# Best-performing Facebook posts of a page, by engagement

**Use case:** 

Export the last 100 posts of a brand page with reactions by type, comments, shares and engagement rate on followers, then sort them in the Spreadsheet view to find what works: post type, hashtags, links and timing. Example: Nike.

## Input

```json
{
  "pageUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.facebook.com/nike"
    }
  ],
  "maxPosts": 100,
  "onlyNewPosts": false,
  "includeComments": false,
  "maxCommentsPerPost": 50,
  "includeReplies": true,
  "onlyNewComments": false
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "pageName": {
    "label": "Page name",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "createdAt": {
    "label": "Created at",

### How is the engagement rate computed?

(reactions + comments + shares) divided by the page followers, times 100, for each post; the SUMMARY record gives the page average.

### Can I compare several pages?

Yes: add up to 1,000 pages. The SUMMARY record lists totals and averages per page.

### Do I need a Facebook account or cookies?

No. Paste public page links or names and run. You only need an Apify account.

### How much does this cost?

$0.70 per 1,000 posts on the Free plan, down to $0.55 on Business and higher plans. No start fee, platform usage included. Comments, when enabled, cost $0.18 to $0.14 per 1,000.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/monkey.d.scraping/facebook-page-posts-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
