📘 Facebook Posts Scraper

A robust and scalable automation tool designed to extract data from Facebook's public interface. This actor specializes in gathering post content, engagement metrics, and metadata without getting blocked, thanks to its native integration with Residential Proxies.

Unlike standard scrapers, this tool is built to handle Facebook's complex structure. Whether you are conducting market research, monitoring competitors, or analyzing social trends, this scraper provides the clean data you need.

Key Highlights:

  • Anti-Detection: Built-in headers and residential proxy rotation.
  • Granular Engagement: Tracks not just likes, but comments and shares.
  • Reels & Posts Support: Works with various Facebook content types.
  • Developer Friendly: Easy to integrate with webhooks and other Apify actors.
