- 💬 Full post text
- 🔗 Direct post URL
- ❤️ Reactions, comments, shares

🏁 How to Use the Facebook Scraper
Step 1: Create an Apify account
Sign up at apify.com — free tier includes $5 in monthly credits.
Step 2: Open the actor
Go to the All-in-One Facebook Scraper on Apify Store and click Try for free.
Step 3: Configure your input
- Choose a scrape mode — select from Pages, Posts, Events, Groups, Search, Reviews, Comments, Marketplace, Reels, or Ads
- Add your targets — enter Facebook page names (e.g.,
NASA), full URLs (e.g.,https://facebook.com/cern), group URLs, or search keywords - Set limits — adjust
resultsPerPage(default: 50, max: 500) - Add login cookies (optional) — required for Groups, Search, Reviews, and Comments modes
Step 4: Run and download results
Click Start and wait for results. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect to your workflow via API.
Getting Login Cookies (for authenticated modes)
Some modes require Facebook login cookies (c_user and xs):
- Open facebook.com in Chrome and log in
- Press
F12(Windows) orCmd+Option+I(Mac) to open Developer Tools - Go to Application > Cookies >
https://www.facebook.com - Copy the values of
c_userandxs - Paste into the
loginCookiesfield as:c_user=XXXXX; xs=XXXXX
Using multiple cookie sets (recommended for high-volume runs): Enter one account's cookies per line. The scraper will rotate through them automatically if a session gets blocked, extending how long you can scrape before needing fresh cookies:
c_user=111111; xs=AAAAAc_user=222222; xs=BBBBBc_user=333333; xs=CCCCC
Cookie caching: After your first run, cookies are cached in Apify's Key-Value Store for up to 7 days. You only need to re-enter cookies when they expire. To force a refresh, paste fresh cookies — the scraper detects when
xshas changed and updates the cache automatically.
| Mode | Login Cookies Required? | Proxy Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Pages Scraper | No — cookies suppress likes/follower counts (Facebook serves feed view instead of public page) | Only for brand pages (Apple, Google, SpaceX…) |
| Posts Scraper | Recommended (enables pagination + full fields) | Only for brand pages |
| Events Scraper | No | No |
| Groups Scraper | Yes | Recommended |

📤 Output Examples
Facebook Page Result
{"resultType": "page","facebookId": "1504255381069833","pageName": "NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration","pageUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/NASA","pageTitle": "NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration","category": "Government organization","likesCount": 28644699,"followersCount": 28000000,"talkingAboutCount": 545254,"checkinsCount": null,"isVerified": true,"isBusinessPageActive": null,"about": "Explore the universe and discover our home planet. There's space for everybody. ✨","location": null,"address": null,"city": null,"confirmedOwner": "NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION","adLibraryId": "1504255381069833","profilePicUrl": "https://scontent...","coverPhotoUrl": "https://scontent...","scrapedAt": "2026-04-20T08:36:41.222Z"}
Notes: NASA has no single physical HQ shown on its page → address/city/location are null (this is correct — multi-location brands never show an address). Facebook strips isBusinessPageActive to false for all pages from public HTML, so the scraper returns null rather than a misleading false. For a single-HQ page (e.g. L.L.Bean) these location fields do populate.
Facebook Post Result
{"resultType": "post","pageName": "NASA","pageUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/NASA/","postText": "Artemis II crew members are preparing for humanity's return to the Moon...","reactionCount": 45200,"commentCount": 1830,"shareCount": 8400,"publishTime": "2026-03-25T14:30:00.000Z","feedbackId": "10158...","storyId": "S:_I54971236771:...","scrapedAt": "2026-03-27T12:00:00.000Z"}
Facebook Event Result
{"resultType": "event","eventId": "1166242531190119","eventName": "NASA Science Live: Climate Edition - Rising Heat","eventUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/events/1166242531190119/","startTimestamp": "2024-05-06T22:30:00.000Z","endTimestamp": null,"dayTimeSentence": "Fri, Jun 28, 2024","eventCreator": "NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration","isOnline": true,"eventDescription": "From soaring temperatures affecting agriculture and the ocean, to the escalating frequency and intensity of heat waves...","placeName": "Online event","placeCity": null,"usersResponded": 105,"goingCount": null,"interestedCount": null,"ticketUrl": null,"scrapedAt": "2026-04-20T08:36:44.709Z"}
Notes: Facebook merged goingCount and interestedCount into a single usersResponded field in 2026. The separate counts are now always null — use usersResponded instead. ticketUrl is null for this event because event_buy_ticket_url is now stripped from FB HTML even for ticketed events.
