Skool Community Scraper Using Olostep API

This n8n template automates scraping content from Skool communities using the Olostep API.
It collects structured data from Skool pages and stores it in a clean format, making it easy to analyze communities, extract insights, or build datasets for research and outreach.

Who’s it for

• Community builders researching Skool groups
• Marketers analyzing competitor or niche communities
• SaaS founders validating ideas through community data
• Automation builders collecting structured social data
• Anyone who wants Skool data without manual scraping

How it works / What it does

1. Trigger

   • The workflow starts with a manual trigger or form input containing a Skool URL or query.

2. Skool Page Scraping

   • The workflow uses the Olostep API to scrape Skool community pages.
   • Extracts structured data using LLM-based parsing.

3. Data Extraction

   • Depending on configuration, the workflow can extract:
     • Community name
     • Post titles and content
     • Author names
     • Engagement metrics (likes, comments)
     • URLs to posts or discussions

4. Parse & Normalize

   • The raw response is cleaned and split into individual items.
   • Ensures consistent fields across all scraped entries.

5. Deduplication

   • Duplicate posts or entries are automatically removed.

6. Data Storage

   • The final structured data is stored in a table (Google Sheets or n8n Data Table).
   • Ready for filtering, exporting, or further automation.

This workflow allows you to turn Skool communities into structured datasets without browser automation or manual copy/paste.
