Facebook Scraper — Pages, Posts, Comments & Marketplace

Four Facebook scrapers in one actor: page profiles, page posts, post comments and Marketplace listings. No login, no cookies, no browser extension — just a URL and a mode. Marketplace runs can also watch prices and tell you what is new or cheaper since your last run.

---

What you get

• Four modes, one subscription. Switch mode between page-details, page-posts, post-comments and marketplace instead of paying for four separate tools.
• No login anywhere. Every mode reads public Facebook data. You never hand over an account, a session cookie or a password, and nothing in your output depends on one.
• All seven reactions, separately. Every post and comment returns like, love, care, haha, wow, sad and angry as their own counts, plus the total — not one lumped number.
• Real view counts. viewsCount is the genuine play count on videos and Reels, and stays null on photo and text posts instead of a misleading 0.
• Comments from any post type. Text posts, photos, videos and Reels all work — Facebook serves each of them through a different internal query, and all four are handled.
• Deep pagination. Posts and comments page far past the first batch, with automatic IP rotation when Facebook throttles.
• Marketplace price monitoring. Turn on monitorMode and each run compares against the previous one, flags isNew listings and price drops, and can POST the changes to your webhookUrl.
• Fails loudly. If Facebook blocks a run, it ends as FAILED with the reason. It never finishes green with an empty dataset and leaves you guessing.

Quick start

Posts from a page:

{
  "mode": "page-posts",
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.facebook.com/nintendo" }],
  "maxItems": 50
}

Comments on a post:

{
  "mode": "post-comments",
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.facebook.com/NintendoAmerica/posts/1489262726562658" }],
  "maxCommentsPerPost": 100
}

Marketplace search with filters:

{
  "mode": "marketplace",
  "searchKeywords": "iphone 13",
  "location": "Seattle",
  "priceMax": 400,
  "condition": ["used_good", "used_like_new"],
  "sortBy": "price_asc",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Watch a search for new listings and price drops — run it on a schedule:

{
  "mode": "marketplace",
  "searchKeywords": "macbook pro",
  "location": "Chicago",
  "monitorMode": true,
  "webhookUrl": "https://your-endpoint.example.com/hook"
}

Output

Every row carries _type, mode, inputUrl and scrapedAt.

Post

{
  "_type": "post",
  "postId": "1489262726562658",
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/reel/2595533354220747/",
  "text": "Three classic games are now available to play...",
  "timestamp": "2026-09-02T01:01:17.000Z",
  "reactions": { "like": 1521, "love": 480, "care": 12, "haha": 74, "wow": 38, "sad": 3, "angry": 1, "total": 2129 },
  "commentsCount": 267,
  "sharesCount": 190,
  "viewsCount": 58357,
  "postType": "reel",
  "media": [{ "type": "thumbnail", "url": "https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/...", "thumbnail": "https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/..." }],
  "author": { "name": "Nintendo of America", "id": "100064368354094", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/NintendoAmerica", "profilePic": "https://..." },
  "topLevelUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/NintendoAmerica/posts/pfbid02..."
}

postId, url, text, timestamp, reactions{like,love,care,haha,wow,sad,angry,total}, commentsCount, sharesCount, viewsCount (videos and Reels only, else null), feedbackId, media[]{type,url,thumbnail}, ocrText (the alt text Facebook generates for images), link, textReferences[], author{}, collaborators[], topLevelUrl, postType (status/photo/video/reel).

Media entries are deduplicated — Facebook serves the same asset under several size parameters, and you get each one once. A type of photo is a picture, thumbnail is a video's cover image.

Comment

{
  "_type": "comment",
  "id": "1058329573485954",
  "text": "Where did their hair go",
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/reel/2595533354220747/?comment_id=1058329573485954",
  "timestamp": "2026-09-02T01:13:47.000Z",
  "likesCount": 1,
  "reactions": { "like": 1, "love": null, "care": null, "haha": null, "wow": null, "sad": null, "angry": null, "total": 1 },

}

id, text, url (deep-links to the comment itself), timestamp, likesCount, reactions{}, feedbackId, author{}, replyCount, depth, isReply, postUrl, postId.

  "availability": "live",
  "deliveryTypes": ["IN_PERSON", "PUBLIC_MEETUP", "SHIPPING_ONSITE"]
}

listingId (always matches the id in url), title, url, priceCurrent, priceOriginal, priceDropped, currency, description, images[], video, location{city,state,coords}, seller{name,id,profileUrl,rating,ratingCount,sellerType,joinDate}, condition, category, categoryId, listingDate, availability (live/sold/pending/off), deliveryTypes[], vehicleAttrs{make,model,year,...}, propertyAttrs{beds,baths,sqft}. With monitorMode, rows also carry isNew.

