Facebook Scraper — Pages, Posts, Reels, Comments & Marketplace

Scrape public Facebook data without logging in:

• pages, with exact follower counts and contact details;
• posts, reels (with their captions), videos and photos;
• comments and replies;
• Marketplace listings;
• public groups and events.

Put anything in one box: page names, page links, post links, reel links, Marketplace search links or listing links. The scraper works out what each one is.

What makes it different:

• You only pay for real results. You are never charged for empty results, duplicates, items your filters removed, or items a monitor already gave you. Filters and sorting are free.
• Every input gets a coverage report. It says how many items you asked for, how many you got, and exactly why it stopped.
• Reels come with their captions, plays and views. Single reel links work too.
• Date filters work on Facebook's side. A page's posts from 2019 arrive without scrolling through everything newer, so old posts cost the same as new ones.

This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Facebook or Meta. It only reads data that Facebook shows publicly to logged-out visitors.

What you can scrape

Input	Example	What you get
Page	NASA, @NASA, https://www.facebook.com/NASA, profile.php?id=…, /p/Name-100…/ and /pages/…/123…/ links	Page details: exact followers, category, bio, email, phone, websites, address, verified badge and pictures. Page posts: newest first, including reels, videos and photo posts. Page transparency (extra): creation date, ad status and confirmed owner.
Post	https://www.facebook.com/NASA/posts/pfbid…, permalink.php?story_fbid=…, /share/p/…	The post with all counts
Reel or video	https://www.facebook.com/reel/930452829785006, /watch/?v=…, /NASA/videos/…, /share/r/…, /share/v/…, fb.watch/…	Caption, reactions by type, comments, plays, views, duration and the video file link
Photo	https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=…	Caption, counts and image
Comments	Turn on Comments	Comments on every delivered post: most relevant, newest first or all, optionally with replies
Marketplace search	https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/nyc/search?query=bike&maxPrice=300, or marketplace: iphone 13 in London	Listings with price, location, date and photo. Every filter in a pasted link is kept.
Marketplace listing	https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/…	The listing with description, condition and attributes (charged as a listing plus listing details)
Public group	https://www.facebook.com/groups/…	Group name and size, plus its posts (new, top or recent activity)
Event	https://www.facebook.com/events/…	Name, time, place, description, host and response count

Pasting inputs:

• Paste them however you have them: one per line, or several on one line separated by commas.
• @, quotes and tracking parameters (?ref=…, mibextid=…) are fine.
• Mobile links (m.facebook.com) and share links (/share/p/…, /share/r/…, fb.watch/…) work too: the scraper opens them once and scrapes what they point to. A share link Facebook only opens for logged-in users is reported as NOT_AVAILABLE_LOGGED_OUT without charge.
• A marketplace: line is never split at commas, so marketplace: iphone 13, 128gb in London is one search.
• Duplicates such as NASA, @nasa and the page link are scraped once.

Marketplace locations can be written the way you would say them: London, new york, القاهرة, Dubaii (typos are fixed and noted in the run), Portland, OR, or coordinates such as 51.5072, -0.1276. Smaller places such as Mansoura are looked up on Facebook itself. A place Facebook does not know, or a name that points to a different place than the one in our list (for example London, Ontario), stops with a message asking for coordinates instead of searching the wrong city. The coverage report shows the coordinates that were searched.

What Facebook shows logged-out visitors

Facebook limits what anyone can see without an account. Here are those limits up front:

• Not available:
  • Ad Library: Facebook blocks automated logged-out access with a bot challenge, and this scraper does not get around it.
  • Facebook's own search: posts, pages, people and hashtags. Multi-word text is treated as a Marketplace search instead.
  • Private groups, friend lists, follower lists, stories and who reacted.
• Marketplace sellers are hidden. Facebook does not show the seller to logged-out visitors. Listings come without the seller.
• A page's Reels tab is hidden. Reels still come through the page's posts, which include its reels, and through reel links.
• Unavailable content looks the same whatever the cause. Deleted content and content limited by age or country show the same "This content isn't available" page, so both are reported as NOT_FOUND.
• Follower counts: exact numbers come from the page itself. When Facebook only gives a rounded number (for example "39M"), that is what you get.

When an input stops because of one of these limits, its coverage row says FACEBOOK_LOGGED_OUT_CAP or NOT_AVAILABLE_LOGGED_OUT, so you know nothing went wrong.

