Facebook**, and Skool profile
- **Size and activity:** members, members online, posts, admins, courses and modules
- **Business model:** free or paid, price and billing interval, rating and review count
- **Pitch:** description, full landing-page text and the community's public links

Built for **agencies, sponsors, course and SaaS tools, and coaches** looking for creator leads, and for anyone sizing up a niche on Skool before launching their own community.

No login, no key, no proxy.

### What you get

`slug`, `url`, `name`, `description`, `members`, `membersOnline`, `posts`, `admins`, `courses`, `modules`, `isPaid`, `priceAmount`, `priceCurrency`, `priceUsd`, `billingInterval`, `rating`, `reviews`, `privacy`, `landingPageText`, `communityLinks`, `ownerName`, `ownerUsername`, `ownerProfileUrl`, `ownerBio`, `ownerLocation`, `ownerWebsite`, `ownerInstagram`, `ownerYoutube`, `ownerLinkedin`, `ownerTwitter`, `ownerFacebook`, `ownerPhotoUrl`, `logoUrl`, `coverUrl`, `createdAt`, `foundBy`

### Example input

Paid fitness and AI automation communities with 100 to 5,000 members:

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["fitness", "ai automation"],
  "price": "paid",
  "minMembers": 100,
  "maxMembers": 5000,
  "maxCommunities": 200
}
```

The trending communities in the Money category, discovery data only (faster):

```json
{
  "categories": ["money"],
  "includeOwner": false,
  "maxCommunities": 100
}
```

Specific communities:

```json
{
  "communityUrls": ["https://www.skool.com/ai-automation-society", "makerschool"]
}
```

### Example output

```json
{
  "slug": "fitness101",
  "url": "https://www.skool.com/fitness101",
  "name": "Fitness 101",
  "description": "Best shape of your life in 90 days or your money back. Live coaching, daily feedback and an exclusive app to stay on track!",

}
```

### Uses

- **Creator lead lists:** owners of paid communities in your niche, with their website and socials
- **Sponsorships and partnerships:** communities by size and engagement, with members online and post counts
- **Market research:** what people charge in a niche, how big the leaders are and what they promise
- **Monitoring:** schedule it weekly and watch members and pricing change
- **Pair it with** [Company Email Finder](https://apify.com/scrapemint/company-email-finder) to turn owner websites into email addresses

### Pricing

- **$0.003** per community
- No start fee. A run that finds nothing is free.

100 communities with owner details cost $0.30.

### Notes

- Skool discovery shows up to 1,000 communities per search (30 a page). Use several search terms or categories for more.
- Skool does not show owner emails publicly; the website and social links are what owners choose to publish.
- `priceUsd` is set when the price is in US dollars; `priceAmount` and `priceCurrency` are always the listed price.
- Prices come from Skool discovery. A community looked up only by URL may show `isPaid: false` when Skool hides its price on the about page.

## `communityUrls` (type: `array`):

## `minMembers` (type: `integer`):

});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchQueries": [

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchQueries": [
    "ai automation",
    "fitness"
  ]
}' |
apify call scrapemint/skool-community-finder --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapemint/skool-community-finder"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
