DCInside Scraper for Posts to CSV
This DCInside scraper exports Korean gallery posts into a clean CSV for researchers who need listing metadata, detail-page text, timestamps, and attached image URLs without building a custom crawler. The starter workflow targets the DCInside MapleStory gallery, loops through known listing URLs, enriches visible posts from their detail pages, and writes everything into dcinside-scraper.csv from the UScraper local desktop app.

Export DCInside posts without custom scripts
Turn gallery listings into a spreadsheet
Capture post number, title, URL, comment count, writer, IP marker when visible, views, recommendations, created time, body text, and image links in fixed CSV columns.
Enrich rows from detail pages
The workflow does more than scrape DCInside listing text. It opens each visible post URL in-page, waits for the async enrichment step to finish, and stores the cleaned post content beside the listing metadata.
Use a safe page list
The Navigate block includes pages 1-3 for the MapleStory gallery. Extend the URL array deliberately when you need more coverage instead of crawling DCInside's very large archive without boundaries.
Keep research files local
The browser session and DCInside to CSV output stay on your machine, which helps teams that need no-cloud collection for community monitoring, issue research, or internal analysis.

Favorable to scraping

Nuanced outcome
Preserve source URLs, visible author fields, timestamps, and body text for permission-aware internal review while keeping enough context to audit every exported row later.
How to use
Scrape DCInside to CSV in five steps
1
Download and import
Download the hosted template JSON, then import it into the UScraper desktop app.
2
Review the target URLs
The starter template opens three MapleStory gallery listing pages. Replace or extend the Navigate URL list if your project needs another public gallery or a longer page range.
3
Confirm the save folder
Structured Export writes dcinside-scraper.csv with headers and append mode enabled. Pick the folder you want before running a production batch.
4
Run with visible checks
Let the page load, wait for gallery rows, enrich each visible post, then export. The workflow currently processes up to 30 rows per listing page.
5
Open the output
Inspect the CSV in Excel, Sheets, or your analysis tool. Spot-check several source URLs before you schedule larger or recurring exports.

Frequently asked questions
Public DCInside pages may still be governed by DCInside terms, robots directives, copyright, privacy rules, and local laws. Use modest pacing, avoid bypassing access controls, preserve source URLs, and get legal advice before redistributing posts, images, or user-linked data.
Before you run
Practical limits and maintenance
Keep the scraper reliable
Pacing
Do not turn a starter page list into an unbounded crawl
Extend the Navigate URLs deliberately, keep waits in place, and test smaller batches first. DCInside has very large archives, so controlled page ranges are easier to review and maintain.
Layout drift
Selectors may need updates after DCInside redesigns
Empty exports, missing content, or broken image fields usually mean the listing table or detail page structure changed. Refresh the workflow before trusting a production run.
Compliance
Collect only what your use case requires
Review DCInside robots guidance, the service policy, and your internal data rules before using exported posts in reports, datasets, or model workflows.
