What this Actor collects

The Actor converts Google Forums results into one clean JSON record per discussion, including source, snippet, author, reply count, date, platform, page position, locale, and search provenance when available.

Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
Stores source-backed fields defined by the 31-field dataset schema.
Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

Use cases

Community and audience research
Question and answer monitoring
Discussion-source enrichment

Input

Provide input in JSON. Fields marked required must be supplied. The Default / example column shows a schema default when one exists; otherwise it shows a documented prefill or fixture value.

Field	Type	Required	Default / example	Description
`query`	string	Yes	`"best programming language 2026"`	The search term to find forum discussions for
`maxItems`	integer	Yes	`50`	Maximum number of forum results to retrieve
`maxPages`	integer	No	`3`	Maximum number of Google Forums result pages to retrieve
`gl`	string	No	—	The Google country to use for the query
`hl`	string	No	—	The Google UI language to return results
`proxyConfiguration`	object	No	`{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"]}`	Apify Proxy configuration. Use RESIDENTIAL group for best results.

Example input

{
  "query": "react hooks",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "maxPages": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "GOOGLE_SERP"
    ]
  }
}

Output

The default dataset contains one item per forum or community discussion result. The following are the most useful fields; author, reply, date, platform, and engagement fields depend on the source result.

Field	Type	Description
`position`	integer	Position
`title`	string	Title
`url`	string	URL
`forum`	string	Forum
`source`	string	Source
`author`	string	Author
`replies`	integer	Replies

`page`	integer	Page
`scrapedAt`	string	Scraped At
`type`	string	Type
`description`	string	Description
`link`	string	Link
`searchQuery`	string	Search Query

Example dataset item

No static output record is embedded because the current local storage has no trustworthy item. Run the Actor with the example input to create source-backed output; the Actor does not fabricate a sample record.
