Facebook Posts Scraper

🚀 Facebook Posts Scraper

Scrape the posts of any public Facebook page, newest first, with no login and no Graph API token. The Facebook Posts Scraper returns each post's text, exact date, reactions (with the breakdown by type), comment and share counts, video views, photos, video links and thumbnails, shared links and the page's name and ID. Paste many page URLs or usernames in one run and export the posts to JSON, CSV or Excel. Use it to scrape Facebook posts for competitor monitoring, Facebook post engagement reports, brand and social listening, content research and page analytics.

✨ Features

• 📰 Page timeline: Public posts of a page, newest first, page after page, months back.
• 📈 Engagement data: Reactions total and per type (Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad, Angry, Care), comments, shares and video views.
• 🖼️ Media: Photo URLs, video URLs with thumbnail and duration, every photo of an album post.
• 🔗 Shared links: Target URL, title, description and preview image of shared articles.
• 📅 Date filter: Only posts published after a date (2026-10-01) or in a relative window (30 days).
• 📦 Bulk pages: Many pages per run, each with its own post limit; duplicate inputs are merged.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Enter Facebook pages: https://www.facebook.com/NASA, NASA or facebook.com/profile.php?id=…, one per line.
2. Set the limit: 50 posts per page by default, and optionally a "Posted after" date.
3. Run the scraper: download the posts as JSON, CSV or Excel, or get them through the API.

A shared article fills link instead of media:

"mediaType": "Link",
"link": {
    "url": "https://on.natgeo.com/g4xcRU",
    "title": "Fighting to Save the Pangolin, the World’s Most Wanted Animal",
    "description": null,

    "imageUrl": "https://external.fdad3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/emg1/v/t13/9680513787067458301?…"
}

inputPage is the page you entered, so rows from several pages are easy to group.

🎯 Use Cases

• Competitor monitoring: track what rival brands post and which posts get the most reactions and shares.
• Facebook post engagement reports: reactions, comments and shares per post over a date range, ready for a spreadsheet.
• Social listening and research: collect public posts of news outlets, public figures and organisations for analysis or AI pipelines.
• Content planning: see which formats (video, photo, link) perform best on a page.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Facebook account, cookies or a Graph API token? No. The scraper reads public pages the way a logged-out visitor sees them.

Which pages work? Public pages and public figures. Personal profiles and groups need a login and are not supported.

How far back does it go? The page timeline goes months back: we read NASA's page 300 posts deep (back to January 2026, about 9 months) without reaching the end. Set "Max posts per page" high and use "Posted after" to stop at a date.

Can I scrape Facebook posts to Excel or CSV? Yes. Every run's dataset downloads as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML, or through the Apify API.

Are comments included? The comment count is. The comment text is not part of this actor.

Why is videoViews usually empty? Facebook shows view counts to logged-out visitors only on a few videos (about 1 in 200 posts in our tests).

How long do the image and video links work? Facebook's media links expire after a few days, so download the files you need soon after the run.
