Facebook Post Scraper - Reactions, Comments & Shares

Scrape public Facebook posts, reels and videos by URL without logging in, without API keys and without cookies. Paste post URLs and get one row per post with text, date, author, reactions (total and by type: like, love, wow, haha, care, sad, angry), comments, shares, video views, every photo, video and link, the original post when it is a share, and the top comments with author, date, likes and replies. Schedule it and each row carries the growth of reactions, comments and shares since the previous run: campaign reporting, competitor benchmarks, viral-post alerts and community research at $0.003 per post.

The Actor reads exactly what Facebook shows to a logged-out visitor on the post page.

What you get

Post: id, url, text, hashtags, createdAt, authorName, authorId, authorUrl, authorPicture.

Engagement: reactions, reactionsText (as displayed, e.g. 210K), reactionsByType, comments, commentsTotal, shares, videoViews.

Media: media (every photo, video or link with type, url, image, videoUrl, durationMs, caption, title, description, source), images, videoUrl, sharedPost (id, url, text and author of the original post when this one shares it).

Limits and notes

• Only public posts: pages, public groups and public profiles. Private posts, photo pages (photo.php) and anything Facebook hides behind login come back as an error row (free).
• Facebook shows visitors the most relevant comments (about 10). For one row per comment use the Facebook Comments Scraper.
• Reaction and share counts are exact; the reactionsText field keeps Facebook's abbreviated display.
• The Actor never bypasses logins, CAPTCHAs or rate limits.
