Apify Actor that finds and scrapes Facebook group data by search terms (via DuckDuckGo) and/or direct group URLs. Output matches the same structure as the reference group_search.json.
Why use this actor?
- Bulk input: Multiple search terms and/or group URLs in one run.
- No proxy by default; automatic fallback to datacenter then residential proxy if the platform blocks.
- Live saving: Results are pushed to the dataset as they are scraped.
- Retries: Exponential backoff and up to 3 retries when using residential proxy.
Input
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| startUrls | array | Yes | List of objects with url. Each url can be a search term (e.g. bmw, tesla) or a Facebook group URL (e.g. https://www.facebook.com/groups/123/). |
| proxyConfiguration | object | No | Apify proxy settings. Default: no proxy. Actor falls back to datacenter then residential if blocked. |
| maxItems | integer | No | Max groups per search term (1–500). Default: 100. |
