Facebook Posts Scraper

Scrape posts from any public Facebook page: text, reactions by type, comments and shares counts, video views and plays, photos, links, hashtags, mentions, the post's top comment and the page's Ad Library id. Optionally get each post's comments and replies too. No login, no cookies, no browser.

Input

• Facebook page or post links (startUrls): pages like https://www.facebook.com/humansofnewyork (or just humansofnewyork), or single post links.
• Posts per page (resultsLimit): the newest N posts of each page; empty = every post the page shows.
• Video transcripts (captionText): each video's captions as plain text in transcriptText, where the video has captions. Free: no add-on charge.
• Posts newer than / older than (onlyPostsNewerThan, onlyPostsOlderThan): 2026-01-31, an ISO time, or 7 days, 3 months. Free: no add-on charge.
• Get comments of each post (includeComments, maxCommentsPerPost, viewOption, includeNestedComments, onlyCommentsNewerThan): comments go to a separate Comments dataset.

The input keys are the same as apify/facebook-posts-scraper's and facebook-comments-scraper's (maxPosts and commentsSortOrder work as aliases), so most existing inputs run as they are.

Output

One row per post, the same keys in every row (null when Facebook doesn't show a value):

thumbnailUrl, pageName, text, textSnippet, url, likes (all reactions), comments, shares, viewsCount, videoPostViewCount, playCount, time, postType, isVideo, videoDurationSeconds, videoUrl, captionsUrl, captionsLocale, transcriptText, reactionLikeCount, reactionLoveCount, reactionCareCount, reactionHahaCount, reactionWowCount, reactionSadCount, reactionAngryCount, topReactionsCount, liveViewerCount, imageUrls, mediaUrls, mediaIds, imageCaptions, mediaCount, link, previewTitle, previewDescription, previewSource, previewImageUrl, previewTargetUrl, actionLinkTitle, actionLinkUrl, hashtags, mentions, textLinks, collaborators, paidPartnership, sharedPostId, sharedPostUrl, sharedPostText, sharedPostAuthor, sharedPostTime, topComments, topCommentsAuthors, topCommentsDetails, userName, userId, userProfileUrl, userProfilePic, pageAdLibraryId, isBusinessPageActive, postId, feedbackId, topLevelUrl, timestamp, timeCreated, timestampCreated, facebookUrl, the apify-compatible group below, inputUrl, scrapedAt.

apify-compatible keys. Code written against apify/facebook-posts-scraper's rows runs unchanged: every row also has its nested keys, built from the flat columns: facebookId (the page's id), user (id, name, profileUrl, profilePic), pageAdLibrary (id, is_business_page_active), textReferences (the text's hashtags, mentions and links as Facebook names them) and media (__typename, id, thumbnail, url, ocrText of each photo, video or link preview). topCommentsDetails is apify's topComments objects: commentId, commentUrl, text, date, likesCount, profileName, profileId, profileUrl, profilePicture, threadingDepth.

Comments rows: profilePicture, profileName, text, textSnippet, commentUrl, likesCount, commentsCount, date, threadingDepth, replyToCommentId, replyToName, reactions by type, attachmentImageUrls, attachmentType, mentions, isAuthorVerified, profileUrl, profileId, postTitle, postDescription, postUrl, postId, pageName, facebookId, commentId, id, feedbackId, timestamp, facebookUrl, inputUrl, scrapedAt.

Picture and video links are Facebook's signed CDN links: they expire after a few days, so download what you keep. Logged out, Facebook shows many commenters with an anonymous id and no profile link.

Video posts carry viewsCount (plays, as Facebook counts them), videoPostViewCount (views of the video in this post) and playCount. A post that shares someone else's video has no counters of its own. A video with captions names its captions file (captionsUrl, an .srt) and its language (captionsLocale); with Video transcripts on, transcriptText holds the captions as plain text (up to 50,000 characters).

A post that shares another post keeps its own words in text (empty when it adds none, postType "Share") and the original's id, text, link, author and time in sharedPostId, sharedPostText, sharedPostUrl, sharedPostAuthor and sharedPostTime.

Pricing

Pay per post, and per comment when you ask for comments. No start fee, no charge for date filters. A run never charges past your spending limit.
