⚙️ How It Works

The Facebook Posts Scraper accepts one or more Facebook Page URLs as input. It configures a residential proxy connection, extracts the Page handle from the URL, then retrieves posts from the Page. For each post found, it extracts the post ID, direct URL, text content, and engagement metrics (likes, comments, shares). Results are pushed to the Apify Dataset in batch, and a completion summary is logged with statistics.

Key Processing Steps:

Input Parsing – Accept Facebook Page URL(s)
Proxy Setup – Configure Apify residential proxy
Page Handle Extraction – Identify Page name from URL
Post Discovery – Locate posts on the target Page
Post ID Extraction – Capture unique identifier per post
Text Extraction – Capture post text content
Engagement Extraction – Capture likes, comments, shares
URL Construction – Build direct link to each post
Timestamp Tagging – Record scrape time
Dataset Push – Push extracted posts in batch
Summary Logging – Report statistics

Key Benefits:

Monitor Facebook Posts activity on Pages of interest
Track competitor content and posting frequency
Measure engagement trends over time
Build datasets for social listening or NLP projects
Automate reporting on Page performance
