📘 Facebook Page Scraper – Extract Page Info, Contacts, Likes & Ratings

The Facebook Page Scraper extracts complete public profile data from any Facebook page or profile URL you give it — page name, category, intro, follower and like counts, address, phone number, email, website, ratings and business details — and returns it as a clean structured dataset. Paste a list of Facebook page URLs, press Start, and you get a row per page instead of forty browser tabs and a half-finished spreadsheet.

This Facebook page scraper is aimed at people who need Facebook business data at scale: lead-generation teams building local-business contact lists, agencies auditing client and competitor pages, market researchers mapping a category across a city, and analysts tracking follower growth and review sentiment. It reads only what a logged-out visitor can see on a public Facebook page, and it needs no cookies, session tokens or Facebook login of any kind.

📊 What Data Can You Extract with This Facebook Page Scraper?

Each dataset item is one Facebook page. The fields fall into seven groups:

Category	Fields	What it tells you
🆔 Page identity	pageId, pageName, title, facebookId, pageUrl, facebookUrl	The numeric page ID, the URL handle, the display name and the canonical page links
📝 Description & classification	intro, categories, category, info, creation_date	The page's own intro blurb, its Facebook category labels, assorted info strings and the page creation date
📈 Audience metrics	likes, followers, followings, talkingAbout, wereHere	Like count, follower count, accounts followed, current engagement volume and physical check-in count
☎️ Contact details	phone, email, website, websites, messenger, address, addressUrl	The public contact block a business publishes on its page, including the mapped address link
⭐ Reputation	rating, ratings, ratingOverall, ratingCount	Recommendation percentage, aggregate rating values and how many ratings back them
🏪 Business attributes	priceRange, services, business_hours, business_price, business_services	Price band, listed services and opening hours as published on the page
🖼️ Media & cross-channel	profilePictureUrl, coverPhotoUrl, profilePhoto, instagram, alternativeSocialMedia, pageAdLibrary, ad_status	Profile and cover imagery, linked Instagram and other social profiles, and Facebook Ad Library references

The field that makes this scraper unusually valuable for lead generation is email. Facebook pages for local businesses very often publish a contact email that appears nowhere on the business's own website, and it is returned here alongside phone, address and website in a single record — a complete contact row with no enrichment step required.

🚀 Why Choose This Facebook Page Scraper?

Contact data and audience data in one record. Most tools give you either the follower counts or the contact block. This Facebook page scraper returns email, phone, address and website in the same row as followers, likes and ratingCount, so a single export is already a qualified lead list rather than raw metrics.

Genuine bulk processing. The profileUrls input is a list, not a single URL. Feed it fifty pages or five hundred and the run processes them in sequence, producing one clean dataset instead of dozens of separate exports to stitch together.

No login, no cookies, no session management. Approaches that require you to paste a Facebook session cookie break the moment that session expires and put your own account at risk. This actor reads public pages only, so there is nothing to refresh and nothing tied to your identity.

Rich local-business detail. For brick-and-mortar pages the scraper captures address, addressUrl, business_hours, priceRange and wereHere — the exact fields that make Facebook data useful for local SEO, footfall research and location intelligence.

💻 How to Use the Facebook Page Scraper (Step by Step)

Step 1: Collect the Facebook Page URLs You Want to Scrape

Start by assembling your list of target pages. These can come from a Facebook search, a directory export, an existing CRM, or a competitor list you maintain manually. What matters is that each URL points at a page or profile root — https://www.facebook.com/pagename — rather than a specific post, photo or tab. Both www.facebook.com and web.facebook.com hosts are accepted, so links copied from mobile or from a regional Facebook mirror will work unchanged.

Step 2: Paste the URLs into the profileUrls Field

Open the actor's input tab and add your URLs to the profileUrls list, one per line. The field is prefilled with a few example pages so you can see the expected format; clear those before adding your own. There is no upper limit imposed by the input schema, but a first run of five to ten pages is the sensible way to confirm you get the fields you expect.

Step 3: Start the Facebook Scraper Run

Press Start. The actor processes each URL in turn, requesting the public page and parsing the structured data embedded in it. Proxy rotation happens automatically in the background, so there is nothing to configure. The log reports each page as it completes, which makes it easy to spot a URL that failed to resolve.

