It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## 📝 Facebook Page Posts Scraper Extract posts from any public Facebook page using its page ID. This actor leverages the latest Facebook page posts API and supports automatic pagination to collect up to your specified `maxResults`. ### Features - Scrape posts from any public Facebook page using its page ID. - Optional date range filtering with start_date and end_date. - Automatic pagination to fetch large result sets. - Returns structured post data including content, reactions, comments, and media. ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |------------|---------|----------|--------------------------------------------------| | page_id | string | Yes | The Facebook page ID to scrape posts from. | | start_date | string | No | Optional start date (yyyy-mm-dd) to filter posts.| | end_date | string | No | Optional end date (yyyy-mm-dd) to filter posts. | | maxResults | integer | No | Maximum number of posts to fetch | ### Output Each output item is a Facebook post object: ```json [ { "post_id": "1296377462490362", "type": "post", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/LombardOlkusz/posts/pfbid0xHDQtfzbGjH3dMqUZHkNr6VTGgsuUYSz6Joq6kyAwVaVVpWBM2P7VsUWkUHHwhvZl", "message": "Pamiętaj tylko u nas najlepsze ceny skupu złota 🙂🙂przyjdź sprawdź...zapraszamy od godziny 8 do godziny 19🙂kontakt telefoniczny 512 777 884 🙂", "timestamp": 1747506554, "comments_count": 0, "reactions_count": 0, "reshare_count": 5, "reactions": { "angry": 0, "care": 0, "haha": 0, "like": 0, "love": 0, "sad": 0, "wow": 0 }, "author": { "id": "100063543614476", "name": "Komis Skup sprzedaż Złota", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/LombardOlkusz", "profile_picture_url": "https://scontent.fjoi2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-1/407757874_870519151742864_2776592356750657064_n.jpg?stp=c5.0.296.296a_cp0_dst-jpg_s40x40_tt6&_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=2d3e12&_nc_ohc=s9jkZhdtE8UQ7kNvwEd3zfi&_nc_oc=AdlWbNIsuhWxitgvbCaoYFcFm1t-tYv8XvDB2xqg3KB9JAFF3pYgdPOgW9n867wIbHE&_nc_zt=24&_nc_ht=scontent.fjoi2-1.fna&_nc_gid=WulJOcwYpO0fAOZLcpiL5A&oh=00_AfInXs15Z7HBNtnrBTGZZNADP4a-92sEcf9p2Tv7X_eXng&oe=683DD47F" }, "image": { "uri": "https://scontent.fjoi2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/497953614_1296377415823700_2526818784636674285_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&_nc_ohc=LuYd41ewU-YQ7kNvwG6ewx8&_nc_oc=Adk-2n8IoI88YeY3H4HzF7-10Fl4DV6fS8KRHST0eH6Toru7J-1XzVqPOR_sMzm_aCg&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent.fjoi2-1.fna&_nc_gid=WulJOcwYpO0fAOZLcpiL5A&oh=00_AfIMc9cL70rneQBXZYS12qsX9GBJ8wS2WsM2bA-kpPGnyg&oe=683DD55C", "height": 296, "width": 307 }, "video": null, "album_preview": null, "video_files": null, "video_thumbnail": null, "external_url": null, "attached_event": null, "attached_post": null, "attached_post_url": null, "scrapedAt": "2025-05-29T08:18:48.641Z" }, ... ] ``` ### Example Usage ```json { "page_id": "100063543614476", "maxResults": 3 } ``` ### Notes - The actor will automatically paginate through results until `maxResults` is reached or no more data is available. - Make sure the page ID is correct and the page is public. - Posts are returned in chronological order. - Date filtering is optional but recommended for better performance. # Actor input Schema ## `page_id` (type: `string`): The Facebook page ID to scrape posts from. ## `start_date` (type: `string`): Optional start date (yyyy-mm-dd) to filter posts. ## `end_date` (type: `string`): Optional end date (yyyy-mm-dd) to filter posts. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of posts to fetch (auto pagination). ## Actor input object example ```json { "page_id": "100063543614476", "maxResults": 3 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("powerai/facebook-page-posts-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/udA8UidvXIKpN2yNS/builds/SNVKexVh3HVWwq3Uz/openapi.json
