🌟 Key Features

• 📥 1. Latest Group Posts Extraction (Fast):

  • Automatically fetches the newest/latest posts directly from the top of the group feed.
  • Post text content, post ID, and author name & ID.
  • Exact publication timestamp (formatted as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS).
  • Reaction counts (Likes, Loves, etc.), comment counts, and share counts.
  • Direct permalinks to each post.
  • Pipe-delimited media URLs (url1 | url2) for clean single-line Excel rows.
  • Zero-width space (\u200b) protection so Excel won't corrupt large Facebook IDs into scientific notation (e.g. 1.79E+15).

• 💬 2. Deep Post Comments Extraction:

  • Extracts root comments and all nested replies.
  • Captures commenter profile names, author IDs, comment timestamps, and mentions.

• 📸 3. High-Resolution Media Extraction:

  • Extracts direct full-size image & video URLs from single posts or multi-photo albums.

• 🛡️ 4. Anti-Ban Stealth & Safe Sessions:

  • Uses selenium-stealth to mask automation indicators (navigator.webdriver).
  • Injects full cookie headers (datr, sb, c_user, xs) to preserve device fingerprints and prevent Facebook from triggering security checkpoints.

💡 Best Practices & Tips

[!WARNING] DO NOT USE YOUR MAIN PERSONAL ACCOUNT! Web scraping carries inherent risks. Facebook strictly monitors automated behavior. Even with our advanced stealth technology, accounts used for scraping may face temporary checkpoints or permanent bans. Always use a secondary, dummy, or burner account dedicated specifically for data extraction to ensure your primary personal account remains safe.

• Preserve datr & sb: Always copy the full cookie string from Cookie-Editor to maintain session integrity and prevent login alerts.
