Thank you for reaching out with your questions. Here's everything you need to know:

Currently, there are no tutorial videos available for the scraper. However, it’s very simple to use. After renting it, just follow these steps:

• Enter your keyword(s)
• Enter a location (optional, you can leave it blank)
• Specify the domain extension you want to scrape
• Set up or choose your proxy settings

Click the Start Actor button, and you're good to go.

1. You can use the scraper as many times per day as you like, there’s no limit.

2. You do not need to stay logged into Apify or the scraper while it’s running.

3. No, you don’t need to keep your phone or computer running. Everything works on Apify’s servers once you start the scraper.

4. Yes, it can work with Facebook Groups. It's a universal Facebook email scraper. You simply enter the keyword(s), and it will scrape emails from any Facebook webpage that mentions the keyword, including groups, pages, posts, etc.

5. Recommended Proxies: You can use Apify’s built-in proxy service, which works very well. Alternatively, if you want to use your own proxy, I recommend SmartProxy (now called Decodo) or LunaProxy, both are reliable and trustworthy providers.

Important: Before purchasing, make sure the proxy you choose can scrape Google pages, as that's essential for optimal performance.

Let me know if you have any more question, I'm happy to help.

Thank you so much for your response! I'm very grateful for the steps you gave to me to run the actor/scraper.

"Enter a location (optional, you can leave it blank)". Do you mean country or city?

With regards to FB Groups, what are the exact steps to follow to use the actor/scraper to extract email addresses from FB Groups? Also, will I need to log into Facebook to use this actor/scraper?

"...scrape Google pages..."? Do you mean Google pages that are based on this search prompt - keyword "gmail" "location" "FACEBOOK.com"?

What is Apify’s built-in proxy service & where can one find it?

I look forward to your detailed response!

BEST REGARDS!

Thank you for your thoughtful questions. I’m happy to clarify everything for you:

1. Location Input: When the actor asks for a location, you can enter any location—city, region, or country. It’s optional, so you can leave it blank if it’s not relevant to your search.

2. By default, the current actor is not specifically designed to extract email addresses from Facebook Groups. However, if that’s a key requirement for your use case, I’d be happy to explore adding that functionality. Let me know if you’d like to proceed in that direction.

In the meantime, you can try entering keywords like “beauty group” or similar in the search field to target group-related content on Facebook.

3. Yes, that’s correct.

This helps extract publicly visible email addresses associated with Facebook-related content.

4. Apify offers a built-in proxy service. Free accounts come with around $5 of monthly credit, which is often sufficient for smaller projects.

In the actor settings, you can choose between:

No proxy – Works in some cases.

Apify’s special proxy – Automatically used if "No proxy" fails. You can set this under the "Proxy configuration" section of the actor.

Please feel free to reach out if you need help customizing the actor or if you have any other questions.

Thank you so much for your response!

"Let me know if you’d like to proceed in that direction.". Yes. I do.

"Yes, that’s correct. This helps extract publicly visible email addresses associated with Facebook-related content.". Does this still produce unlimited results?

I look forward to your detailed response!

BEST REGARDS!

1. No problem, I can add it. Just explain your requirements in more detail, and I’ll build it and update the actor within the next 24 hours.

2. Yes, exactly, as long as you can provide multiple variations of the keyword, it can scrape successfully.

However, for your custom requirements, it looks like you want to scrape via group URLs. Just give me a bit of time, I’ll build it and get back to you soon (24 hours max).

"No problem, I can add it. Just explain your requirements in more detail, and I’ll build it and update the actor within the next 24 hours.". OK. I specifically want to scrape the emails of members of FB Groups. For instance, I'd like to scrape the emails of ALL the members of a Facebook group like this one - https://www.facebook.com/groups/174768118635220/. Will that be possible? Will the scraper/actor be able to scrape ALL of the emails in one day? If not, how many will it scrape at the most in one day from such a group?

"Yes, exactly, as long as you can provide multiple variations of the keyword, it can scrape successfully.". OK.

"However, for your custom requirements, it looks like you want to scrape via group URLs. Just give me a bit of time, I’ll build it and get back to you soon (24 hours max).". OK. Will that be an additional cost to this scraper or will it be a separate cost for a different scraper altogether?

Also, will I need to log into Facebook to be able to use this actor/scraper?

BEST REGARDS!

I can create a custom actor to scrape the emails for you. The cost would be approximately $20, as that actor would be much more complex. However, in order to access the member lists of Facebook groups, you’ll need to provide your Facebook login credentials or cookies, as this information isn’t available without logging in. For security and privacy, you can use a secondary or dummy Facebook account.

