Scrape public Facebook page profile details and visible posts from a page handle or Facebook page URL. The actor is designed for small, bounded monitoring and research runs where the target page has public content visible without logging in.

Input

{
"socialName": "dior",
"numberOfPosts": 5,
"globalTimeOut": 300,
"debugArtifacts": false
}
  • socialName - Facebook page handle, @handle, or full facebook.com page URL.
  • numberOfPosts - Maximum visible public posts to return. The allowed range is 1 to 50.
  • globalTimeOut - Maximum runtime budget in seconds. The allowed range is 30 to 3600.
  • debugArtifacts - Saves final HTML and screenshot to the key-value store for troubleshooting.

Output

The actor pushes one dataset item per page:

{
"socialName": "Dior",
"pageUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/Dior/",
"about": {
"description": "Public page description when available",
"link": "https://www.facebook.com/Dior/",
"websiteUrl": "https://www.dior.com/"
},
"rating": null,
"posts": [
{
"date": "May 29",
"text": "Visible post text",
"imageUrl": "https://...",
"videoUrl": null,
"postUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/.../posts/...",
"like": null,
"comment": null,
"share": null,
"iframeLink": null
}
],
"diagnostics": {
"title": "Dior | Facebook",
"url": "https://www.facebook.com/Dior/",
"loginWall": false,
"challenge": false,
"bodySample": "Short page text sample"
}
}

Notes

Facebook can show anonymous visitors login prompts, security checks, or a reduced public page. When that happens, the actor returns page diagnostics instead of hanging indefinitely. Enable debugArtifacts only when investigating a failed page, because screenshots and HTML increase storage usage.
