Teachable Scraper - Pay Per Result

by SilentFlow

Only pay for what you get. No compute costs, no proxy fees, no surprises. Just results.

Why Pay Per Result?

Traditional Scraper	Pay Per Result
Pay for compute time	Pay only for data
Proxy costs extra	Proxies included
Failed runs cost money	No charge if it fails
Unpredictable costs	Know exactly what you'll pay

Integrations

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("silentflow/teachable-scraper-ppr").call(run_input={
    "schoolUrls": [{"url": "https://school.teachable.com"}],
    "scrapeDetails": True,
    "maxItems": 50
})

for course in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"{course['title']}: ${course['price']}")

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

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

const run = await client.actor('silentflow/teachable-scraper-ppr').call({
    schoolUrls: [{ url: 'https://school.teachable.com' }],
    scrapeDetails: true,
    maxItems: 50
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} courses`);

Tips for best results

1. Use maxItems wisely: Only request what you need
2. Disable details for speed: scrapeDetails: false is much faster
3. Custom domains work: Use any Teachable school URL
4. Test first: Try with maxItems: 3 to verify your setup works

FAQ
