What you get

• Search by keyword — enter one or more topics. The actor collects posts until it reaches your limit.
• Public personal profiles — paste a username or Facebook profile URL. Facebook Pages (business/brand pages) are not supported.
• Photos and videos — image URLs and video thumbnails, including multi-photo posts.
• Engagement — likes, comments, and shares for each post.
• Optional dates — leave empty to take the latest posts, or set a range to keep only posts from those days.

Notes

• Only public posts are collected. Private profiles, closed groups, Facebook Pages, and login-walled content are not available.
• Video view counts are not included.
• If a post has 0 comments or shares, that is the public count, not a missing field.
• Very large runs (thousands of posts) can take longer. Start with 20–50 posts to confirm the results look right.

Cost

This actor is pay per result. You pay a fixed price for each post collected — not for Apify compute.

Current store price: $1.40 per 1,000 posts. A 20-post run is charged for 20 results only. Runs that return 0 posts are not charged for results.
