Social Media Example

In this example, we’ll retrieve data from Reddit, returning results based on the defined schema. Follow the steps below to use our AI Scraper API to extract Reddit data:
  1. Use the request body below:
curl --location 'https://app.mrscraper.com/api/ai' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer API_TOKEN' \
--data '{
    "urls": [
        "https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/"
    ],
    "min": 100,
    "max": 200,
    "timeout": 180,
    "schema": {
        "type": "array",
        "description": "List of posts",
        "items": {
            "type": "object",
            "description": "post information",
            "properties": {
                "post_title": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "post title"
                },
                "post_url": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "post valid reddit.com only url"
                },
                "post_date": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "post date"
                },
                "post_username": {
                    "type": "string",
                    "description": "post username"
                }
            },
            "required": [
                "post_title",
                "post_url",
                "post_date",
                "post_username"
            ]
        },
        "required": [
            "post"
        ]
    }
}'
  1. Replace Authorization with your API token and Set the URL to the Reddit.
  2. The above request body will return the following JSON response:
{
    "result": [
        {
            "post_title": "Trump calls for prosecution of Google over search results he says favor Harris",
            "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1fqxltl/trump_calls_for_prosecution_of_google_over_search/",
            "post_date": "11 hr. ago",
            "post_username": "u/Puginator"
        },
        {
            "post_title": "Meta has been fined €91M ($101M) after it was discovered that to 600 million Facebook and Instagram passwords had been stored in plain text.",

        {

            "post_url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1fqlf1q/flaw_in_kias_web_portal_let_researchers_track/",
