Skool All-in-One API

Full read AND write access to Skool communities via Apify.

Prerequisites

• .env file with APIFY_TOKEN
• Node.js 20.6+
• mcpc CLI tool

CRITICAL: Skool Data Model

Posts and comments are the SAME object in Skool.

• To read comments: use posts:getComments — NOT comments:list
• To create a comment: use posts:createComment — NOT comments:create
• There is NO comments: namespace. Everything is posts:.

Content is PLAIN TEXT, not HTML.

• CORRECT: Hello world
• WRONG: <p>Hello world</p>

User mentions: [@Display Name](obj://user/{userId})

Workflow

Copy this checklist and track progress:

Task Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Determine action needed
- [ ] Step 2: Login (auth:login) or use existing cookies
- [ ] Step 3: Execute the action
- [ ] Step 4: Present results

Step 1: Determine Action

Select the action based on user needs:

Step 2: Authentication

Recommended flow (fast):

1. Run auth:login once to get cookies
2. Use cookies in all subsequent calls (~2s each instead of ~10s)
3. Cookies expire every ~3.5 days — re-login when you get auth errors

# Login and get cookies
export $(grep APIFY_TOKEN .env | xargs)
RESULT=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cristiantala~skool-all-in-one-api/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN&waitForFinish=120" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "action": "auth:login",
    "email": "USER_EMAIL",
    "password": "USER_PASSWORD",
    "groupSlug": "GROUP_SLUG"
  }')

RUN_ID=$(echo $RESULT | jq -r '.data.id')
COOKIES=$(curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID/dataset/items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" | jq -r '.[0].cookies')
echo "Cookies saved. Valid for ~3.5 days."

Step 3: Execute Action

With cookies (fast, ~2s):

export $(grep APIFY_TOKEN .env | xargs)
curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cristiantala~skool-all-in-one-api/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN&waitForFinish=120" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "action": "ACTION_NAME",
    "cookies": "COOKIES_FROM_LOGIN",
    "groupSlug": "GROUP_SLUG",
    "params": { PARAMS_HERE }
  }'

With email+password (slower, ~10s, uses Playwright):

export $(grep APIFY_TOKEN .env | xargs)
curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cristiantala~skool-all-in-one-api/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN&waitForFinish=120" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "action": "ACTION_NAME",
    "email": "USER_EMAIL",
    "password": "USER_PASSWORD",
    "groupSlug": "GROUP_SLUG",
    "params": { PARAMS_HERE }
  }'

Get results from dataset:

RUN_ID=$(echo $RESULT | jq -r '.data.id')
curl -s "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/$RUN_ID/dataset/items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" | jq .

Step 4: Present Results

Format results based on the action:

• posts:list — Show title, author, likes, commentCount, url
• posts:getComments — Show nested comment tree with replies
• members:pending — Show name, bio, location, application answers, source
• members:list — Show name, level, points, bio, social links

Common Workflows

Get unanswered posts from last 7 days

To find which posts the user hasn't replied to, you need their Skool user ID.

1. auth:login → save cookies
2. members:list → find the user by name/email → get their "id" field (this is the user ID, NOT memberId)
3. posts:filter with params:
   {
     "since": "2026-03-20T00:00:00Z",
     "notAnsweredBy": "USER_ID_FROM_STEP_2",
     "maxPosts": 50
   }
4. Show the filtered posts — these are posts the user has NOT replied to

How to get USER_ID: Run members:list and find the user by firstName/lastName. The id field (NOT memberId) is what you pass to notAnsweredBy.

Alternative — just get posts with 0 comments:

1. auth:login → save cookies
2. posts:list with params: { "page": 1 }
3. Filter results where commentCount === 0

Approve pending members

1. auth:login → save cookies
2. members:pending → get list with application answers
3. For each member to approve: members:approve with params: { "memberId": member.memberId }
IMPORTANT: Use member.memberId (membership ID), NOT member.id (user ID)

Reply to a post with user mention

1. auth:login → save cookies
2. posts:createComment with params:
   - content: "Great point [@Name](obj://user/{userId})! I agree with your analysis."
   - rootId: "post-id"
   - parentId: "post-id" (same as rootId for top-level comment)

Reply to a specific comment (nested)

1. posts:getComments → find the comment ID
2. posts:createComment with params:
   - content: "Thanks for sharing!"
   - rootId: "original-post-id" (ALWAYS the root post, never a comment)
   - parentId: "comment-id" (the comment you're replying to)

Important Notes

1. memberId vs id: For approve/reject/ban, use memberId field (membership ID), NOT id (user account ID). They are different.
2. Content format: Posts and comments use PLAIN TEXT. Never send HTML tags.
3. Mentions: Use [@Name](obj://user/{userId}) format. Get userId from members:list.
4. Rate limits: Skool limits writes to ~20-30/min. Reads are ~60/min.
5. Cookie expiry: Cookies last ~3.5 days. Re-login when you get 403 errors.
6. Comment nesting: rootId is ALWAYS the original post ID. parentId is the post (for top-level) or comment (for nested reply).
