Mastodon Scraper 🐘 — public & local timelines, hashtags and status threads from any instance

Mastodon Scraper reads public data from any Mastodon instance's API directly — fast, reliable, no account. Because Mastodon is federated, you point it at an instance (e.g. mstdn.social, mastodon.world, fosstodon.org) and it scrapes that instance's public view. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or an API.

Modes

  • Public (federated) timeline — everything the instance sees across the fediverse.
  • Local timeline — posts from that instance's own members.
  • Hashtag timeline — posts tagged with a hashtag.
  • Status + replies — one post (from its URL) and, optionally, its reply thread.
{ "mode": "hashtag", "instance": "mstdn.social", "hashtag": "art", "maxItems": 200 }
{ "mode": "public-timeline", "instance": "fosstodon.org" }

Each row is a status: author_handle, content (HTML stripped to clean text), created_at, favourites_count, reblogs_count, replies_count, tags, media_urls, language, and boost/ reply metadata.

📌 Good to know

  • No account, no sign-in — Mastodon serves public timelines and statuses unauthenticated.
  • Pick your instance. mastodon.social restricts its public timeline since v4.3 — use a permissive instance (mstdn.social, mastodon.world, …) for timeline modes. Hashtag mode works broadly.

💰 Pricing — pay per result

$5.00 per 1,000 rows (statuses). Platform usage (compute + proxy) billed separately.
