Facebook Reviews Scraper

⭐ Turn public Facebook Page feedback into structured data

Facebook Reviews Scraper helps developers, agencies, analysts, and business teams collect public Facebook Page recommendations and non-recommendations in an Apify dataset. Each row can include source-backed text, status, timestamps, engagement, Page details, and public reviewer details, with a direct recommendation link and a trustworthy reviewer ID or profile link when available. This gives you structured Page feedback to review or export without supplying Facebook credentials.

• Collect public Page recommendations with the Facebook reviews scraper task.
• Export public Facebook Page reviews with the Facebook Page reviews export task.
• Track public Page feedback over time with the Facebook recommendations monitoring task.
• Review newer Page recommendations with the Recent Facebook reviews task.
• Compare visible recommendation engagement with the Facebook review engagement analysis task.

📦 Data you can export

Each successful dataset row represents one public Facebook Page recommendation or non-recommendation and can contain:

• recommendationId and recommendationUrl: Facebook's source identifier and stable direct public URL.
• createdAt, text, and recommendationStatus: publication time, recommendation text, and recommends or doesNotRecommend when exposed.
• tags: visible recommendation tags when exposed.
• reactionCount, reactions, commentCount, and shareCount: visible engagement totals and reaction breakdowns when available.
• page: the reviewed Page's ID, name, image, and public URL.
• reviewer: the public reviewer name and image, plus a stable public ID and profile URL when trustworthy.
• media: source-hosted media details attached to the recommendation when available.
• comments: collected top-level comments and direct replies when requested and available.

Facebook does not expose every value on every recommendation. Missing values are omitted rather than inferred; the Actor does not fabricate star ratings, statuses, identities, or engagement.

Each row is the first eligible occurrence of a source recommendation. If the same recommendation appears again through another submitted handle, URL, ID, or equivalent target, the later match is ignored.

🚀 How to run the Actor

1. Add one or more Facebook Page handles, Page URLs, review URLs, or numeric Page IDs under Facebook Pages.
2. Set optional per-Page and run-wide recommendation limits. Leave Recommendations per Page empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted for each Page. Leave Total recommendations empty to return all available results until the submitted sources are exhausted.
3. Set comment and reply limits if you want the Actor to request those source-available details. Use 0 to exclude them.
4. Start the Actor, then open the default dataset to inspect or export saved recommendations.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. A recommendation event is charged only when one accepted public Facebook recommendation is saved. Empty runs, invalid targets, setup work, comments, replies, and media do not create separate recommendation events.

Use the total and per-Page recommendation limits to bound how many recommendations a run can save.

🔌 Integrations

Use Apify API clients, webhooks, schedules, and dataset exports to move saved rows into spreadsheets, BI tools, databases, or your own application.

❓ FAQ

Does the Actor return Facebook star ratings?

No. Facebook commonly exposes Page feedback as a recommendation status rather than a star rating. The dataset does not add a star rating when Facebook does not provide one.

What happens when Facebook does not expose a recommendation status or optional field?

The unavailable field is omitted. The Actor does not substitute unknown, invent a status, or create placeholder data.

Does each recommendation have a stable direct link?

Yes. recommendationUrl is the direct public Facebook permalink for recommendationId. The same recommendation keeps the same ID and permalink across runs and repeated matches.

Are reviewer IDs and profile links stable?

The Actor keeps reviewer IDs and profile links only when they are trustworthy. If Facebook returns a changing alias or an untrustworthy link, those optional fields are left out. The reviewer name can remain when Facebook exposes it.

What happens when the same recommendation is found more than once?

The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence and ignores later matches for that recommendation. The saved row describes only the first match.

Does it need a Facebook login, cookies, or Meta API key?

No. It collects publicly accessible Page recommendations without asking you for Facebook credentials, cookies, or a Meta API key.

Can it access private or login-only reviews?

No. Private, removed, login-only, or otherwise inaccessible Facebook content is outside its scope.

Which Facebook Page identifiers can I submit?

The input accepts Page handles, full Page URLs, review URLs, and numeric Page IDs. Unsupported or unresolved targets do not become dataset rows.

Why might a Page return fewer recommendations than its limit?

A limit is a maximum, not a promised count. Facebook may expose fewer public recommendations, omit fields, or make a target unavailable.

What happens when I leave a recommendation limit empty?

Leaving Recommendations per Page empty returns all available results until the source is exhausted for each Page. Leaving Total recommendations empty returns all available results until the submitted sources are exhausted.

How do comments and replies affect a run?

Set Comments per recommendation and Replies per comment to request those source-available details. Use 0 to leave them out. Comments and replies do not create separate recommendation events.

Why use this instead of the Meta API?

The Meta API is designed for approved apps and permissioned workflows. This Actor exports publicly accessible Page recommendations without requiring your own Meta app or API key; it does not provide private or permissioned data.

Can I use the collected data responsibly?

Use the Actor only for lawful purposes and follow applicable privacy, data-protection, and platform rules. You are responsible for how you store and use collected public data.
