What It Does

This actor is a dedicated Facebook follower count scraper and tracker. Give it one handle or thousands — it visits each public Facebook Page, reads the live follower count and following count, and returns a structured row per page. No Meta login, no cookies, no API token, no rate-limit approval cycle.

• Facebook follower count — live follower number for any public Page or profile.
• Following count — how many accounts the Page follows.
• Bulk mode — pass hundreds or thousands of handles in a single run.
• No login, no cookies — public data only, no session tokens or Graph API keys.
• Schedule it — run daily/weekly to track Facebook page follower growth over time.

Output

Every page returns a clean, structured JSON row, ready for CSV/Excel export or downstream pipelines:

{
  "username": "zuck",
  "platform": "facebook",
  "followers": 119000000,
  "following": 530,
  "posts": null,
  "profileUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/zuck/",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-16T10:00:00.000Z"
}

Fields are properly typed, dates are ISO-8601, and any metric that couldn't be read comes back null — the run never crashes on a single bad page. Pages that are private, deleted, or don't exist are not pushed to the dataset, so you're never billed for empty rows.

How to Use

1. In the Input tab, paste Facebook page handles into the Facebook Pages & Profiles field — one per line.

2. Enable Proxy Configuration → select Apify Proxy (the built-in proxy works out of the box; RESIDENTIAL is recommended if you hit a login wall).

3. Click Start — results appear in the Dataset tab as each page completes.

{
  "facebook": ["zuck", "MetaAI", "nasa"]
}

Input format:

Field	Format	Example
Facebook	page handle (the part after facebook.com/)	zuck

Proxy Setup

The actor ships with a built-in proxy that works out of the box — no configuration needed. Facebook serves a login wall to datacenter IPs, so the actor bootstraps a public session and falls back to residential automatically. Optionally supply your own proxy in the Proxy Configuration field if you prefer a specific provider or pool.

FAQ

Do I need a Facebook account, cookies, or the Graph API? No. The actor reads only public Facebook page data — no login, no cookies, no API token, no app review. A built-in proxy handles access automatically.

Can I track Facebook follower growth over time? Yes. Schedule the actor on a cron and export each run to a sheet or warehouse. Comparing the daily/weekly follower count per page gives you a full Facebook follower tracker and Facebook follower monitor — and the run history doubles as Facebook follower analytics for page growth reporting, with no extra tooling.

Can I scrape many Facebook pages at once? Yes. Paste as many handles as you need — the actor processes them concurrently in a single run for bulk Facebook page follower count extraction.

What if a page is private, deleted, or unavailable? Failed pages are not pushed to the dataset (you're not billed for them). The run continues for every other page, and a failure list (username, reason) is written to the run's Key-Value Store under FAILED-PROFILES.

How fresh is the data? Every run scrapes live. There is no caching.

Can I export to a spreadsheet or call it via API? Yes. Export the dataset to CSV/Excel from Storage → Dataset → Export, or trigger runs and fetch results programmatically via the Apify API and official SDKs.

Is it legal to scrape public Facebook pages? The actor extracts only publicly available page data and does not bypass authentication walls or access private content. You are responsible for compliance with Facebook's Terms and applicable laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) when using the data.
