What is the best Facebook scraper?

You can use any of the dedicated scrapers below if you want to scrape specific Facebook data. Each of them is built particularly for the relevant Facebook scraping case be it groups, reviews, comments or ads. Feel free to browse them:

❓ FAQ

Is there a difference between scraping a Facebook page and Facebook profile?

Yes, there is. Facebook Pages are created for businesses, companies, non-profits, and other social causes. Those are the Facebook accounts that strive to provide "public-first" content and are often managed by a group of people. An easy way to distinguish between a Facebook profile and a Facebook page is that pages usually have a category of content and activity they would like to be associated with (news, software, hospitality, etc.) Facebook Pages that are particularly popular often include a blue verification badge. Facebook profiles are created for personal use.

Facebook Pages Scraper can extract information from both Facebook pages and Facebook profiles. However, the data provided by each differs. Generally, Facebook profiles contain less data. From Facebook profile, you can typically expect: facebookUrl, pageName, pageId, pageUrl, title, facebookId, coverPhotoUrl, and personalProfile (name, gender, profile photos: small, medium, large).

Why do I see less information for some Facebook pages?

Some Facebook pages have restrictions set either by Facebook or by the page owners, which can limit the information that's publicly available. Without logging into an account, access to certain details may be restricted. Logging into a Facebook account can help verify whether that's the case or whether there's an issue with the scraper itself.

Can I export Facebook Pages data using API?

Yes, you can access the extracted Facebook data through the Apify API. You’ll need an Apify account and your API token (available under Integrations settings in Console). Apify API is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and run Apify Actors. The API also lets you access any datasets, monitor actor performance, fetch results, create and update versions, and more. To access the API using Node.js, use the apify-client NPM package. To access the API using Python, use the apify-client PyPI package.

Click on the API tab for code examples or check out the Apify API reference docs for full detail.

Can I use Facebook Pages Scraper through an MCP Server?

With Apify API, you can use Facebook Pages Scraper within your AI workflows. You can connect to the MCP Server using clients like ClaudeDesktop and LibreChat or build your own. Here's you can se up 📘 Facebook Scraper via Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, you should:

1. Start a Server-Sent Events (SSE) session to receive a sessionId.
2. Send API messages using that sessionId to trigger the scraper.
3. The message starts the 📘 Facebook Pages Scraper with the provided input.
4. The response should be: Accepted.

Do I need proxies to scrape data from Facebook Pages?

You need proxies in general but you don't need to do anything extra to apply them if you run the scraper on the Apify platform. For successful Facebook scraping, we run residential proxies in the background which are included in Apify's monthly Starter plan ($39).

Can I integrate data from Facebook Pages Scraper with other apps?

Yes. Facebook Pages Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. You can integrate with Make, Zapier, ChatGPT, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Asana, Google Drive, Keboola, MCP Servers, and more.

You can also use webhooks to carry out an action whenever an event occurs, e.g., get a notification whenever Facebook Pages Scraper successfully finishes a run.

Is it legal to scrape Facebook Pages data?

Our Facebook scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so.

If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping and ethical scraping.
