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 ⚙️

Setting	What to enter
What to collect (mode)	Choose the information to collect.

End date (endDate)	Optional date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Leave empty to use Plurk's standard search period. For Post Search.
Post links (postUrls)	Paste one link per line. Example: https://www.plurk.com/p/3h6rlzso1e For Post.
Profile links (profileUrls)	Paste one link per line. Example: https://www.plurk.com/plurkoffice For Profile Posts, Profile.

Plurk scraping use cases 🎯

Taiwan social listening

Search posts around products, events or local cultural topics.

Creator monitoring

Collect a selected profile’s own posts for publishing research.

Campaign research

Review keyword matches within a supported date range.

Community discovery

Find relevant public profiles through keyword search.

Content archives

Store source-linked post text and images for a focused research project.

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.

Plurk 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":"post_search","searchQueries":["貓"],"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.

There are no modes for exporting the individual users who liked or replurked posts.

Plurk 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 Plurk?

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 posts within dates?

Post Search supports the available date-range options for keyword searches.

Does profile export include every repost?

Profile Posts collects the profile’s own public posts.

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