Facebook Metrics

When includeFacebookMetrics is enabled, the scraper fetches combined metrics from both Instagram and Facebook for content that was cross-posted. This uses a deeper scraping method that takes longer but provides total engagement across both platforms.

Use Cases

  • Content Analysis - Track post performance metrics
  • Competitor Research - Monitor competitor content engagement
  • Influencer Vetting - Verify engagement rates and content quality
  • Cross-Platform Analytics - Get combined Instagram + Facebook metrics
  • Portfolio Building - Collect content data for reporting

Cost Estimation

This scraper is optimized for efficiency. Scraping 100 posts typically costs less than $0.10 in platform usage.
