Skool Scraper

50 posts with comments in under 30 seconds. Extract posts, comments, member profiles, courses, and events from any public Skool community. No login or cookies required.

How it works

✨ Why teams choose this over other Skool scrapers

Copying posts from Skool tabs one by one? Other scrapers asking you to paste your login cookies? Tired of setting up authentication just to get public data?

• 🔓 No login, no cookies, no setup. Other Skool scrapers (memo23, louisdeconinck) require you to log in and paste session cookies. This one works out of the box with zero authentication.
• 📝 5 data types in one run. Posts, comments, about/leaderboard, classroom courses, and calendar events. One scraper replaces five.
• 👥 Full member profiles with social links. Every author gets bio, level, points, and links to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and their website.
• 💬 Nested comment threads, not just top-level. All reply levels are extracted with the same rich author data. Competitors often skip nested replies.
• ⚡ 50 posts with full comments in 30 seconds. Fast pagination and parallel comment extraction keep scraping times low even for large communities.

💻 Integrations

Pull Skool posts into a Python pipeline

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

run_input = {
    "startUrls": [
        {"url": "https://www.skool.com/ai-automation-society"}
    ],
    "scrapeComments": True,
    "scrapeAbout": True,
    "scrapeClassroom": True,
    "scrapeCalendar": True,
    "maxItems": 100,
    "maxPages": 5,
}

run = client.actor("silentflow/skool-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

Feed Skool data into a JavaScript app

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });

const input = {
    startUrls: [
        { url: 'https://www.skool.com/ai-automation-society' },
    ],
    scrapeComments: true,
    scrapeAbout: true,
    scrapeClassroom: true,
    scrapeCalendar: true,
    maxItems: 100,
    maxPages: 5,
};

const run = await client.actor('silentflow/skool-scraper').call(input);

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

📈 Performance

Metric	Value
Speed	50 posts with comments in ~30 seconds
Posts per page	~30
Comments	All comments and nested replies per post
Courses	All public courses in classroom
Events	All upcoming calendar events
Max posts	Up to 50,000 per run
Memory	256 MB (scales automatically)

💡 Tips for best results

1. Start with 50 posts. Use maxItems: 50 and maxPages: 5 for your first run to preview the data structure before scaling up.
2. Skip comments for speed. Set scrapeComments: false to avoid visiting each post's detail page. This makes large scrapes significantly faster.
3. Extract only what you need. If you only want courses, disable scrapeAbout, scrapeComments, and scrapeCalendar. Fewer requests means faster results.
4. Target specific posts. Pass individual post URLs in startUrls to get full content and all comments for those posts only.
5. Use community URLs for bulk extraction. A single community URL with maxItems: 5000 and maxPages: 200 will paginate through the full post history automatically.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need a Skool account or cookies? A: No. This scraper works without any login, cookies, or authentication. It extracts publicly available data from public Skool communities.

Q: Can I scrape private communities? A: No. The scraper only accesses public Skool communities. Private communities are not supported.

Q: How do I get all posts from a large community? A: Increase maxItems and maxPages to cover the full community. Each page contains approximately 30 posts.

Q: What social links are extracted? A: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, and personal websites. These are extracted for post authors, comment authors, the community owner, and leaderboard members.

Q: Can I get just the about page or classroom without posts? A: Yes. Set maxItems: 1 and enable only the sections you need (scrapeAbout, scrapeClassroom, scrapeCalendar).

Q: Are nested comment replies included? A: Yes. All reply levels are fully extracted with the same author data (bio, social links, points, level).
