Facebook Comments Scraper

Get comments from any public Facebook post. Drop in a URL, get back structured data — author, text, likes, replies, profile picture, and direct links.

Works with regular posts, photos, videos, and reels. No Facebook account or API key required.

What you get

Every comment includes 10 fields:

{
    "postUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/Coca-Cola/posts/pfbid02zmKjSC...",
    "commentUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/people/Alessio-Zagami/100036310122448/?comment_id=Y29t...",
    "text": "Great drink, drink in moderation",
    "date": "2024-03-29T23:48:22.020Z",
    "timeAgo": "2 años",
    "authorName": "Alessio Zagami",
    "authorUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/people/Alessio-Zagami/100036310122448/",
    "authorPicture": "https://scontent-fra3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-1/297656494...",
    "likesCount": 26,
    "repliesCount": 19
}

That's real output from a Coca-Cola post with 2,600 comments.

When includePostInfo is on, you also get the post metadata:

{
    "postUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/Coca-Cola/posts/pfbid02zmKjSC...",
    "pageName": "Coca-Cola",
    "reactions": "3,2 mil",
    "shares": "540",
    "totalComments": "2,6 mil",
    "recordType": "post"
}

What URLs work

Anything from a public Facebook page:

• https://www.facebook.com/PageName/posts/pfbid... — regular post
• https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=... — photo post
• https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=... — video
• https://www.facebook.com/reel/... — reel

Pricing

$0.45 per 1,000 comments. You only pay for results you get.

A post with 500 comments costs about $0.23. No monthly fees, no subscriptions.

Things to know

• Facebook shows comments sorted by "Most relevant" by default. The scraper switches to "All comments" to get the full list, including spam.
• Profile pictures are available for the first batch of commenters. Commenters loaded via scroll may not have pictures (Facebook doesn't include them in the DOM for anonymous visitors).
• The date field is calculated from the relative time Facebook shows ("2 years ago", "16 weeks ago"). It's approximate, not exact.
• repliesCount tells you how many replies a comment has, but the replies themselves are not extracted (only top-level comments).
• Private posts, group posts behind login, and restricted content won't return results.

FAQ

How many comments can I get per post? Depends on the post. The scraper loads all available comments using Facebook's infinite scroll. Posts with thousands of comments may take a few minutes.

Do I need a Facebook account? No. The scraper accesses public posts the same way anyone without an account would.

Why are some profile pictures missing? Facebook only sends profile photos for the first ~10 commenters in the initial page load. Commenters loaded via scroll get placeholder images instead. This is a Facebook limitation, not a scraper issue.

Are reactions "likes" or all reactions? All reactions — likes, love, haha, wow, sad, and angry combined into one number.
