Facebook Email Scraper

Facebook Email Scraper extracts structured records in bulk and exports them for analysis, enrichment and downstream pipelines. It covers instagram, search, results, hashtags, places, profiles, popular, reels, returns, metadata, discovery, analysis, performs, keyword-based, searches, across, types, term, topic, outputs.

Built for teams that need rich, including, name, category, contact, details, geocoordinates, address without maintaining scrapers, proxies or browser infrastructure themselves.

Quick start (SDK examples)

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("facebook-email-scraper").call(run_input={"targets": ["<target>"], "maxResults": 100})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" });
const run = await client.actor("facebook-email-scraper").call({ targets: ["<target>"], maxResults: 100 });
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

What it does

• Extract instagram, search, results, hashtags, places, profiles into structured rows.
• Enrich each record with popular, reels, returns, metadata, discovery, analysis.
• Bulk export covering performs, keyword-based, searches, across, types, term.
• Pipeline integration for topic, outputs, rich, including, name, category.
• Downstream analysis across contact, details, geocoordinates, address, opening, hours.
• Recurring monitoring of recent, posts, account, identifiers, username, follower.
• Deduplicated output keyed on the record identifier.
• Configurable result caps and runtime bounds.

Use cases

• Lead generation — build contactable lists covering instagram, search, results, hashtags, places
• Data enrichment — attach profiles, popular, reels, returns, metadata to an existing record set
• Market research — map discovery, analysis, performs, keyword-based, searches across a category or region
• Competitive monitoring — track across, types, term, topic, outputs over time on a schedule
• AI and RAG pipelines — feed clean structured rows into embeddings and retrieval
• Warehousing — land rich, including, name, category, contact into BigQuery, Snowflake or Postgres

Input

Provide targets as a list of URLs or identifiers, one per line.

input	purpose
targets	URLs or identifiers to process, one per line
maxResults	hard cap on returned rows
maxSeconds	runtime bound for the run
includeEmpty	return rows that resolved to no data, or skip them

Output

Every run writes a dataset exportable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or readable directly from the Apify API. Attach a webhook to push results into your own system as soon as a run finishes.

Integrations

Works with Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, and any HTTP endpoint via webhooks. The Apify MCP server exposes this Actor to AI agents directly.

Performance and limits

Runs are concurrent and bounded by maxResults and maxSeconds. Proxy rotation and retry handling are managed for you. Failed targets are reported rather than silently dropped.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account or cookies?

No. The Actor reads public data only and requires no login, cookies or personal API keys.

What formats can I export?

CSV, Excel, JSON, or read the dataset straight from the Apify API.

What does a row contain?

Every row carries instagram, search, results, hashtags, places, profiles, popular, reels where available.

Can I schedule it?

Yes. Attach a schedule or a webhook and the dataset is produced on your cadence.

How do I limit cost?

Use maxResults to cap returned rows and maxSeconds to bound runtime.

Is the output stable?

Field names are fixed by the dataset schema, so downstream pipelines do not break between runs.

Field glossary

email — the email associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. name — the name associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. url — the url associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. domain — the domain associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. title — the title associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. spend — the spend associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. platforms — the platforms associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. impressions — the impressions associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. currency — the currency associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. ad_id — the ad id associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. page_name — the page name associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. start_date — the start date associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. end_date — the end date associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift. scrapedAt — the scrapedAt associated with the record. Present on every row where the source exposes it; absent values are returned as null rather than omitted, so column order stays stable across runs and downstream schemas do not drift.

Troubleshooting

• Empty dataset — Check that targets contains reachable identifiers and that includeEmpty is set the way you expect.
• Run times out — Lower maxResults or raise maxSeconds; very large target lists are better split across scheduled runs.
• Missing fields — Not every source exposes every field. Absent values are returned as null so the schema stays stable.
• Rate limiting — Proxy rotation is automatic. If a source throttles hard, reduce concurrency and retry.
• Duplicate rows — Output is deduplicated on the record identifier; duplicates across separate runs are expected by design.

Data quality notes

Records are parsed from public sources covering instagram, search, results, hashtags, places, profiles, popular, reels, returns, metadata. Values are returned exactly as published rather than normalised or inferred, so you can audit any row back to its source URL. Timestamps are ISO-8601 UTC. Numeric counters are integers. No field is synthesised when the source does not publish it.

Scheduling and automation

Attach a schedule to run this Actor hourly, daily or weekly. Combine it with a webhook to push each finished dataset into your warehouse, CRM or Slack channel automatically. Runs are idempotent with respect to their input, so a repeated schedule produces a comparable dataset rather than a drifting one.

Support

Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab. Include the run ID and the input used so it can be reproduced.
