## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Facebook Pages Scraper

Get the public profile of **any Facebook Page** — name, like & follower counts, category, tagline, profile image, website, and Page ID — from just a username or URL. **No login, no cookies, no tokens.** Give it a list of Pages, get back one clean JSON record each.

**💵 Pricing: $3.00 per 1,000 results** (pay-per-result — one result = one Page). You only pay for Pages that return data.

Great for lead lists, competitor and brand monitoring, influencer/partner research, and enriching a set of Pages you already have.

### What you get

- **Public Page info** — name, category, like count, "talking about this", follower count, tagline/intro, profile picture, and (for many business Pages) an external website link.
- **Batch input** — pass many Pages in one run; each becomes its own record.
- **Accepts usernames *or* full URLs** — `NASA` or `https://www.facebook.com/NASA` both work.
- **No login** — reads only what a logged-out visitor sees. Nothing private.
- **Predictable, flat JSON** — the same keys on every record, easy for scripts and AI agents to parse.

> **Scope:** this returns a Page's **public profile info**, not its post feed. (One record per Page, not a stream of posts.)

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `pages` | array of strings | ✅ yes | Facebook Page usernames or full URLs, e.g. `"NASA"` or `"https://www.facebook.com/NBA"`. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "pages": ["NASA", "NBA", "https://www.facebook.com/cocacola"]
}
````

### Output

One record per Page:

```json
{
  "input": "NASA",
  "page_id": "54971236771",
  "name": "NASA",
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/NASA",
  "category": "Science, Technology & Engineering",
  "likes": 21900000,
  "talking_about": 61000,
  "were_here": null,
  "intro": "Explore the universe and discover our home planet.",
  "profile_image": "https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/....jpg",
  "website": "http://www.nasa.gov/",
  "followers": 23400000
}
```

#### Fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `input` | string | The username/URL you supplied, echoed back so you can match rows to your list. |
| `page_id` | string | Facebook's numeric Page ID. |
| `name` | string | Page display name. |
| `url` | string | Canonical `facebook.com` Page URL. |
| `category` | string | Page category (e.g. "Government organization"). Best-effort. |
| `likes` | integer | Page like count. |
| `talking_about` | integer | "Talking about this" count. |
| `were_here` | integer | "Were here" count (for places/locations); often `null`. |
| `intro` | string | Page tagline / short intro. Best-effort. |
| `profile_image` | string | Profile-picture image URL. |
| `website` | string | External website. Best-effort — present for many business Pages, `null` otherwise. |
| `followers` | integer | Follower count. Best-effort. |
| `error` | string | Present **instead** of the fields above when a Page can't be read (private, doesn't exist, or region-restricted). |

### How to run

**Apify Console** — paste your Pages into the `pages` field and click **Start**.

**API** (replace `YOUR_TOKEN`):

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/good-apis~facebook-pages-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"pages": ["NASA", "NBA"]}'
```

**Python** (`apify-client`):

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("good-apis/facebook-pages-scraper").call(
    run_input={"pages": ["NASA", "NBA"]}
)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["name"], item["likes"])
```

**Node.js** (`apify-client`):

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('good-apis/facebook-pages-scraper').call({
    pages: ['NASA', 'NBA'],
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

### FAQ

**Do I need a Facebook login, password, or cookies?**
No. The scraper reads only public Page information — the same thing you'd see without logging in.

**Is this public data?**
Yes. It returns a Page's publicly visible profile (name, category, like/follower counts, contact info). It does not access anything private or login-gated.

**Does it scrape posts, comments, or reviews?**
No — this actor returns **page-level profile info**, not the post feed. Use it to profile or enrich a list of Pages.

**Why are `website`, `followers`, or `category` sometimes empty?**
Those are best-effort fields that Facebook only exposes on some Pages (mostly business Pages). When a Page doesn't publish them, the field is `null`.

**What happens if a Page is private or doesn't exist?**
That record comes back with an `error` field describing why, instead of the profile fields — so a bad entry never silently disappears from your results.

**Can I pass usernames and full URLs together?**
Yes. `"NASA"` and `"https://www.facebook.com/NASA"` are both accepted, in any mix.

**How am I billed?**
Pay-per-result: **$3.00 per 1,000 results**, one result per Page returned. No monthly fee.
