HardwareZone API: Getting Singapore Forum Data From EDMW and Other HWZ Boards

HardwareZone's forums — EDMW above all — are where Singapore argues in public, and the site offers no public API for them. The front page of a busy board turns over within minutes, so a once-a-day look misses most of what was said.

hardwarezone-scraper pulls board listings, full threads and replies from the public forum pages. The guide below covers how to monitor a board without gaps; the table shows what the actor returns and costs.

FAQ

Does HardwareZone have an API?

Not a public one for its forums. To get thread and reply data you read the public pages, which is what hardwarezone-scraper does.

How often should I scrape EDMW?

Often enough to keep up with the front page. On 10 September 2026 every non-pinned thread on page one had a reply in the previous 6.4 minutes, so one daily look at page one misses most activity.
