5ch threads

Returns threads and posts from 5ch, Japan's large anonymous forum. You can list the active threads on a board, filter a board's threads by a word in the title, or read every post in one thread. Useful for tracking what Japanese users are discussing and reading sentiment on a news story or topic.

What you get

• Board name
• Thread ID, title and link
• Post count per thread
• Time the thread was last active
• Individual posts when reading a thread
• Time the data was collected

What it can do

• List the active threads on a board such as newsplus or news4vip
• Keep only threads whose title contains a keyword, in Japanese or English
• Read all posts in a single thread
• Use thread links from a board listing to read the posts next

Limits

• Up to 99 results per run
• Keyword matching applies to thread titles on one board, not to post text across the whole forum
• Reading posts works one thread at a time
• Only publicly visible data

Input options

Example

Ask your AI for the data in plain words and it picks this source. Developers can also call source procli_fivech_a directly through the REST API or MCP with an input like this:

{
  "board": "newsplus",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "mode": "board-threads"
}

How to use it

1. Create an account at prolevelmax.com. New users receive $1 in sign-up credit after verifying their email (one per person). No card required.
2. Connect your AI. In the Dashboard, open Get started → Coding tools and API → Generate setup instructions and paste the instructions into your AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and others). You can also add the MCP server https://prolevelmax.com/mcp or call the REST API.
3. Request data. Your AI selects a source, quotes the price and runs it only after you confirm. Results are returned as structured JSON that the AI can format as a table or report.
