## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

"# Facebook Group Posts Export to Excel (cookieless / no login needed)

### Need to download Facebook group data to Excel? This tool helps you extract posts without logging in

If you're a social media community manager, agency owner, or business professional who needs to analyze Facebook group activity, this tool makes it simple. Export group posts directly to Excel or CSV—no technical skills, no Facebook login, and no complicated setup required. Perfect for tracking engagement trends, understanding content strategies, and gathering competitive intelligence from public Facebook groups.

### Step-by-Step Guide

**Step 1:** Find the Group ID from your Facebook group URL. It's the number in the web address when you visit the group.

**Step 2:** Paste the Group ID into the tool and click ""Start."" No login or authentication needed—the tool works instantly.

**Step 3:** Download your data as Excel, CSV, or XML. Open it in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet program you prefer.

### What columns will I get?

Your download will include the following columns:

- **Group ID** - The unique identifier for the Facebook group
- **Group Name** - The name of the Facebook group
- **Group Member Count** - Total number of members in the group
- **Post ID** - Unique identifier for each post
- **Post Content** - The full text content of the post
- **Post Author Name** - Name of the person who created the post
- **Post Created Date** - When the post was published
- **Post Engagement Count** - Total engagement (likes, reactions, etc.)
- **Post Comment Count** - Number of comments on the post
- **Post Share Count** - How many times the post was shared
- **Post Type** - Type of post (event, photo, video, text, etc.)
- **Post Attachment URL** - Link to any attached files or media

### How to use this data

**Analyze Engagement Trends:** Sort your spreadsheet by engagement count and created date to identify which types of posts perform best. Track patterns over time to understand what content resonates with your audience.

**Competitive Intelligence:** Export posts from competitor groups to see what topics they're discussing, what content gets the most interaction, and how their community responds. Use these insights to improve your own content strategy.

**Monthly Reporting:** Add the exported data to your client reports or internal dashboards. Filter by date range in Excel to show monthly performance metrics, top-performing posts, and community growth trends.

### Input Settings

**Group ID:** This is the unique number that identifies a Facebook group. You can find it in the group's URL when you visit the page on Facebook.

For example, if the group URL is `facebook.com/groups/1439220986320043`, then your Group ID is `1439220986320043`.

Simply copy this number and paste it into the tool to start extracting posts from that group.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Do I need a Facebook account to use this tool?**

A: No! This tool works without any login or authentication. You don't need to connect your Facebook account or provide any credentials.

**Q: Can I open this in Google Sheets?**

A: Yes, absolutely! Just download the CSV file and upload it to Google Sheets. You can also open Excel files directly in Google Sheets by uploading them to Google Drive.

**Q: How many posts can I export at once?**

A: You can export as many posts as you need. The tool will gather all available posts from the group based on your settings.

**Q: Will this work with private groups?**

A: This tool works best with public groups where posts are visible without membership. Private group content may not be accessible without proper permissions.

**Q: What format should I choose?**

A: Excel (XLSX) is great for advanced analysis and formatting. CSV works everywhere and is perfect for Google Sheets. XML is useful if you're importing data into other software systems.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "groupId": "1439220986320043"
}' |
apify call monumental_world/facebook-group-posts --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,monumental_world/facebook-group-posts"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
