FAQ

Does this require a Facebook account? No. This actor works without any login, cookies, or authentication. It only accesses publicly available event data.

Why are some events not returned? The event may be private, deleted, or restricted to logged-in users. The actor only works with public events.

Can I search for events by keyword? No. You need to provide specific event URLs or page event listing URLs. You can find event URLs by browsing Facebook in your browser and copying the URLs.

How do I get events from a Facebook page? Use the page events URL format: https://www.facebook.com/PageName/events. The actor will extract all listed events from that page.

Do I need a proxy? Usually not. Facebook event pages are publicly accessible. However, if you're running from a datacenter IP that Facebook blocks, enabling a residential proxy may help.

How many events can I scrape? There is no hard limit. The actor processes each URL sequentially with delays to avoid rate limiting.
