About skraper

Skraper is an open-source Kotlin/Java library and command-line tool for scraping posts, attachments and other metadata from social platforms. It covers more than 15 sources, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Telegram, Twitch, Reddit, 9GAG, Pinterest, Flickr, Tumblr, Vimeo, IFunny, Coub, VK, Odnoklassniki and Pikabu, and is described as working without authorization or full page rendering. It is built on jsoup, jackson and kotlin-coroutines, and the repository also contains a Telegram bot.

The CLI can scrape post metadata or download media only, writing results as log, CSV, JSON, XML or YAML, with configurable post limits and parallel media downloads. The project notes that source sites change without notice, so scrapers may stop working correctly, and that platforms rate-limit, captcha-wall and ban IP addresses producing suspicious traffic, making proxies relevant for heavier workloads.
