Each run also saves a short report with how many Pages and rows it covered, and any Page it could not scrape with the reason (for example, a Page that does not exist or is not public).

How can I use Facebook Page posts data?

• Competitor monitoring: see what competitors post, how often, and which posts get the most reactions
• Social media reporting: track your own Page's engagement over time without exporting by hand
• Content research: find the post formats and topics that work best in your niche
• Brand and media analysis: collect news Pages' posts for topic, sentiment or trend analysis
• Lead lists: collect Pages' categories, business emails and websites

Monitor Facebook Pages on a schedule

1. Set Posts published after to a recent date, or keep Posts per Page small.
2. Schedule the actor to run every day or every hour.
3. Send new posts to Slack, email or a spreadsheet with an integration.

Facebook posts scraper API

Need posts right away inside your app? Call the actor's real-time API and get the posts back in the response, without starting a run:

GET https://<your-actor-standby-url>/posts?page=NASA&limit=20
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>

You can also run the actor from your own code with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("automly/facebook-page-posts-scraper").call(run_input={
    "pages": ["NASA"],
    "resultsPerPage": 200,
})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    if row["type"] == "post":
        print(row["createdAt"], row["reactions"], row["text"][:80])

Use with AI agents (MCP)

This actor works as a tool for AI agents. Connect any MCP-compatible AI assistant or agent to the Apify MCP server at https://mcp.apify.com (sign in with your Apify account), and it can find this actor, fill in the input and read the results by itself. Ask in plain words, for example "Get NASA's 20 latest Facebook posts with reactions and comments counts", and the agent runs automly/facebook-page-posts-scraper with an input like {"pages": ["NASA"], "resultsPerPage": 20}. Every input and output field has a plain description, so the agent knows what to type and what each column means. Agent runs cost the same as runs you start yourself.