Monitoring mode

1. Set Monitor name (for example competitors).
2. Save the input as a task and give it a schedule (hourly, daily…).
3. Each run returns only the posts, listings and events this monitor has never delivered before.

For pages and groups, a monitor stops reading once a whole page of posts is posts it delivered in an earlier run, so frequent checks stay cheap. A pinned or out-of-order old post does not stop it early.

Page records are bought once per monitor. The first run delivers the page record (and transparency, if on). Later runs skip the page record and its download entirely and only look for new posts.

For Marketplace, a monitor always sorts by newest first. A listing it already delivered comes back once more if its price changes. The record is marked change: "price_drop" or "price_rise", with the old price in previousPrice.

Each input checked costs one monitor check event. That covers the check even when nothing new appeared. New items are charged as usual.

Output

Each record type gets its own table, so every table stays clean: Posts (the main dataset), Pages, Comments, Marketplace listings, Groups, Events and Coverage report. You can open each one from the run's Output tab or through the API. Records in a table always have the same fields; a field that is unknown comes back as null instead of disappearing.

}

Comment

Each comment has its text, date, reactions, reply count, depth (0 = comment, 1 = reply), parent and post link.

Commenter names are hidden by default for privacy: each person gets a stable anonymous authorHash instead. The same applies to the members who wrote group posts. Comments written by the page itself keep its name. Turn on Include people's names if you need them and have a lawful reason to process them.

Marketplace listing

Each listing has:

• its title, price as a number and as written ($100), and crossed-out original price;
• city and state, listing date, photo, category and delivery types;
• sold and pending flags.

With Listing details, it also gets the description, condition, attributes and category name. Each listing also records the search it came from.

Coverage report (free)

The Coverage report table has one row per input. The same rows are also saved as the COVERAGE record in the run's key-value store.

{
  "input": "https://www.facebook.com/NASA",
  "detectedType": "page",
  "requested": 50,
  "delivered": { "posts": 50, "pages": 1, "comments": 0, "listings": 0, "groups": 0, "events": 0 },
  "skipped": { "filtered": 0, "duplicate": 0, "seenBefore": 0 },
  "stopCode": "LIMIT_REACHED",
  "message": "Delivered the number of items you asked for.",
  "charged": { "page": 1, "post": 50 },
  "requests": 19
}

The possible stop codes are:

• LIMIT_REACHED: delivered what you asked for
• NO_MORE_DATA: delivered everything that exists
• FACEBOOK_LOGGED_OUT_CAP: Facebook shows no more to logged-out visitors
• NOT_AVAILABLE_LOGGED_OUT: this needs a login, for example a private group
• NOT_FOUND: deleted, wrong link, or limited by age or country
• LOGIN_REQUIRED
• BLOCKED
• LAYOUT_CHANGED
• SPENDING_LIMIT
• RUN_LIMIT
• INVALID_INPUT: the message says how to fix it
• COMPLETED: finished, for example a page with only page details asked for

The SUMMARY record has the run totals, every event charged and any input the scraper adjusted for you.

Set Maximum cost per run when you start a run, and the scraper will stop cleanly when it reaches it.

Tips

• Use residential proxies (the default). Facebook blocks many datacenter IPs.
• To reach old posts, set Posts older than (for example 2020-01-01). The page timeline jumps straight to that date.
• Date filters take a date or a relative value. Use the date picker in the form. Through the API you can send 2026-09-01, 7 days, 7d, 2 weeks ago, 3 months or yesterday. If a date cannot be read safely, for example 03/04/2026, the run stops before any request and tells you how to write it. Nothing is charged in that case.
• Filters on reactions, comments, shares or views drop items whose counts are unknown. They never guess.
• For Marketplace, paste the search link from your browser to keep every filter you set there, or use the Marketplace options in the form.
• Use Flat output and snake_case for spreadsheets and databases. recordType keeps its name in every mode.
• Use Run tag to label batches when you run the same task many times.

Legal

This scraper only collects data Facebook shows publicly to logged-out visitors. It never logs in, never uses accounts or cookies from real users, never solves challenges, and never bypasses privacy settings.

Some results, such as names in comments and group posts, can still be personal data under laws like the GDPR. That is why names are hidden by default. You are responsible for having a lawful basis to collect and use the data, and for collecting only what you need. If you are unsure, ask a lawyer.
