Facebook Followers and Following Scraper With Profile Details

Export a Facebook followers list or a Facebook following list from a profile, then turn each person's list subtitle into structured profile details: workplace, city, school, and whether the row is a Page.

This Apify facebook followers scraper / facebook following scraper keeps every field the original list actor already saved (name, photo, profile URL, subtitle, ids) and adds parsed columns you can filter and export to CSV, JSON, or Excel.

What it does

1. Opens the followers and/or following collection on each target Facebook profile (same GraphQL list engine as the base Facebook Followers and Following Scraper).
2. Saves one dataset row per person with the original list fields.
3. Always parses subtitle_text into worksAt, livesIn, studiedAt, and subtitleKind.
4. Optionally (off by default) fetches that person's public About HTML for gender and, on Pages, website or contact strings when they are present in the page.

Follower and following collections are usually login-gated. Pass c_user + xs cookies when the public run returns no rows.

Who it is for

• Audience research on a facebook profile followers or facebook following list
• Separating Facebook Pages from people in a following list
• Mapping workplaces and cities that Facebook already shows on the list row
• Building a facebook audience export without re-parsing a raw subtitle column in a spreadsheet

Input

Field	What it does
startUrls	Facebook profile URLs or usernames. Required. A non-URL string still acts as a name keyword (base behaviour).
collection.followType	both (default), followers, or following.
collection.resultsLimit	Max people per target profile (default 10). Shared across both lists when both is selected.
profileDetails.peopleFilter	all (default), pagesOnly, peopleOnly, hasWorkplace.
profileDetails.nameKeyword	Keep rows whose name or subtitle contains this text.
profileDetails.enrichAbout	Extra About HTML per person. Default false.
profileDetails.maxAboutLookups	Cap on About requests (default 20). Extra rows get aboutStatus=capped.
profileDetails.facebookCookies	Secret session string. No default. Not written to the dataset.
network.proxyConfiguration	Optional Apify proxy.
network.disableDefaultProxy	Skip automatic residential/datacenter fallback.

Nested collection / network keys match the base actor. Flat followType / resultsLimit / proxyConfiguration still work.

Example:

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.facebook.com/zuck"],
  "collection": { "followType": "following", "resultsLimit": 10 },
  "profileDetails": {
    "peopleFilter": "all",
    "enrichAbout": false
  }
}

Output

Each dataset row is one person from the list.

Base fields (always present): username, facebookUrl, followType, id, image, title, subtitle_text, url, privacy_scope, __typename, __isEntity, facebookId, navSections, pageAdLibrary, followersId, followingId, inputUrl.

Profile-detail fields (always present; empty values are null, not invented):

Field	Meaning
worksAt	Workplace parsed from the list subtitle
livesIn	City / hometown when the subtitle is a location
studiedAt	School when the subtitle is education
subtitleKind	workplace / location / education / hometown / other / empty
entityType	GraphQL __typename (User, Page, …)
isPage	true when the entity is a Page
profileUrl	Same value as url
gender	Public gender from About HTML, else null
website	Public website when found
aboutEmail / aboutPhone / aboutCategory	Page About strings when present; usually null on personal profiles
aboutStatus	skipped (default), fetched, empty, failed, or capped
scrapedAt	UTC timestamp for the row

Personal emails and phones are privacy-gated on Facebook. This actor does not invent them.

Notes

• enrichAbout=false does not send per-person About requests. Use that for a cheap list export; structured subtitle columns still fill.
• Dead cookies are dropped; the run continues logged out instead of crashing.
• pageAdLibrary is passed through from the list mapper as in the base actor.
