Scrape public Facebook posts by search query. Extracts post content, engagement metrics, and metadata.

Key Features

  • Bulk search – Multiple queries or URLs in one run
  • Proxy fallback – No proxy by default; auto-fallback to datacenter → residential on block
  • Live saving – Results saved as they’re scraped
  • Retry logic – 3 retries with exponential backoff

}

Output

Each post includes:

  • facebookUrl, pageId, pageName – Page info
  • postId, url, topLevelUrl – Post identifiers
  • time, timestamp – Post date
  • likes, comments, shares – Engagement
  • text, link, thumb – Content
  • searchQuery – Query that matched

  6. Export as JSON or CSV

Proxy Behavior

  • Default: No proxy
  • On block: Datacenter proxy (SHADER)
