Scrape posts from public Gab groups: pinned posts, posts with media, comments and replies, or the group details. No Gab login is needed. Download the data as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

How to use it

  1. Add group IDs (150 for https://gab.com/groups/150) or group URLs. Add /media to a URL, or turn on Only group posts with media, to keep only posts with images or videos.
  2. Set Max posts per group and the Group posts sort.
  3. Optionally set Max comments per post, Add author profile to posts and Add group details to posts.
  4. Click Start.

Set Max posts per group to 0 to save the group details (title, description, members, privacy, verified badge, cover images, rules) instead of posts.

{
"groupsIds": ["150"],
"desiredPostsCount": 100,
"groupPostsSortBy": "TOP_MONTHLY",
"addGroupInfo": true
}

Output

Each post has the same columns: id, url, created_at, content (plain text), language, replies_count, reblogs_count, favourites_count, quotes_count, reactions_counts, pinned, media_attachments (images and videos with URLs), card (link preview), poll, mentions, tags, reblog (the original post of a repost), quote (the quoted post) and more. Optional fields are account (author profile), group (group details) and comments (comments and replies with the same columns as posts).

Limits of Gab

Gab shows less to logged-out visitors than to members, and the scraper only collects what Gab shows publicly:

  • With the Newest sorts Gab only returns about the last 7 days of posts. Use a Top sort, for example Top all time, to get older posts. The log tells you when a source ran out for this reason.
  • At most 500 comments per post.
  • Private accounts and groups can't be scraped, but their profiles can be saved with Max posts set to 0.

This Actor only collects publicly available data and doesn't log in. Personal data is protected by laws such as GDPR, so only scrape personal data when you have a legitimate reason, and consult a lawyer if you're unsure. Read more in Is web scraping legal?