Page

{
  "_type": "page",
  "name": "Nintendo of America",
  "id": "100064368354094",
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/NintendoAmerica/",
  "category": ["Video Game"],
  "followers": 5600000,
  "likes": 5632799,
  "talkingAbout": 20364,
  "about": "Welcome to the official Nintendo of America Facebook Page...",
  "profilePic": "https://...",
  "coverPic": "https://...",
  "website": "https://www.nintendo.com/us/",
  "confirmedOwner": true,
  "confirmedOwnerName": "NINTENDO OF AMERICA, INC."
}

Plus email, phone, address, coordinates, rating, ratingCount, hours, priceRange, messenger, verified, info[], relatedPages[] — see the note below on which pages expose these. Outbound links such as website are unwrapped from Facebook's redirect, so you get the real destination.

Pricing

You pay per result, by what the result is. Nothing else — no monthly fee, no charge for runs that return nothing.

Result	Price per 1,000
Post	$15
Marketplace listing	$20
Page profile	$15
Comment	$10

What that means in practice:

• 500 posts from a competitor's page — $7.50
• 1,000 comments under a viral post — $10
• 200 Marketplace listings with full details — $4
• A daily price monitor on 50 listings, run 4× a day — $120/month

Marketplace costs more per row because each listing is opened individually for its description, condition, coordinates, delivery options and price history — a search card alone would tell you far less.

---

Use cases

• Competitor tracking — run page-posts on a schedule and watch what a rival publishes, how much engagement each post earns, and which formats get views.
• Deal hunting and reselling — marketplace with monitorMode alerts you the moment a matching listing appears or drops in price. Built for flippers, car and property hunters.
• Audience research — pull post-comments with full reaction breakdowns to read sentiment on a campaign or announcement.
• Lead lists — collect page-details for local businesses: category, contact details where public, rating and page owner.
• Price intelligence — track the going rate for a product across a metro area, with priceOriginal showing what sellers first asked.

---

Good to know

Everything below is how Facebook itself behaves for public visitors, not a gap in the scraper:

• Seller identity on Marketplace appears intermittently. Facebook includes seller.name, rating and join date on some responses and omits them on others — the same listing can return a seller on one run and not the next. When it is served, you get it.
• Vehicle listings expose year, make and model; mileage, transmission and fuel are not published on public listing pages, so they stay null rather than being guessed. Facebook also serves no category name for vehicles, only categoryId.
• Page contact fields (email, phone, rating, hours) are published mainly by local business pages. Large brand pages return null — they simply do not list them. followers, category, likes, about, website and pictures come through for any page that shows them.
• verified is null unless Facebook states it. The blue-badge flag is not published to logged-out visitors for every page, and an unknown badge is reported as null rather than guessed as false.
• Video files themselves are not published to logged-out visitors. For Reels and videos you get the cover image (type: "thumbnail"), the real view count, and every engagement metric — but not the .mp4.
• Comments are collected at the top level, each with a replyCount. Facebook throttles very deep comment pagination at roughly 2–3k per post.
• Marketplace radius is not a public filter — Facebook returns the whole metro area for a city regardless of any distance setting, so the actor does not pretend to offer one. Price, condition, sort order and "listed within N days" all work.

FAQ

Do I need a Facebook account, cookies or a token? No. Every mode reads public data, and there is no field to put an account into.

How do I target a page? Any of startUrls (full or vanity URLs), names (nintendo), or entityIds (numeric ids). Tracking parameters are stripped automatically.

Can it watch prices for me? Yes — set monitorMode: true on a marketplace run and schedule it. Each run compares against the previous one, marks isNew listings, sets priceDropped with the old price in priceOriginal, and POSTs the changes to webhookUrl if you provide one.

Does it return all reaction types? Yes, all seven separately plus the total, for both posts and comments.

Comments on a Reel or a video — do those work? Yes. Facebook serves those posts through different internal queries than text posts, and all of them are handled.

Why did my run fail instead of returning an empty dataset? Because Facebook blocked it, and you should know that rather than receive a silent empty result. The status message says what happened. Blocks are usually momentary — rerunning generally works.

Do I need to configure a proxy? No. Proxies are included and configured automatically.

Support & feedback

Something not working? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab. Include the run ID and the input you used — that is usually enough to reproduce and fix it. Facebook changes its internals regularly, and issues are how those changes get spotted quickly.

Missing a field or a filter? Issues are the right place for that too. Several fields in this actor exist because users asked for them.

If this actor saved you time, a review on the Store page would mean a lot. Reviews are what keep a small independent actor visible next to the big ones.
