Facebook Search Videos Scraper

Search for Facebook videos by keyword. Supports date filtering and sorting.

Features

• Real-time Facebook data — results are fetched live at run time, never cached or stale
• No login, cookies, or proxy configuration needed — just provide the input and run
• Each result is pushed as a separate dataset item, exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel
• Fast: a typical run finishes in seconds

Pricing

This Actor is billed per page of results — $0.008 per page.

• Results come in pages. Use the pages input to choose how many pages to fetch (1–10); more pages means more results.
• You pay $0.008 for each page you fetch, so pages: 3 costs $0.024 and pages: 1 costs $0.008.
• You’re only charged when a run succeeds. Failed runs are free.