OK. Will it work every day of the year? If not, when will it expire? Will I need to pay $20 every time I want to use it or is it just $20 per month? Where will I need to provide my FB login credentials? In the actor/scraper?

BEST REGARDS!

1. For now the scraper will cost you $20 per month. But if you wanna pay once and use it forever, i can do that as well, just lemme know whether you're interested in that also or not.

2. Yes you need to put the credentials in the actor.

"For now the scraper will cost you $20 per month. But if you wanna pay once and use it forever, i can do that as well, just lemme know whether you're interested in that also or not." The monthly cost is fine but if I want to pay once and use forever, how much will that cost?

"Yes you need to put the credentials in the actor.". OK.

BEST REGARDS!

For one-time payment, it would cost you about $99. Pay once and use it forever.

"For one-time payment, it would cost you about $99. Pay once and use it forever.". OK. Payment link, please? Will this actor/scraper come with video tutorials?

BEST REGARDS!

I can create video guides for you. After developing the scraper, I’ll send you a payment link. For a secure transaction for both of us, you can also pay me through Apify. I’ll create a dummy actor to receive the payment. Once the payment is complete, I’ll share the scraper with you via email or Google Drive.

Here’s my email: scrapermindapi@gmail.com

OK. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the video guides. When should I expect the payment link from you? Will the scraper be exclusive to me alone?

BEST REGARDS!

Another thing I just wanted to ask: the scraper will check each group member’s profile to see whether they’ve listed an email address, right? Also, do you want the scraper to collect only email addresses, or should it also extract social media links and phone numbers if they’re available in the profile?

For exclusivity, I can make this scraper just for you, no problem. Give me about one day to build it and send you the payment link.

"Another thing I just wanted to ask: the scraper will check each group member’s profile to see whether they’ve listed an email address, right?" Yes! "Also, do you want the scraper to collect only email addresses, or should it also extract social media links and phone numbers if they’re available in the profile?" Only email addresses will be OK but if it can also "extract social media links and phone numbers if they’re available in the profile", that'll be fine too. Will that cost extra?

"For exclusivity, I can make this scraper just for you, no problem. Give me about one day to build it and send you the payment link.". OK. Only asked because I wanted to know if I could rent it out too.

BEST REGARDS!

1. No to extract phone numbers, social media links, it won't cost extra $.
2. Yeah no problem you can rent it also.

"No to extract phone numbers, social media links, it won't cost extra $.". OK. Then, it's OK for you to add that feature where it can "extract social media links and phone numbers if they’re available in the profile".

"Yeah no problem you can rent it also.". Nice. Expecting your 'call'/message with the payment link tomorrow.

BEST REGARDS!

Sorry to ask but what's the maximum number of emails the scraper/actor will be able to extract in a day from any FB Group as large as or larger than this one - https://www.facebook.com/groups/174768118635220/?

BEST REGARDS!

Scraping 100K individual profiles data isn’t a major issue, you can scrape as many as you want, provided you’re using high-quality proxies. The real challenge lies in extracting users from the group members tab. As far as I know, Facebook only displays up to 10,000 members in that section. So, the tool can extract those visible profiles and then visit each one to check if any contact information (email, phone number, or social links) is listed. Hope that helps!

OK. Thank you for your response. So, is there a way to extract more than 10k members' data from the same FB Group?

BEST REGARDS!

yeah it shows about the most recently joined 10K members, so if you try after 1 week, you will see new set of members.

Hi, I didn’t hear back from you regarding the latest info. Let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll share the script shortly. Thanks!

Huh? I thought we agreed for you to go ahead and build the scraper/actor with the extra features you mentioned ( "extract social media links and phone numbers if they’re available in the profile"), that it'll cost $99, you'll build it in 24 hrs and that, you'd send me the payment link after you'd built it. I'm sorry for missing anything but I really don't what else I missed.

BEST REGARDS!

I just wanted to clarify — in my previous message, I was referring to how Facebook currently displays the most recently joined 10,000 members in a group's members tab. So the scraper would be limited to accessing that subset of users.

Would that be acceptable for your use case? The script is almost done (like extracting facebook members) except the extracting email from the user profile part. I wanted to confirm before proceeding. Thanks.

Oh! That! Sorry about that! I already accepted 'my fate' with regards to that. 😅. So, no problem with that. I was just hoping that, maybe there could be a work around. So, please go ahead with building the scraper/actor.

BEST REHATDS!

Oh! Just remembered. Will it also be possible add the feature of extracting first and last names or, at least, just the first name?

BEST REGARDS!

yes it will have full name, user name, their profiles, email, social links, phone numbers, etc.

AWESOME! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!

