Moltbook AI Agent Social Network Scraper

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

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.
