Facebook Reactions Scraper

👍 See how people reacted to public Facebook posts

Facebook Reactions Scraper gives social media managers, marketers, creators, and researchers a clear view of how people reacted to public Facebook posts. For each post it reads, you get the reaction counts Facebook shows, such as Like, Love, and Care. You also get the public details of people who reacted, when Facebook lists them. Each item comes back as one row in a dataset. No Facebook login is needed.

Use it to:

• Compare reaction counts across a Page's most recent posts to see which ones drew the strongest response.
• Check the reaction mix on one public post, such as how many Likes, Loves, and Cares it got.
• Pull the public names and profile links of people who liked or loved a post, where Facebook shows them.
• Read each post's text, publish date, creator, and comment and share counts next to its reactions, when Facebook shows them.
• Limit a run to the most recent posts from each profile or page, so you only collect the posts you need.

📊 Reaction counts, reactors, and post details

Each result is one public Facebook post, photo, video, or reel that the Actor read successfully. A result can include:

• Reaction counts: how many Like, Love, Care, Haha, Wow, Sad, and Angry reactions Facebook shows.
• Reactors: the public name, profile link or ID, profile picture, and reaction type of each person Facebook lists.
• Post details: the text, publish date, creator, comment count, and share count. It also includes photo links, video view counts, or reel play counts when Facebook shows them.

Reactor lists are often shorter than the reaction counts. The Actor reads only the first page of reactors for each reaction category, which holds about 10 entries per category.

🚀 Start a run from post links or profile pages

1. Choose a source in Find reactions from: Content links, Profile posts, or Profile reels.
2. Paste public post links, or add public profile or page URLs.
3. Choose a Reaction category if you want reactors from one category only.
4. Set any limits you want, then start the run.
5. Open the Results link in the Output tab to see your rows.

⚙️ Input

Choose one source option and add its links. The values for the other options stay visible, but the Actor ignores them. Reaction settings apply to every option.

Input fields

Field	Type	What it does
Find reactions from (discoveryMethod)	string	Choose contentLinks for Content links, profilePosts for Profile posts, or profileReels for Profile reels. Content links is the prefilled choice.
Links to posts or media (contentUrls)	array of objects	Public Facebook links to posts, photos, videos, reels, permalinks, or share links to reels. Each item has one url. Share links to posts are not available. Use this field with Content links.
Profile or page URLs (profileUrls)	array of objects	Public Facebook profile or page URLs for Profile posts or Profile reels. Each item has one url.
Maximum items per profile (maxProfileItems)	integer	For Profile posts, how many of the most current posts to collect from each profile or page. For Profile reels, how many current reels to collect from each profile or page. Leave blank to collect all available results until Facebook has no more current items to show.
Reaction category (reactionType)	string	Which reactors to include: all (default), like, love, care, haha, wow, sad, or angry. Reaction counts still show every category Facebook publishes.
Maximum reactor entries (maxReactors)	integer	A total limit on reactor entries across the run. Use a whole number of 1 or more. The Actor reads only the first page of reactors for each reaction category on each item, about 10 entries per category. Leave blank for no total limit beyond those first pages. The form prefills 50.

🔌 Integrations

Results are saved to an Apify dataset. You can download that dataset in common formats or read it through the Apify API.

❓ FAQ

Why are there fewer reactors than reaction counts?

The counts are the totals Facebook shows for each reaction type. The Actor reads only the first page of reactors for each reaction category. That page holds about 10 entries per category. Facebook can also limit a list or hide some names while still showing the counts.

Which reaction category should I choose?

Choose All reactions to include reactors from every category. Choose one category, such as Love, to include only those reactors. Reaction counts still show every category Facebook publishes, whichever category you choose.

Should I use Content links or Profile posts?

Use Content links when you already have the post links. Use Profile posts when you want the most current posts from a public profile or page. Use Profile reels for reels from a public profile or page.

What happens to a link that is private, blocked, or unreadable?

The Actor does not add it to your results. The run's warning log lists it instead.

Why does a row have a Content ID but no URL?

Facebook does not always show a link for an item. When a row has no URL, use its Content ID to find the item on Facebook.

Does the Actor return comments?

No. It returns the number of comments and shares that Facebook shows for each item, but not the comment text.

Does the Actor track reactions over time or send alerts?

No. Each run reads what Facebook shows at that time. The Actor does not keep reaction history, watch posts, or send change alerts.

Can I search Facebook by keyword?

No. Facebook keyword search is not supported. Give the Actor public post links, or public profile and page URLs, to read.

Do I need a Facebook account?

No. The Actor reads public Facebook content and does not ask for your Facebook login or account credentials.

How am I charged?

Each public post, photo, video, or reel that the Actor reads successfully is charged at the price for your Apify pricing tier.

Are there other Facebook reaction scrapers?

Yes. Some are listed in Related Actors below. Each one has its own inputs, outputs, and prices, so compare them before you run.
