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:
- Facebook Graph API with a valid access token, or
- Meta Business Suite / Page Insights directly
Input
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
pageUrls | array of strings | Facebook Page URLs to scrape |
maxPosts | integer | Reserved for future post-scraping support (currently unused — see limitations) |
proxyConfiguration | object | Apify 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.
