Douban (豆瓣) Group Scraper | 小组 Discussions, Members & Replies (2026)

Douban group scraper compared with a competing scraper: 9,706 discussions from one group, all 52,595 members, and 1,328 groups found for the keyword 租房

From Zen Studio, creators of RedNote Comments and Douyin Search, with 95,000+ combined lifetime runs.

Why choose this actor?

  • A keyword, not a link. Type 蜜雪冰城 and collect the discussions that mention it from every Douban group at once: 1,003 in testing, from hundreds of different groups. No competing scraper searches Douban discussions at all.
  • A whole group, not one thread. Paste a group link and collect its discussions across every order and tag: 9,706 of a 10,675-discussion group in testing. The most-used competing Douban scraper takes one discussion link at a time.
  • The member list nobody else offers. Every member with profile link, Douban join date, city, role in the group and weekly posting activity: 52,595 in that same group.
  • Find groups by keyword. Type 租房 and get the matching groups (1,328 of them), then collect from the best ones. Discussions carry 69 fields with full text, tags, likes and reply threads.

Start with a Douban link

Try the example: a group and its newest discussions

Open the actor's input page, switch to JSON and paste this. Then start the run.

{
"startUrls": ["https://www.douban.com/group/740472/"],
"groupContent": ["discussions", "profile"],
"maxDiscussions": 20
}

Add "members" to groupContent and set Max members to collect the member list. Each discussion, member and group profile is charged, see pricing.

How to scrape Douban groups

  1. Open Douban Group Scraper and click Try for free.
  2. Paste Douban group links or type search terms in the Input tab.
  3. Choose what each group returns and set the limits.
  4. Click Start, then export the data as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Ready-made inputs for the most common jobs:

Whole group: discussions in every order and tag

{
"startUrls": ["https://www.douban.com/group/740472/"],
"discussionSort": "all",
"maxDiscussions": 2000
}

all combines newest, popular, featured and every tag tab. Newest alone stops after about 300 discussions.

Member list: who is in the group

{
"startUrls": ["https://www.douban.com/group/740472/"],
"groupContent": ["members", "profile"],
"maxMembers": 5000
}

Douban lists managers first, then the rest.

Discussions by keyword: every group at once

{
"discussionKeywords": ["蜜雪冰城"],
"discussionOrder": "best",
"maxDiscussions": 500,
"includeReplies": true,
"maxReplies": 50
}

No link needed. Douban matches the full text of a discussion, so this returns posts that only mention 蜜雪冰城 in the body, each with the group it was posted in. Around 1,000 discussions per keyword are reachable; set discussionOrder to new to lead with the freshest instead of the best matches.

Groups by keyword: rental groups in China

{
"searchQueries": ["租房"],
"maxGroups": 5,
"groupContent": ["discussions", "profile"],
"maxDiscussions": 100
}

One discussion with its full reply thread

{
"startUrls": ["https://www.douban.com/group/topic/499747962/"],
"includeReplies": true,
"maxReplies": 500
}

Set these in the Input tab, or pass them as JSON through the Apify API.

Schedule Douban group runs and connect your tools

Run a group daily with discussionSort set to new to follow fresh discussions, and keep rows whose topicId you have not stored yet. Member lists change slowly, so monthly is enough.

Send each finished run to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier or n8n, trigger a webhook when it completes, or pull the dataset with the Apify API and the Python or JavaScript client.

How to run the scraper and put it on a schedule (official Apify videos):

How much does it cost to scrape Douban groups?

$4.99 per 1,000 discussions. Replies are included at no extra charge.

What you collectPer 1,000
Discussions with replies$4.99
Group profiles$3.99
Members$1.99

Apify plans with Store discounts pay less, down to $3.99, $2.99 and $1.49 per 1,000.

Set a maximum cost per run in the Apify Console; the run stops once it is reached.

FAQ

What is a Douban group (豆瓣小组)? Douban (豆瓣, at douban.com) is China's reviews and interest community, and its groups (小组) are its forums: tens of thousands of them, from city rental boards to book clubs and support communities.

Each group has discussions with reply threads, its own tags and rules, and a member list. This actor collects all three.

How many discussions can I get from one group? With discussionSort set to all, most of the group: 9,706 of one group's 10,675 discussions in testing, by combining newest, popular, featured and every tag.

The newest order alone stops after about 300, which is what Douban shows a visitor in that view.

Can I find discussions without knowing the group? Yes, and this is what sets the actor apart. Put keywords in discussionKeywords and it collects discussions that mention them from every Douban group at once: 1,003 for 蜜雪冰城, 999 for 抑郁症, 644 for 租房 in testing, spread over hundreds of groups.

Douban matches every word of a keyword, so 小米SU7 also returns posts about 小米 alone. discussionOrder decides what a shorter run keeps: best for research, new for monitoring.

Can I really get every member? Yes. The member list pages to the end: 52,595 members in the test group, managers first.

Set Max members to control how many you collect and what the run costs.

Is there an official Douban API for groups? Not for new developers: Douban closed its public developer API years ago.

This actor returns discussions, members and group profiles as structured JSON you can download or pull with the Apify API.

Can I filter discussions by tag? Yes. Put the tag names in tags, exactly as Douban shows them, for example 经验分享. The group's tags are listed in its group profile row.

Note that a tag's discussion count on Douban includes deleted discussions, so a tag can serve fewer than it advertises.

Can I get the newest discussions first? Set discussionSort to new. Douban shows visitors about 300 discussions in that order, so use all for depth and new for freshness.

Do replies cost extra? No. Replies are attached to the discussion row at no extra charge, with author, votes, IP location and photos.

Can I also get movie, book and music data? Not in this actor. Douban Scraper collects title details and short comments, and Douban Reviews Scraper collects long-form reviews with a star filter.

Why is the text in Chinese? Douban is a Chinese-language platform, and the actor keeps the original text. Translate it afterwards with DeepL, Google Translate or an LLM if needed.

Why don't Douban image links open in my browser? Douban only serves its images to visitors coming from Douban pages. Download them with the Referer header set to https://www.douban.com/.

How do I export the data? Download JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML from the run's Storage tab, or use the Apify API. JSON keeps nested fields such as author, tags and replies intact.

How fresh is the data? It is collected live when the run starts. Every row has a scrapedAt timestamp.

What happens with private groups or deleted discussions? The run logs a short warning, skips them and continues. Skipped items are not charged.

Is it legal to scrape Douban groups? The actor collects publicly available data only. Member names, locations and profile links are personal data.

You are responsible for complying with Douban's terms and data protection laws, including GDPR, CCPA and China's PIPL.
