Facebook Reactions Scraper ⚡ — Profile, Post & Reel Reaction Summary

Extract Facebook reactions from public profile inputs, posts, and reels with one summary row per discovered post or reel. This Facebook reactions scraper accepts one mixed input box for usernames, profile/page URLs, direct post URLs, and direct reel URLs, and returns exact per-type reaction counts only when Facebook exposes them.

Why Use This Facebook Reactions Scraper?

Most Facebook reactions tools either stop at a total reaction count or split one content item into many dataset rows. This Facebook reactions scraper keeps one clean row per discovered Facebook post or Facebook reel while still exposing Facebook reaction type detail, engagement percentages, and creator context. It works for direct URLs and for profile inputs where you choose how many posts and reels to collect.

How This Facebook Reactions Scraper Works

1. Provide usernames, profile/page URLs, direct post URLs, direct media URLs, or direct reel URLs in one input field.
2. The Facebook reactions scraper resolves each input as either a direct post, a direct reel, or a profile source.
3. For profile sources, it collects up to your chosen posts_count and reels_count limits.
4. It extracts total Facebook reactions, comments, shares, and any public Facebook reaction type breakdown.
5. It calculates Facebook reaction percentages by type plus engagement mix percentages for reactions, comments, and shares.
6. It writes one summary row per discovered post or reel and charges one PPE row per pushed summary row.

What This Facebook Reactions Scraper Returns

For each discovered Facebook post or Facebook reel, this Facebook reactions scraper returns:

• Facebook reaction totals for the source URL
• Facebook reaction counts by type when Facebook exposes exact per-type counts
• Facebook reaction percentages by type relative to total reactions when exact per-type counts are available
• Comment count and share count totals
• Engagement mix percentages showing how much of total engagement comes from reactions, comments, and shares
• Dominant Facebook reaction type and its percentage share
• Creator name, creator ID, creator URL, and verification state
• Explicit profile-link fields for both post and reel owners
• Canonical post or reel URL plus content ID
• Reels-only play counts when the source is a Facebook reel
• A reaction_breakdown_has_exact_counts flag when Facebook does not expose exact per-type counts in the raw response
• Reaction types missing from the raw Facebook response are left out instead of being guessed as 0
