Facebook Groups Scraper: Members, Privacy & Last Post Date

Facebook Groups Scraper - Find public Facebook groups for any topic and see which ones are big, open and still alive - no login, no cookies.

What does Facebook Groups Scraper do?

Every group comes with its last post date, posts in the last 7 days, the member change since your last run and the website it published itself, so you can drop dead groups and filter by size before you join or post.

• Search public Facebook groups by topic, or paste group links you already know
• Members as a number, public/private, description, locations and membership-question flag; never a member's name
• Last post date and posts in the last 7 days - spot dead groups before you join
• Website the group published in its description (e-mail too if you switch it on), labelled by contactSource
• Min/max member filter, member change since your last run, and an only-new-or-changed mode for schedules

Who uses Facebook Groups Scraper, and for what

• Marketers - list the biggest active groups in a niche before posting
• Community managers - track member growth of competitor groups each week
• Researchers - export a list of public groups on a topic to CSV
• Local businesses - find groups in their city that still have recent posts

Why this Facebook Groups Scraper?

Low tools break when Facebook changes its page, return only a text member count, and leave issues unanswered for weeks. This Facebook Groups Scraper checks every run and tells you plainly when a page could not be read, instead of returning empty or wrong rows.

FAQ

Does Facebook Groups Scraper need a login, cookies or an API key? No. It reads public pages only.

Can I run Facebook Groups Scraper on a schedule? Yes - with Apify Schedules; each run returns fresh rows.

Can I call it from Python, JavaScript or an AI agent? Yes - through the Apify API, the Apify client libraries or the Apify MCP server.

Is it legal? It collects only data anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for using it within the source site's terms and data protection law (GDPR, CCPA).

Where do the contacts come from? Only from what the business or group published about itself on its public page - never guessed, never looked up elsewhere. contactSource says which: business_field (the platform's own contact field) or bio_text (written in the description; only when you switch on includeBioContacts). You decide whether and how you may contact them under GDPR, CCPA and anti-spam law.

What if the site blocks a request? The run retries from a fresh connection and, if it still cannot read the page, stops with a clear message - never with made-up rows.

Do I need proxies? No setup needed - Facebook Groups Scraper uses Apify Proxy by default where the site needs it.

Troubleshooting

• No results: check the input (a public URL or a search term that returns results in a normal browser), then try the example input once.
• Fewer results than expected: raise the maximum in the input; some sites show only a part of their data without logging in, and Facebook Groups Scraper never logs in.
• The run stopped with a message: the message says what the site answered; run it again later or with fewer items.
