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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Facebook Page Search - Pages & Keywords Finder **Search Facebook Pages and keywords using the Ad Library autocomplete API.

Basic - Search a Page/Brand Name ```json { "query": "gymshark", "country": "US" } ```` #### 2. Advanced - Regional Autocomplete Suggestions ```json { "query": "tech tools", "country": "DE" } ``` *** ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Default | Example | |-----------|------|----------|-------------|---------|---------| | `query` | String | Yes | The search keyword, brand name, or phrase to lookup suggestions for | - | `"gymshark"`, `"nike"`, `"dropshipping"` | | `country` | String | No | Two-letter country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) for context | `"US"` | `"US"`, `"GB"`, `"CA"`, `"DE"`, `"IN"` | *** ### Output Format The actor outputs suggestion objects in a single flat list, using the `result_type` attribute (`page`, `keyword`, or `location`) to distinguish between record types. #### Output Example (Page Suggestion) ```json { "source": "facebook_page_search", "search_query": "gymshark", "country": "US", "result_type": "page", "position": 1, "name": "Gymshark", "page_id": "102484795092789", "category": "Sportswear Store", "image_uri": "https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/...", "likes": 2400320, "verification": "blue_verified", "entity_type": "page", "ig_username": "gymshark", "ig_followers": 6120480, "ig_verification": "blue_verified", "page_alias": "gymshark", "page_is_deleted": false, "keyword": null, "scraped_at": "2026-06-23T13:20:00.000Z" } ``` #### Output Example (Keyword Suggestion) ```json { "source": "facebook_page_search", "search_query": "gymshark", "country": "US", "result_type": "keyword", "position": 5, "name": "gymshark clothing", "keyword": "gymshark clothing", "page_id": null, "category": null, "image_uri": null, "likes": null, "verification": null, "entity_type": null, "ig_username": null, "ig_followers": null, "ig_verification": null, "page_alias": null, "page_is_deleted": null, "scraped_at": "2026-06-23T13:20:05.000Z" } ``` #### Output Fields Explained | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `source` | String | Source indicator, always `facebook_page_search` | | `search_query` | String | The query term used for search | | `country` | String | The country code used for regional context | | `result_type` | String | Type of suggest result (`page`, `keyword`, or `location`) | | `position` | Integer | Position of the result in the suggestions list (1-based) | | `name` | String | Target name (either the page name, keyword text, or location string) | | `page_id` | String | Facebook Page ID (for `page` type, otherwise `null`) | | `category` | String | Page business category (e.g. "Clothing Brand") | | `image_uri` | String | URL to the page logo/avatar image | | `likes` | Integer | Total Facebook page likes | | `verification` | String | Page verification status (e.g. `"blue_verified"`) | | `entity_type` | String | Type code of entity (usually `"page"`) | | `ig_username` | String | Linked Instagram account handle | | `ig_followers` | Integer | Follower count of linked Instagram account | | `ig_verification` | String | Verification status of linked Instagram account | | `page_alias` | String | Page alias identifier / slug name | | `page_is_deleted` | Boolean | Whether the page is flagged as deleted | | `keyword` | String | Autocomplete suggestion keyword (for `keyword` type, otherwise `null`) | | `scraped_at` | String | Timestamp of scraping run | *** ### Supported Countries The autocomplete context API uses 50 countries. Here are some of the most commonly used country codes: | Region | Code | Region | Code | Region | Code | |--------|------|--------|------|--------|------| | United States | `US` | United Kingdom | `GB` | Canada | `CA` | | Australia | `AU` | India | `IN` | Germany | `DE` | | France | `FR` | Italy | `IT` | Spain | `ES` | | Brazil | `BR` | Mexico | `MX` | Japan | `JP` | | South Korea | `KR` | Netherlands | `NL` | Sweden | `SE` | | Poland | `PL` | TΓΌrkiye | `TR` | United Arab Emirates | `AE` | | Saudi Arabia | `SA` | Singapore | `SG` | Indonesia | `ID` | *(Check `.actor/input_schema.json` for the complete list of 50 supported countries).* *** ### Performance & Limits - **Pagination** - Autocomplete does not support pagination. It is a single, direct request. - **Speed** - Runs extremely fast (normally under 3 seconds) since it only calls one endpoint once. - **Yield** - Returns up to ~10-20 suggestions mixed between keywords, pages, and locations depending on search volume. *** ### FAQ - **Q: How do I find the Page ID from this?** - Search for your brand name or competitor page name. The results with `result_type = "page"` will list the exact `page_id` in the dataset table. - **Q: Does this scraper require cookies?** - No login, credential mapping, or cookies are needed. - **Q: Why are some fields null?** - Suggestions can be simple search keywords (e.g. "nike shoes") which do not have page information like Page ID, category, or Instagram followers. Those fields will remain `null`. *** ### Troubleshooting | Issue | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | "No search query provided" | Empty or missing `query` | Provide a valid search term in the input | | No suggestions returned | The query is extremely unique or obfuscated | Try shorter keywords or common terms | | API errors / timeouts | Temporary server lag | The actor automatically retries and handles errors internally | *** ### Why Choose This Actor? - Fast brand name to Page ID mapping - Combines pages, keywords, and location suggestions - Extracts detailed likes, category, and verification badges - Includes linked Instagram account profiles & followers - Single API call (highly credit efficient) - Downloadable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or HTML *** ### Tags `facebook page search`, `facebook page id finder`, `autocomplete scraper`, `facebook brand search`, `competitor finder`, `instagram profile finder`, `ad library autocomplete`, `spy tool helpers`, `marketing automation`, `apify actor` *** ### Get Started Now 1.