Step 4: Review the Dataset in Table View

Once the run finishes, open the Dataset tab and switch to table view. Check the columns that matter most for your use case — for lead generation that means email, phone and website; for competitive analysis it means followers, likes and talkingAbout. Blank cells are normal and tell you the page simply does not publish that detail.

Step 5: Filter and Clean the Facebook Page Data

Not every scraped page will be useful. Filter out records where the fields you need are null, and de-duplicate on pageId if your input list might contain the same page under two URL spellings. pageId is the stable identifier here — pageName handles can change, but the numeric ID does not.

Step 6: Export or Push the Data Downstream

Export as CSV or Excel for manual work, or read the dataset through the Apify API to push it into a CRM, a data warehouse or a Google Sheet. Because email, phone, address and website arrive in the same row, the export is usually import-ready without an intermediate transformation step.

Step 7: Schedule Recurring Runs to Track Page Changes

Follower counts, ratings and opening hours all change. Schedule the same profileUrls list to run weekly or monthly and keep each dataset. Joining runs on pageId gives you a time series for followers, likes, ratingCount and rating — which is how you spot a competitor's growth spurt or a client's review problem while it is still small.

🔌 API Access & Integrations

Trigger the Facebook page scraper from your own application. The synchronous endpoint starts a run and returns dataset items in one request:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers-hub~facebook-page-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "profileUrls": [
      "https://www.facebook.com/copperkettleyqr/",
      "https://www.facebook.com/zuck"
    ]
  }'

Using the official Python client:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")

run_input = {
    "profileUrls": [
        "https://www.facebook.com/copperkettleyqr/",
        "https://web.facebook.com/leomessi",
    ]
}

run = client.actor("scrapers-hub/facebook-page-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item.get("title"), item.get("email"), item.get("followers"))

The actor works with Apify's standard integrations for Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Slack and generic webhooks, so a finished Facebook scraping run can drop new leads straight into your CRM or a channel.

💡 Best Use Cases for Facebook Page Data

🎯 Local Business Lead Generation

Build contact lists for outbound sales by scraping Facebook pages in a target category and city. email, phone, website and address give you a complete contact row, while likes and followers let you qualify by business size before anyone picks up the phone.

🔍 Competitor Monitoring and Benchmarking

Track a set of competitor pages over time using followers, likes, talkingAbout and ratingCount. The talkingAbout figure is particularly telling — it reflects current engagement rather than accumulated audience, so a spike there usually means a campaign has launched or something has gone viral.

⭐ Review and Reputation Analysis

rating, ratingOverall and ratingCount give you the recommendation percentage together with its sample size. Comparing these across a category shows which businesses have genuine reputation strength versus a high score based on a handful of reviews.

📍 Location Intelligence and Market Mapping

For physical businesses, address, addressUrl and wereHere support geographic analysis. Plotting check-in counts against location reveals which venues in a district actually draw footfall, which is valuable for site selection and franchise planning.

🏪 Business Listing Audits

Agencies managing many client pages can scrape them all in one run and check business_hours, phone, website and priceRange for accuracy. Stale opening hours and dead website links are among the most common and most damaging local-listing errors, and this turns a manual audit into a filter on a spreadsheet column.

📣 Advertising and Cross-Channel Research

pageAdLibrary and ad_status indicate a page's connection to Facebook's Ad Library, while instagram and alternativeSocialMedia reveal which other channels a brand runs. Together they show you which competitors are actively advertising and where else they are investing attention.

📊 Market Sizing by Category

Scrape a wide set of pages in one vertical and aggregate categories, followers and likes. The resulting distribution tells you how concentrated a market is — whether a handful of pages hold most of the audience, or whether attention is spread thin across many small players.

