Pull live posts from Facebook public pages and profiles. The actor accepts a list of page URLs (or slugs), walks each page's feed, and returns one structured record per post ready for social listening, brand monitoring, content research, or competitive intelligence.

Every run fetches data live so you get the current state of Facebook at run time. Records include the post URL, post text, author name, post date, reaction counts (like, love, wow, haha, sad, angry), comment count, share count, media URLs (images and videos), video flag, and a back-reference URL.

📋 What the Facebook Posts Scraper does

• 📘 Two input formats. Page URLs or page slugs (e.g. cern, nasa, bbcearth).
• 📅 Date range filter. minPostDate and maxPostDate for time-bounded scrapes.
• ❤️ Reaction breakdown. Count of like, love, wow, haha, sad, angry reactions.
• 📊 Engagement metrics. Comment count, share count.
• 🎥 Media detection. Image URLs, video URLs, video flag.
• 🆔 Per-post back-reference. Canonical post URL.

The scraper walks each page's feed, extracts post metadata, and pushes structured records to the dataset.

💡 Why it matters: Facebook public pages remain a primary source of brand and creator content but the platform's UI lacks bulk export. A live, structured pull beats manual scraping for social listening, brand monitoring, and competitive content research.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: comments, facebookId, facebookUrl, feedbackId, imageUrl, inputUrl, isReel, isShared, isVideo, likes, link, media, mediaType, mediaUrl, pageName, postId, reactionAngryCount, reactionCareCount, reactionHahaCount, reactionLikeCount, reactionLoveCount, reactionSadCount, reactionWowCount, scrapedAt, sharedFrom, shares, text, thumbnailUrl, time, timestamp, topReactionsCount, url, videoUrl. All 33 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: the actor only processes public pages and profiles. Private pages and groups behind login are not accessible.
