Facebook Profile Scraper — Public Profiles & Pages, No Login

Turn Facebook profile links, usernames or numeric IDs into clean, structured profile rows without logging in. Get the name, category, bio, work, education, city, hometown, relationship, websites, exact follower counts, verified badge, and profile and cover photos of public profiles and Pages. One row per profile, ready for JSON, CSV or Excel.

Why Use This Scraper?

• ✅ No login, cookies or Facebook account. Paste the profiles and run.
• ✅ Exact follower counts such as 121350061, not just the rounded "121M" label.
• ✅ Profiles and Pages in the same run. Every row says which one it is and gives its category.
• ✅ The full public intro card: work, education, current city, hometown, relationship, websites, emails and phones.
• ✅ Every common link format works: vanity URLs, profile.php?id= links, /people/ permalinks, mobile hosts, fb.com, plain usernames and numeric IDs.
• ✅ Pay only for delivered profiles. Anything that isn't delivered is listed with its reason and never billed.
• ✅ Duplicate-safe. The same profile given twice, by username and by ID, is delivered once.

Overview

Facebook Profile Scraper is built for sales and marketing teams, influencer researchers, recruiters and data teams who already have a list of Facebook profiles or Pages and need structured data about them.

You give it a list of profiles. It returns one dataset row per profile with what Facebook shows a logged-out visitor on the profile's header and intro card: identity, category, bio, work, education, places, links, audience counts and photos.

Personal profiles and Pages come back in the same row shape. The accountType field tells them apart. The actor reads profiles, not their content: posts, photos, comments, friends lists and follower lists are not scraped.

Supported Inputs

Input types

Input type	Pattern	Example
Profile or Page URL	facebook.com/<name>	https://www.facebook.com/zuck
Numeric-ID link	facebook.com/profile.php?id=<id>	https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=4
People permalink	facebook.com/people/<Name>/<id>/	https://www.facebook.com/people/<Name>/<id>/
Legacy Page URL	facebook.com/pg/<name>/	https://www.facebook.com/pg/NASA/
Mobile and short hosts	m., mbasic., web., touch. or fb.com	https://m.facebook.com/BillGates
Username	letters, digits, dots, - and _; a leading @ is fine	zuck or @zuck
Numeric ID	digits only	4

Links are normalized before fetching, so https://m.facebook.com/NASA/?ref=bookmarks and NASA are the same input.

Copy-pasteable startUrls

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.facebook.com/zuck",
    "https://m.facebook.com/NASA",
    "BillGates"
  ]
}

Unsupported inputs

• ❌ Groups, events, posts, photos, videos, reels, Marketplace, search and hashtag links (/groups/, /events/, /posts/, /watch/, /marketplace/, /search/, /hashtag/ and similar). They are rejected before any fetch and listed in NOT_DELIVERED with the reason.
• ❌ Links that are not on facebook.com or fb.com, including shortened links such as bit.ly.
• ❌ Anything behind the Facebook login: friends-only details, private profiles, friends lists.
• ❌ Keyword or name search. This actor reads a list of profiles you already have. To find profiles by keyword, run Facebook Search Scraper first and feed its URLs in here.

Use Cases

Audience	Use case
Sales & lead generation	Enrich a list of business Pages with category, website, email and phone before outreach
Influencer marketing	Compare creators and public figures by exact follower count and verified status
Brand & competitor monitoring	Schedule a run over competitor Pages and track their follower counts over time
Recruiting & research	Read the public work and education lines of profiles you already have links for
Data teams & agencies	Turn a column of Facebook links in a CRM or spreadsheet into clean, typed fields

How It Works

1. Paste profiles. URLs, usernames or numeric IDs, in any mix.
2. Normalize and dedupe. Every input becomes one canonical profile link. Duplicates are fetched once, and links that are not profiles are set aside.
3. Fetch the public page. Each profile is loaded as a logged-out visitor through residential IPs, with up to three attempts.
4. Parse the header and intro card. Name, category, bio, work, education, places, links, audience counts and photos.
5. Export. One row per profile in JSON, CSV or Excel. Every input that gets no row, other than a duplicate of a delivered profile, is listed in the NOT_DELIVERED record with its reason.

Input Configuration

Input fields

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
startUrls	array of strings	yes	–	Profile or Page URLs, usernames or numeric IDs, one per line. Objects of the form {"url": "..."} are accepted too. Duplicates are fetched once.
maxItems	integer	no	1000	Stop after this many profile rows.
maxConcurrency	integer (1–10)	no	4	How many profiles are fetched at the same time.
proxy	object	no	built-in residential pool	Leave empty for most runs. Facebook shows a login page to datacenter IPs, so if you set your own proxy, make it residential.

