Facebook Group Member Scraper

Scrape member lists from public Facebook groups. By default runs without proxy; if Facebook blocks the request, the actor automatically falls back to datacenter proxy, then residential proxy (with retries).

Why use this actor?

• Bulk URLs – Process multiple group URLs in one run.
• Structured output – Same shape as the reference output: summary + groups (by URL) with member details.
• Proxy fallback – No proxy → datacenter → residential, with clear logs.
• Live saving – Members are pushed to the dataset as they are scraped.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
startUrls	array	Yes	Facebook group URLs (e.g. https://www.facebook.com/groups/123456789/). Supports bulk.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	Proxy settings. Default: no proxy; actor will fallback if blocked.
maxItems	integer	No	Max members per group (default: 20).
cUserCookie	string	No	Your Facebook c_user session cookie (for logged-in requests).
xsCookie	string	No	Your Facebook xs session cookie (for logged-in requests).

Example:

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.facebook.com/groups/160966147908264/" }],
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false },
  "maxItems": 20,
  "cUserCookie": "100010583742714",
  "xsCookie": "24%3A..."
}

Output

Dataset contains:

1. One item per scraped member (for live view).
2. A final item with the full result:

{
  "summary": {
    "totalGroups": 2,
    "totalMembers": 40,
    "maxItems": 20
  },
  "groups": {
    "https://www.facebook.com/groups/123/": {
      "groupUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/groups/123/",
      "groupId": "123",
      "memberCount": 20,
      "members": [
        {
          "groupUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/groups/123/",
          "member": {
            "id": "...",
            "name": "...",
            "profileUrl": "...",
            "url": "...",
            "isVerified": false,
            "profilePicture": "...",
            "bio_text": "...",
            "join_status": "...",
            "friendship_status": "...",
            "group_id": "123",
            "overflow_uri": "...",
            "groupInfo": { "membershipId": null, "contributionScore": 0, "totalSignals": 0 }
          },
          "scrapedAt": "2026-02-08T12:00:00+00:00"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

How to use (Apify Console)

1. Open Apify Console → Actors.
2. Select facebook-group-member-scraper.
3. Set startUrls (one or more Facebook group URLs).
4. Optionally set proxyConfiguration, maxItems, facebookCookies.
5. Run the actor.
6. Check logs and the OUTPUT tab; export to JSON/CSV as needed.

Cautions

• Data is from publicly available group pages only.
• You are responsible for compliance with applicable laws (privacy, spam, etc.).
• 400 Bad Request: Facebook’s group members page usually requires a logged-in session. If you see 400, add your c_user and xs cookies from your browser (while logged into Facebook) in the actor input.
