💬🤖 Facebook Comments Scraper with Replies + AI

Scrape public Facebook comments AND replies from any post, photo, reel, or video — with per-comment reaction breakdowns, threaded replies flattened into their own rows, powerful filters, and optional AI enrichment (sentiment, language, topics, spam detection, lead scoring).

This is the most complete Facebook comment scraper / Facebook comments extractor for social listening, brand monitoring, market research, lead generation, sentiment analysis, and dataset building — without the Facebook Graph API.

✨ Why this scraper

• Comments and replies — every top-level comment and every nested reply becomes its own dataset row (type, isReply, replyToId, parentId), so threads are trivial to analyze in a spreadsheet or database.
• Deeper threads — follow reply-to-reply chains with maxReplyDepth (1–3).
• Per-comment reaction breakdown — not just a like count: like / love / haha / wow / sad / angry / care for every comment. Competitors only give you a single number.
• Rich data — attachments/media, mentions/tagged users, shares count, author isVerified, repliesHasMore, author IDs & URLs, comment permalinks.
• Filters that actually work — searchKeywords, excludeKeywords, minLikes, authorNameContains, onlyCommentsOlderThan (absolute or relative dates).
• Fair counting — maxComments counts top-level comments only; replies are fetched additionally (bounded by maxRepliesPerComment), so replies never eat your comment budget.
• AI enrichment (optional) — bring your own key for Claude, OpenAI/ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity, or Mistral (auto-detected from the model name). Adds aiSentiment, aiLanguage, aiTopics, aiIsSpam, aiLeadScore.
• Separate replies dataset — reply rows are mirrored into a per-run replies-<runId> dataset for convenience.
• Residential proxy built in to reduce blocking.
