Scrape public Facebook posts, reels, videos, and visible engagement data from pages, profiles, and public groups. Unofficial actor, not affiliated with Facebook or Meta.
Parsed authenticated Apify proxy URLs into Playwright's server / username / password fields so residential proxy retries no longer fail with ERR_INVALID_AUTH_CREDENTIALS.
Allowed logged-out login_redirect and login_required surfaces to retry once through the residential fallback instead of treating them as permanently unavailable after the first attempt.
0.3.15 - 2026-04-18
Fixed
Forced dev dependencies to install in the Docker builder stage so Apify cloud rebuilds always have TypeScript available during image compilation.
0.3.14 - 2026-04-18
Fixed
Launched the bundled Chrome channel explicitly so Apify cloud builds do not fail looking for Playwright's missing Chromium headless shell binary.
Added regression coverage for the browser launch configuration used in Apify cloud runs.
0.3.13 - 2026-04-18
Fixed
Reclassified minimal logged-out login shells on target paths as unavailable public surfaces instead of hard runtime failures.
Added regression coverage for the Facebook QA case where a target stays on-path but only renders a login prompt and no usable post feed.
0.3.12 - 2026-03-26
Changed
Reworked the README output section into a more scannable Store-friendly overview of the post data, media, and diagnostics the actor returns.
0.3.11 - 2026-03-26
Fixed
Added legacy targets input compatibility so older API callers do not fail with "No valid Facebook targets provided".
Normalized mbasic.facebook.com, m.facebook.com, and mobile.facebook.com inputs onto www.facebook.com before scraping the public surface.
0.3.10 - 2026-03-25
Fixed
Relaxed public post container detection so logged-out public pages with modern Facebook post cards still emit posts.
Removed brittle text-only unavailable-surface matching that could misclassify usable public pages with login prompts.
0.3.6 - 2026-03-23
Fixed
Added surface diagnostics logging when zero posts are found, distinguishing login walls from genuinely empty pages.
Improved empty-run classification after residential proxy fallback retry.
0.3.5 - 2026-03-23
Fixed
Marked runs as failed when every Facebook target errors out, instead of reporting them as successful empty runs.
Clarified emptyRunPolicy docs so it only applies to reachable public surfaces that genuinely return zero posts.
0.3.4 - 2026-03-22
Fixed
Passed the Facebook surface readiness timeout to Playwright using the correct page.waitForFunction(fn, arg, options) signature.
Prevented Apify cloud runs from silently falling back to Playwright's default 30 second wait, which was still triggering empty-run retries for some public pages.
0.3.3 - 2026-03-22
Fixed
Recovered gracefully when Facebook's public page shell is usable but readiness probing times out.
Added regression coverage for readiness timeout recovery during navigation.
0.3.2 - 2026-03-21
Fixed
Added support for absolute Facebook timestamps (e.g. "March 15, 2026") alongside relative time labels.
Aligned Apify actor version format for consistent Store builds.
0.3.1 - 2026-03-21
Fixed
Hardened Facebook page navigation so logged-out scraping can recover when domcontentloaded stalls in cloud runs.
Relaxed source metadata readiness checks to avoid failing healthy targets that render the page shell before the header finishes loading.
0.3.0 - 2026-03-18
Changed
Bumped the actor release version for the public Store launch.
Cleaned the public README to remove internal development-only instructions.
Replaced client-specific examples with neutral output samples and stable public demo inputs.
Updated the live Store sample input and publication metadata to support a safer first-run experience.
0.2.0 - 2026-03-18
Added
Marketplace-ready README with stronger SEO copy, API examples, FAQ, use cases, and pricing guidance.
Production launch guide with Store metadata, pricing recommendations, monetization setup notes, and publish checklist.
Additional dataset views for engagement analysis and source metadata review.
Changed
Improved input schema copy for better Apify Store UX and clearer public-surface expectations.
Refined actor dataset descriptions and view labels for a more production-ready Store presentation.