Common scenarios

1. A few profiles

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.facebook.com/zuck", "BillGates"],
  "maxItems": 10
}

2. A mixed column from a spreadsheet

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://m.facebook.com/NASA",
    "https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=4",
    "@BillGates"
  ],
  "maxConcurrency": 6
}

3. Your own residential proxy

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.facebook.com/NASA"],
  "proxy": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

Output Overview

Each dataset item is one profile or Page:

• Identity: profile ID, username, name, canonical URL, account type (profile or page), category, verified badge, memorialized flag
• About: bio, work, education, current city, hometown, relationship
• Contact and links: websites, emails and phones, when the intro card shows them publicly
• Audience: exact follower count with Facebook's rounded label, following, friends, "talking about this", likes
• Media: profile picture and cover photo URLs
• Raw intro: introItems, every intro line with its link, for anything the named fields don't cover
• Run metadata: the input you gave (inputUrl) and scrapedAt

Profiles and Pages share one shape. A field the profile doesn't show is null, and an empty list is []. Pages usually have a category, websites and a "talking about this" count but no work or education. Personal profiles are often the other way round.

FAQ

Do I need a Facebook account, cookies or a login?

No. The actor reads each profile the way a logged-out visitor sees it. You never share credentials, and no account is at risk.

Which links work?

Profile and Page URLs on www, m, mbasic, web, touch and fb.com hosts, profile.php?id= links, /people/<Name>/<id>/ permalinks, legacy /pg/<name>/ links, bare usernames (with or without @) and numeric IDs. Group, event, post, photo, video, Marketplace and search links are rejected and listed in NOT_DELIVERED.

How exact are the follower counts?

followers is the exact number Facebook puts in the page's own metadata, for example 121350061. followersText keeps the rounded label shown on screen, such as "121M followers". If a page carries no exact figure, followers falls back to the rounded label, so "121M" becomes 121000000.

Why are some fields empty?

The actor only returns what a logged-out visitor can see. Many personal profiles hide their work, education, city or relationship, and Pages rarely list work or education. Hidden fields are null or []. friends and likes are filled only when Facebook shows those counts publicly, which is rare today.

Can it scrape private profiles, friends lists or posts?

No. Private and friends-only details, friends lists, follower lists, posts, photos and comments are out of scope. For posts, use Facebook Posts Scraper.

What happens to profiles that can't be scraped?

They are listed in the run's NOT_DELIVERED record (Storage → Key-value store) with the input and a reason, such as "Facebook says this profile or Page is not available", an invalid link, or "not attempted: maxItems reached". They are never pushed to the dataset, so they are never billed.

Do the photo links expire?

Yes. profilePictureUrl and coverPhotoUrl are signed Facebook CDN links that stop working after a few days. If you need the images, download them soon after the run.

Do I need a proxy?

No. Runs use a built-in residential pool by default. If you set your own proxy, use a residential one, because Facebook shows a login page to datacenter IPs.

How fast is it?

A test run of three profiles took about 9 seconds. Up to 10 profiles are fetched in parallel (maxConcurrency), and each one gets up to three attempts before it is set aside.

Can I find profiles by name or keyword?

Not with this actor. Use Facebook Search Scraper to find profiles and Pages by keyword, then paste their URLs here.

🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Compact reference for AI agents calling this actor via the Apify MCP server or the Apify API (actor: memo23/facebook-profile-scraper).

Purpose: Scrape public Facebook profiles and Pages without a login: one row per profile with identity, intro card, exact follower count and photos.

Minimal input:

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.facebook.com/NASA"],
  "maxItems": 5
}

Output: one dataset row per profile or Page with profileId, username, name, alternateName, url, accountType (profile or page), category, verified, bio, work[], education[], currentCity, hometown, relationship, websites[], emails[], phones[], followers, followersText, following, followingText, friends, talkingAbout, likes, profilePictureUrl, coverPhotoUrl, linkedPageId, isMemorialized, introItems[] {text, url}, inputUrl and scrapedAt.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• startUrls takes URLs, usernames (zuck) or numeric IDs (4). Set maxItems to cap rows.
• Inputs are deduplicated by link and by profile ID, so a profile never appears twice.
• Every input that gets no row (duplicates aside) is listed in the key-value record NOT_DELIVERED as {input, url, reason}.
• Billing is pay per event: a start event per run plus one event per profile row. Rejected, not-found, blocked and skipped inputs are never billed.
• Only data visible to a logged-out visitor is returned. There are no posts, friends lists or private fields, and no keyword search.
• Photo URLs are signed CDN links that expire after a few days.