Facebook Group Post Result
{"resultType": "group-post","groupTitle": "Self-Taught Programmers","groupUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/groups/selftaughtprogrammers","authorName": "Jane Smith","authorId": "100012345678","postText": "Just landed my first developer job after 8 months of self-study!","reactionCount": 342,"commentCount": 89,"shareCount": 12,"publishTime": "2026-03-26T10:15:00.000Z","topComments": [{ "authorName": "Mike Chen", "commentText": "Congrats!", "likesCount": 15 }],"scrapedAt": "2026-03-27T12:00:00.000Z"}

Facebook Reel Result
{"resultType": "reel","reelId": "893935976598019","reelUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/reel/893935976598019","caption": "A huge thank you to our Nutella community...","duration": 10000,"thumbnailUrl": "https://scontent...","ownerName": "Nutella","ownerId": "100064593557699","publishTime": "2026-02-27T13:11:16.000Z","reactionCount": 6541,"commentCount": 108,"shareCount": 96,"viewsCount": null,"pageName": "nutella","pageUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/nutella","feedbackId": "ZmVlZGJhY2s6...","scrapedAt": "2026-04-20T17:15:00.000Z"}
Notes: viewsCount is always null on Reels — Facebook does not server-render view counts in reel HTML for any account (verified via Chrome DevTools, 2026-04).
Facebook Comment Result
{"resultType": "comment","authorName": "Susan Walker","commentText": "@L.L. Bean My 83-year old mother has been wearing Bean since she was a child...","likesCount": 278,"createdTime": "2026-04-10T12:08:19.000Z","commentId": "Y29tbWVudDoxMzM1NjMyNzE4NjEyNzc3XzIzNTg0NjgwMTEzMzAyMDg=","postId": "1335632718612777","pageName": "llbean","pageUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/llbean","scrapedAt": "2026-04-20T17:18:00.000Z"}
Notes: postId is decoded from the comment ID (base64 of comment:{postId}_{commentId}) — 100% reliable. likesCount populates for comments that appear in the post permalink's top-N visible comments; may be null for lower-ranked comments.
🌐 Proxy Options — Scraping Brand Pages (Apple, Google, SpaceX)
Facebook blocks Apify's datacenter IPs on high-profile brand pages. When you see "Checkpoint triggered" in the logs, your cookies are fine — the IP is the problem. Two options:
Option A — Built-in residential proxy
No proxy account needed. Just flip one switch and the actor routes through a pre-configured residential proxy. Residential proxy is included.
How to configure:
{"proxyTier": "residential"}
That's it. All modes automatically route through residential IPs.
Option B — Bring your own residential proxy
Already have a residential proxy subscription? Paste the URL into the actor:
- Get a residential proxy URL from your provider (format:
http://user:pass@proxy.host:port) - In actor input, set Proxy Tier →
Bring your own - In Proxy Configuration, select "Custom" and paste your URL
- Enable Force Proxy on All Modes →
true
{"proxyTier": "custom","proxyConfiguration": {"proxyUrls": ["http://username:password@your-proxy-host:port"]},"forceProxy": true}
When do you need proxy?
| Page type | Example | Needs proxy? |
|---|---|---|
| Normal pages | NASA, CERN, BBC Earth | ❌ No |
| Brand pages | Apple, Google, SpaceX, Amazon, Microsoft | ✅ Yes — residential |
| Authenticated modes | Groups, Search, Reviews, Comments | ✅ Recommended |
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need login cookies?
Login cookies (c_user + xs) are required for Groups, Search, Reviews, Comments, Reels, and Ads modes. They are recommended for Posts mode (enables GraphQL pagination and full reaction breakdown). Do not use cookies for Pages mode — when cookies are present, Facebook serves the authenticated feed view which omits og:description, likes count, and follower count entirely. The Events scraper works without cookies. The Marketplace scraper works without cookies but returns more results with them.
What's the difference between modes?
Each mode targets a specific type of Facebook data:
| Mode | Best for |
|---|---|
| Pages | Getting page metadata — likes, followers, category, about text |
| Posts | Extracting post content with engagement metrics |
| Events | Finding events from pages or by keyword search |
| Groups | Reading group discussions and member posts |
| Search | Discovering pages by keyword (lead generation) |
| Reviews | Collecting customer feedback and ratings |
| Comments | Analyzing post engagement and audience sentiment |
| Marketplace | Monitoring product listings and pricing |
| Reels | Extracting reel metadata, captions, duration, and engagement |
| Ads | Browsing Meta Ad Library creatives and ad details |
| All-in-One | Running multiple modes in a single run |
| Data Extractor | Same as All-in-One with cheaper per-result billing |
How many results can I get?
