Frequently asked questions

No. Scrappa is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by VK. The VK API returns structured JSON from public VK data through a Scrappa API key.

Every Scrappa account includes 500 free credits each month. After that, each request costs one credit, which works out to $0.20 to $0.30 per 1,000 requests depending on the credit pack or plan. Failed requests are never charged.

Use the zero-based offset parameter with count up to 100. The response returns the total count and has_more is true while more posts exist. A valid empty wall is a successful response.

The post_id is the full owner_id_post_id string. For example, -22822305_1729592 is a post in the VK community (group ID 22822305). The negative owner_id indicates a community.
