VK Post Details Scraper – Text, Media & Engagement

Extract a public VK wall post from its URL, including the text, author, publication time, engagement counts, and available attachments. VK Post Details Scraper keeps each post and its supplied repost context in one result row.

Use it to enrich a list of known posts, compare public content performance, or preserve the text and media references needed for research. Both VK.ru and VK.com post links are supported.

What the VK post details scraper extracts 📝

Available post data includes:

• Composite post ID, numeric post ID, owner ID, and permalink
• Text, author identity, author URL, and avatar
• Publication timestamp, UTC date, and visible date text
• Likes, comments, reposts, and views
• Available photo, video, document, link, poll, or other attachment metadata
• Supplied repost history with its text, author, and attachments
• Pinned, advertising, favorite, and action indicators
• Published copyright and geographic context

Attachment details depend on what the public page supplies. Media URLs and previews are returned as data; the Actor does not download the files.

How to scrape VK post details 🚀

1. Add the full URL of each public VK wall post.
2. Start the Actor.
3. Review success and failed rows in the dataset.
4. Export the records or join them to a content-analysis workflow.

{
  "inputList": [
    "https://vk.ru/wall-22822305_1721576"
  ]
}

Accepted links pointing to the same post are processed once. A link targeting a particular comment still identifies the parent post for this Actor.

Each post occupies one row in one table. JSON uses the same literal keys, including author.name. Variable attachment fields are stored as matching attachments.path and attachments.value lists. For example, /0/type identifies the first attachment's type; its value is at the same position in the value list.

Reposted content, copyright, and geography use the same paired-list pattern. An attachment or supplied repost remains part of the original row. Empty collections yield empty lists; other omitted values can remain empty strings, 0, or false. Failed results retain input, set status to failed, and use null for all post-data fields.

Input requirements and post coverage ⚙️

Parameter	Type	Required	Rules
inputList	array of strings	Yes	At least one full VK post URL

The Actor accepts HTTP or HTTPS links on vk.ru or vk.com, including their subdomains. Direct links use /wallOWNER_ID_POST_ID, with a negative owner ID for a community wall.

Feed or profile URLs containing w=wallOWNER_ID_POST_ID or wall=OWNER_ID_POST_ID are also accepted, including a supplied reply suffix. Bare IDs and ordinary profile URLs without a post reference are invalid.

There is no pagination setting because each input targets one post. Supplied repost history is included to a maximum of three levels; it is not a separate crawl of the original authors' walls.

VK post data use cases 🎯

Known-post enrichment

Add text, author details, publication dates, and engagement counts to posts already selected from another workflow.

Content-performance research

Compare the public counts and post formats of a defined content sample, accounting for collection time and omitted values.

Media-reference catalogs

Organize available photo, video, document, or link references alongside the post that published them.

Repost-context analysis

Examine the supplied copy-history text and authors to understand the source context carried by a public repost.

Pricing and billable post rows 💰

Check the Actor's Pricing tab for the current charging model and rate.

Under dataset-item pricing, each saved success or failed row can count as one result. Accepted URLs resolving to the same post are normally processed once, and request retries do not independently add rows.

Attachments and supplied repost history remain within the post row rather than creating additional dataset items.

VK post details API and integrations 🔌

Use the ID from the Actor's API tab for $ACTOR_ID and your Apify token for $APIFY_TOKEN:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/$ACTOR_ID/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"inputList":["https://vk.ru/wall-22822305_1721576"]}'

Call the Actor through REST, Apify client libraries, schedules, or webhooks. Export its default dataset to a spreadsheet, Make, Zapier, a content database, or your own analytics workflow.

Reliability and public post limits ⚠️

The Actor processes up to five requests concurrently and retries temporary request failures. Invalid URLs, unavailable posts, or pages that remain blocked produce failed rows while other inputs continue.

Public counts can change and may be abbreviated or absent. An omitted numeric value can become zero, while a missing action indicator can become false. Where a numeric publication time is unavailable, a recognized visible date can be converted to a timestamp; the original date text is preserved.

VK can restrict or remove content, alter page layouts, or stop serving media URLs. Attachment and repost coverage depends on what the post page exposes. An inability to save the dataset can stop a run.

Frequently asked questions ❓

Does it accept VK.com links?

Yes. VK.com and VK.ru links are accepted, and the Actor resolves the post reference to a VK.ru permalink.

Can I submit a feed link with a selected post?

Yes, if its w or wall query parameter identifies the wall post. An ordinary profile or feed URL without that reference is insufficient.

Does it download attached photos and videos?

No. It returns available attachment metadata, URLs, and previews.

Does it return comments?

It returns the available comment count. Use Post Comments Scraper for individual comments and replies exposed in comment pages.

Does repost history include every source post?

Only the copy history supplied with the collected post is included, to a maximum of three levels. The Actor does not independently retrieve every source post.
