💡 Why use this scraper?

Facebook removed public API access to Page data in 2018/2019 (Graph API v3.0+). The only way to get Page data programmatically is through scraping. This tool:

• ✅ Requires no Facebook account — works with public pages
• ✅ Uses residential proxy — gets past Facebook's IP-based blocks
• ✅ Extracts accurate follower counts directly from page rendering
• ✅ Handles 100+ pages per run efficiently
• ✅ Returns clean, structured JSON — no post-processing needed

💰 How much does it cost to scrape Facebook pages?

This actor uses Pay Per Event (PPE) pricing — you pay only for data you extract.

Event	FREE tier	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD	PLATINUM	DIAMOND
Run start	$0.01	$0.0095	$0.0085	$0.0075	$0.006	$0.005
Per page scraped	$0.15	$0.135	$0.125	$0.12	$0.115	$0.11

Why is Facebook scraping expensive? Facebook requires residential proxies (~$8/GB) to bypass IP blocks, and their JS-heavy pages send ~5–10MB of traffic per page through the proxy. This is the industry-standard cost for any Facebook scraper — the price reflects real infrastructure costs, not arbitrary markup.

Example costs:

• 10 pages → ~$1.51 (start fee + 10 × $0.15)
• 100 pages → ~$15.01
• 500 pages → ~$75.01

🤖 MCP (Model Context Protocol)

Use this actor with AI assistants like Claude for natural language page scraping:

Claude Code (terminal)

$claude mcp add --transport http apify https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/facebook-pages-scraper

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code

Add to your MCP server config:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": ["-y", "@apify/mcp-server"],
            "env": {
                "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_TOKEN"
            }
        }
    }
}

Then ask Claude:

• "Scrape the Facebook page for Coca-Cola and give me their follower count and website"
• "Get contact info from these 5 Facebook pages: [list URLs]"
• "Which of these brands has the most Facebook followers?"

Or use the actor-specific MCP URL:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/facebook-pages-scraper

⚖️ Is scraping Facebook Pages legal?

This actor only accesses publicly available data from Facebook Pages — the same data anyone can view without logging in. We do not:

• Access private profiles or locked content
• Use login credentials
• Scrape personal user data or friend lists
• Violate Facebook's data protection rules for private data

Public business pages are designed to be seen. Scraping their public-facing information (name, contact details, follower counts) is lawful in most jurisdictions, though you should verify local laws apply to your use case. See our terms of service and consult legal counsel for commercial applications.

❓ FAQ

Why are some fields null?

Facebook uses JavaScript rendering for much of its content. Some data — especially category, phone, and email — only appears after the page fully renders. The scraper waits for rendering to complete, but for large brand pages these fields may not be publicly listed.

Why is the follower count rounded (e.g., 34,000,000 instead of 34,339,332)?

Facebook shows large counts abbreviated (e.g., "34M followers") on some page views, which we display as-is. The likes field typically shows the precise count from meta tags.

Can I scrape private Facebook pages?

No. This actor only works with public pages — those visible without a Facebook account.

Why does the scraper use residential proxy?

Facebook blocks datacenter IP ranges with a 302 redirect. Residential proxies bypass this at a modest cost.

I got "Facebook" as the page name for some URLs

This happens when the URL doesn't correspond to an actual public page, causing Facebook to redirect to its homepage. Check that your URLs are valid and the pages are public.

How many pages can I scrape per run?

There's no hard limit, but for cost and reliability we recommend runs of 50-200 pages. Use the maxPages setting to control batch size.