⚙️ Tips for Better Facebook Page Scraping Results

• Use page-root URLs only. Links to a specific post, photo, video or the /about tab may not resolve to the page profile. Trim the URL back to facebook.com/pagename before adding it to profileUrls.
• Batch in moderate sizes. Very large URL lists work, but splitting them into batches of a few hundred makes failures easier to isolate and lets you re-run only the portion that needs it.
• Treat pageId as the primary key. Handles in pageName can be changed by the page owner; the numeric pageId is stable and is the correct field for de-duplication and joins across runs.
• Do not assume email will be populated. Only a minority of pages publish a contact email. Filter for non-null email when building a mailing list rather than expecting full coverage.
• Check ratingCount before trusting rating. A 100% recommendation rate on four reviews is noise. Set a minimum review threshold before using ratings comparatively.
• Verify the page is public. Private profiles, region-restricted pages and pages that have been removed will not return full data. If a record comes back mostly empty, open the URL in a logged-out browser to confirm what is actually visible.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Most fields came back null for one of my pages. The page probably restricts what it shows to logged-out visitors, or it is a personal profile rather than a business page. Open the URL in a private browser window with no Facebook session — whatever you cannot see there is what the scraper cannot collect.

The email field is empty for nearly every page. That is normal. Facebook does not require pages to publish an email, and many businesses deliberately route contact through Messenger instead. The scraper returns the field when the page publishes it and null when it does not.

One URL in my list produced no record at all. Check the URL resolves. Deleted pages, renamed handles, pages restricted to certain countries and URLs pointing at a post rather than a page will all fail. The run log names the URL that failed so you can correct and re-run just that one.

followers and likes show the same number. On many pages Facebook reports these identically, because historically a like implied a follow. It is not a scraping error — it reflects what the page displays.

A large run seems slow. Each URL is a separate request against Facebook and the actor paces requests to stay reliable. For large lists, use an Apify schedule to run overnight rather than waiting on an interactive run.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Facebook Page Scraping

What does the Facebook Page Scraper do? It takes a list of public Facebook page or profile URLs and returns structured data for each one — name, category, intro, follower and like counts, contact details, ratings, business hours, price range and imagery links.

Do I need a Facebook account or login to use this Facebook scraper? No. It reads only publicly visible page data. There is no login, no cookie and no access token required, so nothing is tied to your personal Facebook account.

Can I scrape multiple Facebook pages in one run? Yes. profileUrls is a list — add as many page URLs as you need and the run processes them all into one dataset.

Does the Facebook page scraper extract email addresses? It returns the email field when the page publishes a contact email in its public info section. Many pages do not, so expect partial coverage rather than an email for every record.

Can it scrape posts, comments or reviews? No. The output fields cover the page profile itself — identity, metrics, contact details, ratings and business attributes. Individual posts, comment threads and review text are not among the returned fields.

What is the difference between likes, followers and talkingAbout? likes is the cumulative like count, followers is the number of accounts following the page, and talkingAbout reflects recent engagement volume. The first two accumulate over time; the third moves with current activity.

Does it work with web.facebook.com URLs? Yes. Both www.facebook.com and web.facebook.com URLs are accepted, so links copied from mobile or regional mirrors work without editing.

Do I need to set up proxies? No. Proxy rotation is handled automatically by the actor and is not user-configurable.

Can I scrape personal Facebook profiles? The input accepts profile URLs, and public figure profiles typically return data. Private personal profiles show almost nothing to logged-out visitors, so those records will be largely empty.

How do I track a page's follower growth over time? Schedule the same profileUrls list on a recurring basis and store each dataset. Join runs on pageId and you have a follower and rating time series.

What export formats are available for the Facebook data? Apify datasets export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS and HTML, and are also readable through the Apify API and official clients.

Why do some records have business_hours and others do not? Opening hours only appear for pages that have configured them, which is generally local businesses rather than public figures or media pages. The field is null when the page has none.

Does this Facebook scraper use a headless browser? No. It uses direct HTTP requests with HTML parsing, which keeps runs lightweight and quick to start.

Is scraping public Facebook pages legal? The actor accesses only publicly visible page content. How you use that data is your responsibility, including compliance with Facebook's terms of service and applicable privacy law. Read the disclaimer below before building a contact list.

Can I connect the Facebook page scraper to my CRM? Yes. Use the Apify API directly, or one of the standard integrations for Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Slack or webhooks to push each finished run into your systems.
