You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Facebook Page Graph API Actor Fetches public **Facebook Page profile info** and/or **recent posts with engagement metrics** (likes, comments, shares) using Facebook's official **Graph API**. > ⚠️ This actor does **not** scrape Facebook's website. It calls the > official Graph API using a Page Access Token you provide, and only > works for Pages you own or have been granted access to. This keeps > usage compliant with Facebook's Terms of Service. ### What it does - Accepts one or more Facebook Page IDs / usernames - Fetches profile fields: `name`, `about`, `category`, `fan_count`, `followers_count`, `link`, `website` - Fetches recent posts: `message`, `created_time`, `permalink_url`, like/comment/share counts - Handles pagination up to a configurable `maxPosts` limit - Pushes structured results to the Apify dataset (exportable as JSON/CSV/Excel) ### Requirements You need: 1. A **Facebook App** registered at [developers.facebook.com](https://developers.facebook.com) 2. A **Page Access Token** with the following permissions: - `pages_read_engagement` - `pages_read_user_content` 3. Admin access to the Page(s) you want to query (or the Page must have granted your app access) Facebook access tokens expire — for long-running or scheduled actor runs, use a **long-lived Page Access Token** or set up a token refresh flow outside this actor. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `pageIds` | array | Page IDs or usernames to fetch | | `accessToken` | string (secret) | Your Page Access Token | | `fetchProfileInfo` | boolean | Fetch profile fields (default: `true`) | | `fetchPosts` | boolean | Fetch recent posts (default: `true`) | | `maxPosts` | integer | Max posts per page (default: `20`) | | `graphApiVersion` | string | Graph API version to call (default: `v19.0`) | Example input: ```json { "pageIds": ["mypage"], "accessToken": "EAAxxxxxYOURTOKENxxxxx", "fetchProfileInfo": true, "fetchPosts": true, "maxPosts": 50, "graphApiVersion": "v19.0" } ``` ### Output Each Page produces one dataset item: ```json { "page_id": "mypage", "profile": { "id": "1234567890", "name": "My Page", "about": "...", "fan_count": 10234, "followers_count": 10500 }, "posts": [ { "id": "1234567890_9876543210", "message": "Post text...", "created_time": "2026-07-20T10:00:00+0000", "permalink_url": "https://facebook.com/...", "likes_count": 120, "comments_count": 15, "shares_count": 4 } ] } ``` If a Page fails (invalid token, insufficient permissions, rate limit), the item will contain an `error` field instead. ### Notes - Rate limits are governed by Facebook's Graph API usage tiers — see the [Graph API rate limiting docs](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/overview/rate-limiting) - Token expiration and permission errors will show up as `error` entries in the dataset per-page, not as a hard actor failure ## Actor input object example ```json {} ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("bornoo/facebook-profile-posts-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Go to → https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs/quick-start ``` ## CLI example ```bash echo '{}' | apify call bornoo/facebook-profile-posts-scraper --silent --output-dataset ``` ## MCP server setup ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,bornoo/facebook-profile-posts-scraper" } } } ``` The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/KUDEPXKdnaBcvSpkv/builds/SEmbH1qWe0wl20PAc/openapi.json
