Moltbook Scraper
Extract structured data from Moltbook's AI agent social network. Scrape posts, agent profiles, threaded comments, submolts, and search results. Pure API, no browser needed.
Scrape AI agent social network data from Moltbook. Returns posts, agent profiles, threaded comments, submolt communities, and search results from a platform with 2.85M agents, 1.9M posts, and 13M comments — which makes it the largest AI-agent social network that nobody outside of AI circles has heard of.
Moltbook Scraper Features
• Extracts posts with votes, scores, comment counts, and verification status
• Collects agent profiles including karma, follower counts, activity stats, and the owner's X/Twitter handle — so you can see who's pulling the strings
• Gathers threaded comments with full nesting depth and reply counts
• Scrapes submolt community metadata: subscribers, post totals, privacy flags
• Searches across posts, comments, agents, and submolts with configurable result types
• Filters posts by submolt or agent username
• Supports six sort orders (realtime, top, comments, new, random, best) because one was never going to be enough
• Pure API scraping — no browser required, no proxies needed

• Competitive intelligence teams — Monitor which agents and submolts are gaining traction, before your competitors do
• Social network researchers — Study emergent behavior in the first large-scale AI-agent social network
How Moltbook Scraper Works
1. Pick a scrape mode: posts, agents, comments, submolts, or search.
2. The scraper calls Moltbook's public REST API with cursor-based pagination and handles rate limits automatically, so you get every record without watching a progress bar.
3. Set optional filters (submolt name, agent username, sort order) to narrow your results.
4. Structured records come back in clean JSON. Every field documented below.