BEST REGARDS!

Hello? I meant I'm Ok with the 10k-email-scraping thing and that, you can go ahead with building the scraper/actor.

BEST REGARDS!

It's done, I'm just doing some last-minute checks and fixing a few bugs.

GREAT! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍! Looking forward to your finished work.

BEST REGARDS!

Here’s the custom actor for you: https://apify.com/scraper-mind/facebook-group-members-lead-scraper

I’ll share the video tutorials with you shortly (likely in 5–6 hours). Also, I’ll host this facebook group members lead scraper in your account once the payment is complete, so you won’t need to pay a monthly fee.

Talk soon, have a great day.

OK. FANTASTIC! 👍👍👍👍! However, isn't $100/month kinda steep? Are there actors on Apify that cost that much? I'm afraid of scaring people off! Awaiting the payment link and video tutorials!

BEST REGARDS!

Hello there. Sorry to ask but how will you host this facebook group members lead scraper in my account? Will I need to give you my Apify login details for that?

BEST REGARDS!

The member scraping part is working well, and email extraction from user profiles is functioning as expected. However, since we visit thousands of profiles per session to extract emails, Facebook flags the activity as spam and ends up suspending the account.

For example, if we extract 10,000 members from a group without visiting their profiles, the account stays safe. But once we start visiting each profile to extract emails or phone numbers, that’s when Facebook suspends the account.

"However, isn't $100/month kinda steep? Are there actors on Apify that cost that much? I'm afraid of scaring people off! Awaiting the payment link and video tutorials!"

You're only paying me once, just this month. Once I receive the payment, I’ll delete the actor from my account and upload it to yours. From that point on, you’ll own it completely. You can use it however you like, however you price it, even resell it if you want.

Regarding Hosting on Your Apify Account

"Hello there. Sorry to ask but how will you host this Facebook group members lead scraper in my account? Will I need to give you my Apify login details for that?"

Yes, when the time comes, you’ll need to share your Apify credentials so I can upload the actor to your account.

Let me know your thoughts on the first issue, the account suspension when visiting too many profiles.

1. "The member scraping part is working well, and email extraction from user profiles is functioning as expected. However, since we visit thousands of profiles per session to extract emails, Facebook flags the activity as spam and ends up suspending the account.

But once we start visiting each profile to extract emails or phone numbers, that’s when Facebook suspends the account." So, if I get you right, the full name, user name & their profiles can be extracted but their emails can't be extracted at all? OK. Something is A LOT BETTER than nothing! However, is there still a way on Apify to extract the emails from their extracted profiles?

I was referring to the price for others to rent it from me after I buy it from you.

BEST REGARDS!

1. Yes, it’s possible to scrape full name, username, profile URL, verification status, and similar details. The challenge is with emails, Facebook hides the About section (like this: https://web.facebook.com/cristiny.cris.1/about_contact_and_basic_info) unless you're logged in. However, some users do list their phone numbers and websites directly on their profile pages (https://web.facebook.com/cristiny.cris.1/), good part is that we can scrape these pages without login. If an email isn’t visible but a website is listed, we can visit that site to look for an email address cz most probably that webpage is related to her.

That said, the quality of emails collected this way can vary. You might expect to get around 200–500 valid emails out of 10,000 profiles using this method.

2. Once I hand over the script, you’re free to charge any price you want—$10, $20, etc.

3. No problem. I can either create a step-by-step video tutorial so you can set it up yourself, or you can create a secondary account and share the credentials with me, and I’ll deploy everything for you.

So, only email extraction is the challenge, but profile extraction isn't? OK. Is there still a way (an actor) on Apify to extract the emails from the extracted profiles?

2. "Once I hand over the script, you’re free to charge any price you want—$10, $20, etc.". OK. So, I've total control over the pricing? Nice! What price would you advice based on your experience here on Apify?

3. "No problem. I can either create a step-by-step video tutorial so you can set it up yourself, or you can create a secondary account and share the credentials with me, and I’ll deploy everything for you.". OK. I set up my login credentials before your latest response. Just let me know when you're ready with the payment link & I'll send them to you. However, is there a SECURE WAY to send them to you outside this page?

BEST REGARDS!

1. "Is there an actor on Apify that can extract emails from the profiles?" I don't know of any such actor.

2. $20 seems like a fair price. That said, you can always A/B test different pricing options to see what works best.

3. Please subscribe to this actor: (http://apify.com/scraper-mind/facebook-group-members---payment-link). It's a dummy actor set up solely to receive your payment. After subscribing, just send me a screenshot for confirmation.

4. Just email me your credentials at: scrapermindapi@gmail.com.
