## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Facebook Followers Scraper

Give this Actor Facebook page links or page names and pick which list to collect: the accounts that follow the page or the accounts the page follows. Results arrive as a clean table you can download or pass on to other tools.

### What it does

Pick a **Mode**, fill in the fields listed for it and start the run. Each run collects one kind of result; fields that belong to other modes are ignored. Links must be full addresses: short links are not accepted, so open them first and copy the full address. Pick **Live** under **Freshness** to always collect fresh data.

### Modes

#### Followers

Collects the public followers of each Facebook page. Mode `profile-followers`: fill in **Page links** (up to 100 entries). For each entry, the Actor collects up to **Max results per target** profiles (100 by default, at most 10000). Each profile becomes one item in the dataset, charged as **Profile followers**.

Each profile looks like this:

```json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "type": "profile",
  "platform": "facebook",
  "id": "940318850374360963",
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/user_4a1f55d6",
  "username": "user_4a1f55d6",
  "displayName": "Example User",
  "avatarUrl": "https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/fixture/a8c3877dffe1.jpg",
  "details": null,
  "collectedAt": "2026-11-10T23:47:28Z",
  "input": {
    "url": "https://www.facebook.com/NASA",
    "maxItems": 30
  }
}
```

#### Following

Collects the accounts each Facebook page follows. Mode `profile-following`: fill in **Page links** (up to 100 entries). For each entry, the Actor collects up to **Max results per target** profiles (100 by default, at most 10000). Each profile becomes one item in the dataset, charged as **Profile following**.

Each profile looks like this:

```json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "type": "profile",
  "platform": "facebook",
  "id": "940146281910775070",
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/user_9b31acc5",
  "username": "user_9b31acc5",
  "displayName": "Example User",
  "bio": "A short example sentence for illustration.",
  "avatarUrl": "https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/fixture/8827b7295fe0.jpg",
  "verified": true,
  "followers": 22000000,
  "following": 8,
  "externalUrl": null,
  "details": null,
  "collectedAt": "2026-11-10T23:53:01Z",
  "input": {
    "url": "https://www.facebook.com/natgeo",
    "maxItems": 30
  }
}
```

### Use cases

- Audience sizing: see who follows a page and how the audience is made up.
- Competitor mapping: see which accounts a page follows.
- Community research: study the accounts around a brand or organization.
- List building: export follower names and links for analysis.

### Input

| Field | Title | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | Mode | What to collect. Each run collects one kind of result; fill in the fields listed for that mode. |
| `pageUrls` | Page links | Facebook page links, like https://www.facebook.com/NASA, or just the page name such as NASA. |
| `maxItems` | Max results per target | The most results to collect for each target. Each mode caps it at its own maximum; leave it empty for the mode default. |
| `freshness` | Freshness | Standard may return recently collected data, which is faster. Live always collects fresh data. |

Example:

```json
{
  "mode": "profile-followers",
  "pageUrls": [
    "https://www.facebook.com/NASA",
    "https://www.facebook.com/natgeo"
  ],
  "maxItems": 20,
  "freshness": "standard"
}
```

### Output

Each mode has its own table view in the dataset; the item shapes are shown under **Modes**.

Every item carries a `status` field. A target that fails gives one item with `status: "error"` and an `error` object with a `code` and a `message`. A mode that is missing a field it needs gives one such item and collects nothing.

### Pricing

You pay per result. Prices are in USD per 1,000 results and depend on your Apify plan.

| Event | Free | Bronze | Silver | Gold | Platinum | Diamond |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Profile followers | $8.960 | $7.000 | $6.000 | $5.542 | $5.542 | $5.542 |
| Profile following | $8.960 | $7.000 | $6.000 | $5.542 | $5.542 | $5.542 |

Errors and empty results are never charged, and the run stops when it reaches your spending limit.

Free plan: up to 100 results per run and 20 runs per day.

### FAQ

#### What does each mode return?

Followers gives the accounts that follow the page. Following gives the accounts the page follows. Each result carries the name, link and picture, plus counts when Facebook shows them.

#### Do I need to log in or share a Facebook account?

No. The Actor collects only public information and needs no login or cookies.

#### How many results can I collect, and what do I pay?

Set the maximum number of results per target in the input. You pay only for the results delivered, and a run stops when it reaches your spending limit. Errors and empty results are not charged.

#### Why is a list empty or shorter than expected?

Some pages hide their lists, and Facebook shows only part of a long list. You are charged only for the results delivered.

#### Is this Actor affiliated with Facebook?

No. It is an independent tool, not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Facebook or Meta. It collects only information that is shown publicly on Facebook.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
