FAQ

• Q: Do I need a Facebook account to scrape event details?
  • No. This actor handles all requests using public server proxies and API keys, so no personal accounts or cookies are needed.
• Q: Can I extract attendees' profiles?
  • No, due to privacy rules and API scopes, only aggregated attendance counts (responded_count) are returned.
• Q: Can I scrape private Facebook events?
  • No. Only public Facebook events accessible to everyone can be parsed and scraped.
• Q: Why does the cover image link fail after some time?
  • Facebook CDN links are temporary. You should download or cache images if you need long-term access.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Solution
Empty details / Error returned	The event might be private, deleted, or geoblocked	Confirm you can access the event URL in an incognito window
Invalid URL schema	The input URL format is not recognized	Check that the URL matches https://www.facebook.com/events/ID/
"Network error" / Slow responses	Large queue of URLs or rate limits	Restrict the number of URLs scraped per batch, or wait a few minutes before retrying
