## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

             ✅ SUCCESS → Charged + Saved
             ❌ FAILED  → Not charged, warning logged
```

**Login wall detection** — if Facebook redirects to a login page, the actor automatically detects this, skips the URL, and does **not charge** for it.

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Do I need a Facebook account or login?**
No. This scraper extracts publicly visible page data only. No account, session, or cookie is needed.

**Q: What is SERP mode and how does it work?**
In SERP mode, you type any keyword (e.g. "dentist clinic London"). The actor searches Google for `site:facebook.com dentist clinic London`, collects all matching Facebook page URLs from the results, then scrapes each one automatically. No manual URL collection needed.

**Q: Why are some fields null or empty?**
Not all Facebook pages publish every data point publicly. Pages without a listed email, phone, or website will return empty arrays for those fields. Follower/like counts may be null if Facebook does not expose them in the public page HTML without login.

**Q: What is `status: "partial"`?**
Partial means the page was successfully fetched and some data was extracted, but the page name could not be confidently identified. All other available fields are still populated and the result is still charged.

**Q: What happens if Facebook shows a login wall?**
The actor detects login walls automatically. If both fetch strategies (desktop and mbasic) are blocked by a login wall, the URL is skipped and **you are not charged**.

**Q: What phone number formats are supported?**
All international formats are supported. Numbers are normalized to international format (e.g. `+1 503-671-6453`, `+44 20 7946 0958`).

**Q: Can I scrape Facebook groups?**
Yes. Group URLs are supported and the `profileType` field will return `"group"`.

**Q: How many profiles can I scrape in one run?**
Set `maxResults` to any number. There is no hard limit per run.

**Q: Can I export to Excel or CSV?**
Yes. All results are in the Apify dataset and can be exported to CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, or XML from the Apify Console.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