Up to 500 results per input (per page, group, or search query). Set the resultsPerPage parameter to control this. There is no hard cap on total results — simply add more inputs to scale. For example, 10 pages x 500 posts each = 5,000 posts in one run.
Can I use the API?
Yes. Every Apify actor has a full REST API. You can trigger runs, pass input, and fetch results programmatically:
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/get-leads~all-in-one-facebook-scraper/runs" \-X POST \-H "Content-Type: application/json" \-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \-d '{"scrapeMode": "facebook-posts-scraper","pages": ["NASA"],"resultsPerPage": 50}'
See the Apify API documentation for Python, Node.js, and other client libraries.
Is it legal to scrape Facebook?
This Facebook scraper accesses only publicly available data that anyone can view without logging in (for unauthenticated modes). Authenticated modes access data visible to logged-in users. Always ensure your use case complies with applicable laws and regulations. Apify provides the infrastructure; you are responsible for how you use the extracted data. Read more about web scraping legality.
Can I integrate with Make, Zapier, or Google Sheets?
Yes. Apify has native integrations with popular automation tools:
- Make (Integromat) — trigger scraping runs and process Facebook data in Make scenarios
- Zapier — connect Facebook data to 5,000+ apps
- Google Sheets — export results directly to a spreadsheet
- Slack — get notifications when scraping completes
- Airbyte — sync data to your warehouse
- Webhooks — send results to any HTTP endpoint in real time
Does it work with MCP (Model Context Protocol)?
Yes. This actor is fully compatible with the Apify MCP Server. Connect it to AI agents and LLM workflows so tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and custom AI assistants can trigger Facebook scraping runs, process results, and incorporate Facebook data into their responses.
Why is this scraper HTTP-only? Can it handle dynamic content?
Facebook serves most public data in server-rendered HTML and via internal GraphQL endpoints. This scraper parses both — no headless browser needed. This means:
- Faster execution — no browser startup or page rendering delays
- Lower memory — runs on 256 MB vs. 1-4 GB for browser-based scrapers
- Lower cost — no compute overhead from Playwright or Puppeteer
- Zero proxy costs — most modes don't need proxies at all
Which fields are always null and why?
Facebook doesn't expose every field in HTML. The scraper follows a strict null-honesty policy: a field is null only when FB genuinely doesn't carry the data. Ground-truth verified by inspecting FB HTML in a logged-in Chrome session.
| Field | Mode(s) | Reason |
|---|---|---|
viewsCount | Reels | Reel page HTML has zero occurrences of video_view_count / play_count / view_count — FB doesn't show view counts for reels |
goingCount, interestedCount | Events | Facebook removed the separate keys in 2026. Use the new usersResponded field (combined going + interested) |
ticketUrl | Events | Even ticketed concerts have "event_buy_ticket_url":null — FB stopped populating this key |
address, city, location | Pages, Search | Multi-location brands (Starbucks, McDonald's, Walmart…) don't have a single address on FB. Single-HQ pages (L.L.Bean, Zappos, Harley-Davidson) do populate these fields |
isBusinessPageActive | Pages | FB strips this to false for every page in public HTML. Returned as null instead of a misleading false |
checkinsCount | Pages | Only pages with physical check-in locations have this count |
likesCount on non-top comments | Comments, Posts.topComments | FB only server-renders reaction counts for the permalink's top-N visible comments |
comments, topComments | Posts | Empty when a post has zero user comments (content-dependent, not a parser issue) |
viewsCount on non-video posts | Posts | Only video posts expose a view count |
What if a mode isn't returning data?
Check the run logs for specific error messages. Common issues include:
- Login cookies expired — re-extract
c_userandxsfrom your browser and paste them into theloginCookiesfield - Checkpoint triggered (high-traffic brand pages) — pages like Apple, Google, and SpaceX require a residential proxy. Enable
proxyConfigurationwith theRESIDENTIALgroup and setforceProxy: true. The logs will show "Checkpoint triggered" to distinguish this from cookie expiry - Page doesn't exist — verify the page name or URL is correct
- Rate limiting — reduce
resultsPerPageor add delays between runs viarequestDelay - Missing input — ensure you've filled in the correct input field for your chosen mode
- Non-English like counts — if your Facebook account is set to a non-English language, the scraper automatically enforces English via a
locale=en_UScookie. If counts are still null, try switching your Facebook account language to English
