Facebook Public Page Scraper

Extract publicly available metadata (title, description, image) from Facebook Page URLs. Built on the Apify Python "empty starter" template.

⚠️ Important scope note

This actor only scrapes publicly exposed Open Graph metadata from Facebook Page URLs (the same data a link preview would show). It does not:

  • Scrape followers or following lists
  • Log in to Facebook or use any account credentials
  • Bypass authentication, JavaScript-rendering walls, or rate limits
  • Access private/friends-only content

Facebook's Terms of Service prohibit automated scraping of user data (including followers/following), and that data is not accessible without an authenticated session. Building a scraper to bypass those protections is out of scope for this project.

If you need followers/following-style data for legitimate purposes (e.g. your own Page's audience insights), use:

Input

FieldTypeDescription
pageUrlsarray of stringsFacebook Page URLs to scrape
maxPostsintegerReserved for future post-scraping support (currently unused — see limitations)
proxyConfigurationobjectApify Proxy config (recommended to reduce blocking)

Example input:

{
"pageUrls": ["https://www.facebook.com/nasa"],
"maxPosts": 10,
"proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }
}

Output

Each Page produces one dataset item:

{
"pageUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/nasa",
"status": 200,
"title": "NASA",
"description": "official page description...",
"image": "https://...jpg",
"note": "Only public Open Graph metadata was extracted."
}

View results in the Dataset tab after a run, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Limitations

  • Facebook renders most page/post content client-side via JavaScript and gates it behind login — a plain HTTP request (as this actor uses) only reliably retrieves Open Graph meta tags, not full timeline/post content.
  • For richer, reliable, ToS-compliant data, use the official Graph API.
