🔗 Facebook Group URLs or Identifiers

startUrls

Optional

📋 Enter one or more Facebook group URLs or group identifiers to scrape directly.

💡 Examples: • Full URL: https://www.facebook.com/groups/germtheory.vs.terraintheory • Group ID: germtheory.vs.terraintheory

✨ Optional when Discovery Keywords (below) is used instead — combine both to merge explicit groups with keyword-discovered ones in a single run.

Type:array

Example:

[
  "germtheory.vs.terraintheory",
  "https://www.facebook.com/groups/germtheory.vs.terraintheory"
]

👁️ Monitoring Mode (only new posts)

monitoringMode

Optional

🔔 Track only fresh content.

When enabled, the Actor remembers which post IDs it has already seen and skips duplicates in future runs. Perfect for monitoring active groups every day without re‑processing old posts.

🗂️ Uses Apify Key‑Value Store under the hood to persist seen post IDs.

Type:boolean

Default:false

📊 Maximum Posts (total across all groups)

maxPosts

Optional

🎯 Global cap across the whole run, across BOTH explicit groups (startUrls) and keyword-discovered groups.

The cap is split across all resolved groups and results are merged, then capped at this value.

📌 Minimum: 10. 💡 Example: maxPosts: 50 with 5 resolved groups → ~10 posts per group, ≤50 total in the dataset.

Type:integer

Minimum:10

Default:10

🔄 Sort Order

sortOrder

Optional

Sorting strategy for the group feed.

Type:string

Default:RECENT_ACTIVITY

Options:

RECENT_POSTSTOP_POSTSRECENT_ACTIVITYCHRONOLOGICAL

📅 Filter Posts by Date

startDate

Optional

🗓️ Only scrape posts newer than the selected date.

📝 Format: YYYY-MM-DD (e.g., 2025-02-20)

💡 Leave empty to scrape all available posts regardless of date ✨ Useful for getting only recent content or posts from a specific time period

Type:string | null

🔎 Discovery Keywords

discoveryKeywords

Optional

📋 Enter one or more keywords/topics. Each keyword is resolved to a set of MATCHING groups, all matches across every keyword are deduped, and the merged group list is fed into the same fetch used for Facebook Group URLs above.

💡 Example: ["cheap meal ideas", "cooking recipes", "budget cooking"] → resolves each keyword to its own matching groups, then scrapes posts from every distinct group found.

✨ Leave empty to only use the group URLs/IDs from Facebook Group URLs or Identifiers above. A per-keyword discovery-coverage summary (which keyword found which groups) is saved to this run's key-value store as DISCOVERY_COVERAGE_SUMMARY.

Type:array

Example:

[
  "cheap meal ideas",
  "cooking recipes"
]

🔢 Max Groups Per Keyword

maxGroupsPerKeyword

Optional

🎯 Caps how many matching groups are kept PER keyword during discovery (only applies when Discovery Keywords is used).

💡 Example: 3 keywords × maxGroupsPerKeyword=5 → up to 15 distinct groups feed into the run (fewer if the same group surfaces for more than one keyword). Default is 5.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:20

Default:5

✅ Include Posts Containing Keywords

keywords

Optional

🔍 Only keep posts whose text contains AT LEAST ONE of these keywords (case-insensitive). Applied uniformly to every post in the run, whether its group came from Facebook Group URLs or Discovery Keywords.

💡 Example: ["recipe", "meal prep"] → only posts mentioning "recipe" or "meal prep" survive.

✨ Leave empty to keep posts regardless of content.

Type:array

Example:

[
  "recipe",
  "meal prep"
]

🚫 Exclude Posts Containing Keywords

excludeKeywords

Optional

🙅 Drop any post whose text contains ANY of these keywords (case-insensitive).

💡 Example: ["for sale", "selling"] → removes sales-pitch posts from the results.

✨ Leave empty to disable.

Type:array

Example:

[
  "for sale",
  "selling"
]

📏 Minimum Post Length (characters)

minPostLength

Optional

📐 Only keep posts whose text is at least this many characters long — filters out low-signal one-liners.

💡 Example: 40 → drops short posts like "Yes!" or "Thanks".

✨ Default is 0 (no minimum).

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Default:0

🖼️ Content Mode

contentMode

Optional

🎛️ Narrow results by content type: • All posts — no filtering by content type • Text-only — only posts that have real post text • Attachment-only — only posts that have an image/media attachment

Type:string

Default:ALL

Options:

ALLTEXT_ONLYATTACHMENT_ONLY

👤 Filter By Author ID

authorIdFilter

Optional

🎯 Only keep posts from ONE specific member — enter their numeric postAuthorId (visible in this actor's own output). Useful for tracking a single member's activity across one or more groups.

💡 Example: 100003819380079

✨ Leave empty to keep posts from every author.

Type:string

🛡️ Proxy

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Configure the proxy used to fetch group and post data. Defaults to Apify's residential proxy group when left blank, which is recommended for reliability.

Type:object
