Facebook User Posts Scraper

Collect posts from a Facebook profile timeline (user or Page-style profile) using its numeric profile id. Each dataset row is one post with text, links, engagement counts, author info, and media-related fields when returned.

Who it’s for

• Researchers sampling what a profile published over time.
• Social teams tracking posts in a spreadsheet-friendly format.
• Automation that already stores profile ids from search or directory data.

What you can do with it

• Target one profile with its numeric id.
• Optionally bound the time range with start and end dates.
• Collect up to your chosen cap; the run loads successive batches until the limit is reached or there are no more rows.

How it works (in plain terms)

You enter the profile id, any date range, and a maximum row count. The tool retrieves posts in batches and continues automatically while more rows exist and your cap allows—you do not manage paging yourself.

Input

Output

• One row per post (until your cap). Duplicate post_id values in the same run are skipped when the same id appears again.
• Post: post_id, type, url (often a /posts/pfbid… style link), message, message_rich (often matches message), timestamp (Unix-style seconds), comments_count, reactions_count, reshare_count.
• Reactions breakdown: reactions with like, love, care, haha, wow, sad, angry when returned.
• Author: author with id, name, url, profile_picture_url. author_title may be null or a string when shown.
• Media / attachments: image, video, video_files, video_thumbnail, album_preview (often null or an array of photo objects with type, image_file_uri, url, id), external_url, attached_event, attached_post, attached_post_url, text_format_metadata.
• Thread ids: comments_id, shares_id (often aligned with post_id for text posts).
• Extra fields: rows may include additional properties beyond those listed.
• Export metadata: requestedProfileId repeats the profile id used for that run; startDate / endDate appear only when you set those inputs; scrapedAt is when that row was saved.

Field availability depends on each post. Details may change as the product evolves.
