  "text": "3 Ways to Review Past Memories\nA group's best moments don't stay on the feed for long. A year in, the day that mattered most is buried under a thousand ordinary ones.\nHere are three ways to keep that from happening: one for while it's happening, one for when it winds down, and one for when the group starts up again.\nWhile It's Happening\nRemember the day from every angle by adding an album to an event\nThe day itself is the easiest part to lose. One person posts four photos that night, everyone reacts, and the other twenty photos stay on twenty different phones.\nAttach an album to an event and everyone who was there adds their photos to the same place. The day gets remembered from more than one angle, not just whoever posted first.\nEvery album stacks under the Album tab. Months later, that tab is the fastest way back to any single day your group spent together.\nWhen It Winds Down\nArchive a Band to leave it right where you left it\nEvery group has a last day. The season ends, the class graduates, the project ships. What usually happens next is silence, and then someone leaves. Archiving doesn't close a Band. It makes it quiet on purpose. Every post, photo, and comment stays exactly where it is, and new activity and notifications pause.\nIt stops being a place you check and becomes a place you visit. And if the group ever starts up again, an Admin can reactivate it anytime.\nIf you're a member: you don't lose a thing. The Band stays on your list, and it's yours to open and read back through whenever you want.\nWhen It Starts Again\nNew group, same bones — copy a Band's settings\nThen it starts again. New members, new season, same group. A new season doesn't have to write over the last one. Copy the settings from a Band you already have into a new one. You have the settings you love in the new Band, and the original keeps its own home-post and photos and all.\nGo back to the old Band any time you want to see how far the group has come.\nIf you're a member: keep an eye out for an invite to the new Band.",

Images, tags and other lists stay with their parent result instead of creating extra rows. Invalid or unavailable inputs, inputs with no results, and requests that fail after all retries produce a row with status: failed. At most one failed row is saved per input; it includes error_code and error_message explaining the outcome. A normal end of pagination after collected results does not add a failed row.

Input requirements and collection settings ⚙️

BAND scraping use cases 🎯

Community discovery

Find groups around travel, sports or local interests for a focused community landscape.

Event research

Review public group posts to identify recurring activities and discussion themes.

Partnership shortlists

Compare group descriptions, member counts and organizers before planning collaborations.

Community content reviews

Collect posts from selected groups to understand their publishing activity and interests.

Keyword monitoring

Search within selected groups for conversations relevant to a product category or event.

Pricing and saved-result behavior 💰

See the Actor's Pricing tab for the active pricing model and current rate. Store settings may change, so this README does not claim a fixed cost.

Under dataset-item pricing:

• Each collected item saved in the dataset is one result.
• Images, tags and other values attached to that item do not create additional rows.
• Automatic retry attempts do not create extra dataset rows.
• A saved failed row is also one billable dataset item, including invalid inputs, unavailable items, no results, or exhausted retries. At most one failed row is saved per input, including when some results were already collected.
• maxResults caps all saved rows for each input, including its failed row. Repeated copies of the same input are processed once. More inputs or a higher limit can produce more saved results.

BAND scraper API and integrations 🔌

Replace $ACTOR_ID with the ID shown in the Actor API tab and $APIFY_TOKEN with your token.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/$ACTOR_ID/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"group_search","searchQueries":["여행"],"maxResults":10}'

Use schedules for recurring collection, webhooks for completion notifications, and Apify integrations for Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, cloud storage, a CRM or your own application.

Reliability, retries, and public-data limits ⚠️

Temporary connection errors, timeouts and access restrictions are retried automatically, up to five attempts. Invalid inputs save a failed row without an HTTP request; confirmed unavailable items save a failed row without unnecessary retries. Exhausted retries also save a failed row. Results already collected remain available if a later request fails, and normal pagination completion adds no error row. Collection also stops after two consecutive fully processed pages add no new results, even if the website provides another cursor. Required detail lookups are completed before checking a page; new results reset the counter, and independent reply branches are checked separately. Failures while initializing the Actor, saving data or scheduling requests stop the run instead of being reported as a failed website result.

Only publicly accessible group content is available; joining a private group is not supported.

BAND controls which information is publicly available. Removed, private or restricted items may be unavailable, and optional values can be null or empty. A run can still fail if the results cannot be saved.

Frequently asked questions ❓

Does it require an account on BAND?

No. You do not need to provide an account, password or login cookies. Only publicly available information is collected.

How does maxResults work?

It limits the number of saved results separately for every input. The minimum is 1. With maxResults set to 10, each input returns at most 10 available results. A detail lookup normally returns one record per input.

Can I search inside a particular group?

Yes. Group Post Search searches a specified public BAND group for matching posts.

Does the actor export member lists?

No. Group details include visible member counts, not a member-list mode.

Why are some fields empty?

The website may not publish that value, or the field may belong to a different collection mode. Missing values remain null or empty instead of being guessed.

Can I export the results to a spreadsheet?

Yes. Download CSV, Excel or JSON from the Apify dataset. All returned fields are included in the same results table.

Support and responsible use 🛟

For a reproducible issue, share the run ID, selected mode, result limit and a safe public example through the support channel. Never disclose access tokens, passwords or proxy credentials.

Use public BAND information lawfully and responsibly. Follow applicable privacy, copyright, data-protection, contractual and platform requirements when storing, analyzing or redistributing results.
