An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Facebook Page Posts Scraper ### What is Facebook Page Posts Scraper? **Facebook Page Posts Scraper** is a tool that lets you **scrape posts from public Facebook Pages**: post text, publish date, reactions by type, comment and share counts, photos, videos, shared links and shared posts, plus the Page's own details such as its exact follower count, category and website.

A post: ```json { "type": "post", "id": "1637283811100322", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/NASA/posts/pfbid02Kv6L9cDGRgwHGjeYDdT5F2F6uCZMMyfeU27DYgsxNwtrgV6kN9rPFLfnHTDzdbcVl", "text": "Welcome to the Artemis Accords, Croatia 🇭🇷\n \nToday, Croatia became the 74th nation that has committed to a peaceful and prosperous exploration of space. https://go.nasa.gov/4hiGtaF", "createdAt": "2026-09-23T22:07:21Z", "authorName": "NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration", "authorId": "100044561550831", "authorUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/NASA", "reactions": 9853, "reactionsByType": {"like": 6641, "love": 2899, "care": 239, "haha": 39, "wow": 25, "angry": 7, "sad": 3}, "comments": 385, "shares": 625, "media": [ { "type": "photo", "id": "1637283797766990", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1637283797766990&set=a.416661013162614&type=3", "imageUrl": "https://scontent-ord5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/820088514_163728380...", "videoUrl": null, "durationSeconds": null } ], "link": null, "linkTitle": null, "sharedPost": null, "groupId": null, "source": "NASA", "fetchedAt": "2026-09-25T00:54:39Z" } ``` A Page: ```json { "type": "page", "id": "100044561550831", "pageId": "54971236771", "name": "NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/NASA/", "category": "Government organization", "followers": 28729058, "intro": "Explore the universe and discover our home planet. \nThere's space for everybody.", "verified": true, "email": "public-inquiries@hq.nasa.gov", "websites": ["nasa.gov/nasa-app", "nasa.gov"], "responsibleEntity": "NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION", "source": "NASA", "fetchedAt": "2026-09-25T00:54:39Z" } ``` 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 e-mails 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](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) to run every day or every hour. 3. Send new posts to Slack, e-mail or a spreadsheet with an [integration](https://apify.com/integrations). ### Real-time Facebook posts API Need posts right away inside your app? Call the actor's API and get the posts back in the response, without starting a run: ``` GET https:///posts?page=NASA&limit=20 Authorization: Bearer ``` You can also run the actor from your own code with the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) or the Python and JavaScript clients: ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("") 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]) ``` ### ❓FAQ #### How much does it cost to scrape Facebook posts? You pay only for the results you get, per 1,000 results. See the **Pricing** tab for the current price. Every Apify account gets $5 of free usage each month, so you can try it at no cost. #### How many posts can I scrape from one Facebook Page? Hundreds to thousands. In our tests a single Page returned 1,325 posts going back three years. Set **Posts per Page** to the number you need, or use the date range. #### Can I scrape Facebook posts from a specific date range? Yes. Set **Posts published after** and **Posts published before**. Only posts from that range are returned, and you don't pay for posts outside it. #### Does it include the pinned post? No. Pinned posts are skipped so the list is strictly newest first. #### Why is the text empty on some posts? Some posts are photos or videos without a caption, or shares of another post. For shares, `sharedPost` has the original post's link, author and date. #### Do I need a Facebook account? No. You don't need a Facebook account, cookies or an API key. #### Can I scrape personal profiles or private content? No. It scrapes public Facebook Pages only. Private content is never collected, and contact details are only taken from Pages, never from personal profiles. #### Is it legal to scrape Facebook? This scraper only collects posts and details that Pages chose to publish publicly. It does not collect private data. Posts can still contain personal data, which may be protected by laws such as GDPR, so only scrape it for a legitimate reason and ask a lawyer if you are unsure. You can read more in [Is web scraping legal?](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/) Facebook Page Posts Scraper is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Facebook or Meta. #### Something isn't working. What should I do? Open the **Issues** tab and tell us the Page and what you expected. We usually reply within a day. ### Scrape more Facebook data | Actor | What it gets | |---|---| | [Facebook Comments Scraper](https://apify.com/automly/facebook-post-comments-scraper) | Comments and replies from any public post | | [Facebook Group Posts Scraper](https://apify.com/automly/facebook-public-group-posts-scraper) | Posts from public groups | | [Facebook Page Details Scraper](https://apify.com/automly/facebook-page-details-scraper) | Followers, category and contact details of many Pages | | [Facebook Ad Library Scraper](https://apify.com/automly/facebook-ad-library-scraper) | Ads from Meta's Ad Library | # Actor input Schema ## `pages` (type: `array`): Page names or links, e.g. NASA or https://www.facebook.com/NASA. ## `resultsPerPage` (type: `integer`): How many of each Page's latest posts to scrape (after the date filters).
