Facebook People Search Scraper

🔎 Find public Facebook profiles without a login

For recruiters, researchers, and sales teams, Facebook People Search Scraper searches one public Facebook name, phrase, location, or interest at a time. It returns structured profile rows with names, direct links, profile IDs, verification status, and profile image data when Facebook exposes them. It does not need a customer-provided Facebook login, cookies, or source credential, so you can review matching public profiles in a structured dataset.

• Find public profiles by name with Search Facebook People By Name.
• Search a location for public profiles with Facebook Profile Search By Location.
• Find public profiles without a Facebook account with Facebook People Search Without Account.
• Build a list of matching public profiles with Find Public Facebook Profiles.
• Find public people matches with Facebook People Finder.

👤 Public Facebook profile rows

Each saved row is one eligible public Facebook profile match. Required values are the display name, direct profile URL, and partial coverage flag. Facebook profile IDs, verification status, and profile image data appear when Facebook exposes them.

If the same profile appears again during discovery, the first eligible occurrence is saved immediately and later matches are ignored. The saved row describes that first match only.

▶️ Search one expression and review profiles

Run steps

1. Open the Actor's Input tab.
2. Enter one name, phrase, location, or interest in Search query. Use one search expression per run.
3. Start the run.
4. Open the default dataset and review the saved public profile rows.

Rows are saved as qualifying public matches are found. Facebook may make only part of its public matches available, and isPartialCoverage shows when the returned coverage is partial.

❓ FAQ

What does partial coverage mean?

It means the returned public profiles may represent only part of the matches Facebook makes available for the search. It does not promise an exhaustive list.

Why is a matching profile missing?

Only public matches Facebook makes available can be returned. The search uses one expression per run, and optional profile fields appear only when Facebook exposes them.

What happens when the same profile appears more than once?

The first eligible occurrence is saved. Later matches for that profile are ignored, and the row describes the first saved match only.

Can I search private profiles?

No. Private, login-only, and otherwise non-public Facebook profiles and data are outside this Actor's scope.

Can I use several search expressions in one run?

No. Use one name, phrase, location, or interest per run. Start separate runs when you need separate searches.

Does the Actor need my Facebook login?

No. It does not require a customer-provided Facebook login, cookies, or source credential.

Which profile fields can be missing?

Facebook may omit the profile ID, verification status, or profile image data. The Actor keeps the core public profile fields when they are available and does not invent missing values.

How is a profile event charged?

One event covers each qualifying public Facebook profile saved to the dataset. The pricing panel shows the current rates.
