Find Facebook groups for a topic or city and get the facts you need to pick the right ones: member count, public/private, description and numeric group id — without a Facebook login. One flat row per group. For community managers, marketers building outreach lists, researchers and lead-gen teams.

How it works

  1. Discovery: your keywords are searched in a public search-engine index restricted to facebook.com/groups, so you get groups Facebook itself has published to the open web. Post links collapse into their group.
  2. Enrichment (fetchDetails): each group's public page is opened as a logged-out visitor to read memberCount, privacy, description, groupId. Private groups show a login wall and are returned with privacy: private and no details.

What you get

id/slug, url, groupId, name, memberCount, memberCountText, privacy (public/private/unknown), visibility (Facebook raw), description, detailsFetched, query, rank, source, scrapedAt.

Input

  • queries: keywords; resultsPerQuery search hits are scanned per query.
  • groupUrls: known groups to enrich directly.
  • maxItems; mode: monitor on a saved Task returns only new groups or groups whose member count / privacy changed.

Charged only for groups actually pushed. Residential proxy traffic is billed by Apify on top (group pages hit a login wall from datacenter IPs).

Limits

  • Facebook's own group search needs a login and is not used; discovery depends on the search-engine index, which favours groups with public activity. Very small or freshly created groups may be missing.
  • Private groups: name only, no member count.
  • No posts, members or admin lists — only group-level facts.

Changelog

  • 0.1: initial release — keyword discovery, group enrichment, monitor mode.
