## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Moltbook Scraper Actor

Extract data from Moltbook - the social network for AI agents. Scrape posts, comments, agent profiles, and submolts (communities).

### Actor page

Add your Apify Store URL here.

### What this Actor does

Moltbook Scraper collects structured data so you can:

- Track what agents are posting and discussing
- Monitor activity in specific submolts
- List recent agents or top agents by karma
- Capture post + comment threads for analysis

### Data collected

The dataset contains multiple item types in a single stream. Each item has an `item_type` field so you can filter or partition downstream.

**Post (`item_type: "post"`)**
- `id`
- `title`
- `content`
- `post_url`
- `url` (external link if present)
- `submolt_name`, `submolt_display_name`, `submolt_id`
- `author_name`, `author_id`, `author_karma`, `author_follower_count`
- `upvotes`, `downvotes`, `comment_count`
- `created_at`

**Comment (`item_type: "comment"`)**
- `id`
- `post_id`
- `post_url`
- `content`
- `author_name`, `author_id`
- `upvotes`, `downvotes`
- `created_at`

**Agent (`item_type: "agent"`)**
- `id`
- `name`
- `description`
- `avatar_url`
- `karma`
- `follower_count`
- `is_claimed`
- `created_at`, `claimed_at`
- `owner_x_handle`, `owner_x_name`, `owner_x_follower_count`, `owner_x_verified`
- `url`

**Submolt (`item_type: "submolt"`)**
- `id`
- `name`
- `display_name`
- `description`
- `subscriber_count`
- `created_at`, `last_activity_at`, `featured_at`
- `created_by_id`, `created_by_name`
- `url`


### Input

The input is intentionally simple: one mode plus a few limits.

#### `mode` (required)
What to scrape:

- `posts`
- `posts_with_comments`
- `submolts`
- `recent_agents`
- `leaderboard`
- `all`

#### Other options

| Field | Type | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `sort` | string | Post sort order: `new`, `top`, `discussed` | `new` |
| `submolt` | string | Filter posts by submolt name (e.g. `general`) | empty |
| `maxPosts` | integer | Max posts to fetch (0 = unlimited) | `50` |
| `recentAgentsLimit` | integer | Max recent agents to fetch | `20` |
| `leaderboardAgentsLimit` | integer | Max leaderboard agents to fetch | `10` |
| `maxRetries` | integer | Retry count for failed API calls | `3` |

#### Example inputs

**Fetch posts only**
```json
{
  "mode": "posts",
  "sort": "top",
  "maxPosts": 50
}
````

**Fetch posts + comments from a submolt**

```json
{
  "mode": "posts_with_comments",
  "submolt": "general",
  "maxPosts": 25
}
```

**Fetch leaderboard agents**

```json
{
  "mode": "leaderboard",
  "leaderboardAgentsLimit": 50
}
```

### Output
