## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Facebook Likes and Reactions Scraper

A robust and scalable Apify actor designed to scrape reactions (like, love, haha, wow, sad, angry) and user profiles from Facebook posts.

### Why Choose Us?
- Completely automated scaling and retry mechanisms.
- Smart fallback proxies to handle blocking from Facebook.
- Fast and highly concurrent web scraping.

### Key Features
- Supports extracting all reaction types from a given post dynamically.
- Handles Javascript token extraction dynamically natively simulating human browsers.
- Automatically handles Datacenter and Residential proxy fallback mechanisms.
- Supports bulk URL processing.

### Input Example
You can configure the following input variables in JSON form:

```json
{
  "urls": [{"url": "https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10117197689958261"}],
  "resultsLimit": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
````

- `urls`: List of Facebook post URLs to scrape.
- `resultsLimit`: The maximum number of reactions to extract per URL.
- `proxyConfiguration`: Default proxy configurations (fallback logic is handled automatically internally).

### Output Example

Returns structured JSON dataset items containing detailed reaction lists:

```json
{
    "postId": "10117197689958261",
    "facebookUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/pfbid067YZ4Yq... ",
    "reaction": "love",
    "name": "Soleio",
    "profileUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/soleio",
    "facebookId": "10117197689958261",
    "inputUrl": "https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10117197689958261"
}
```

### 🚀 How to Use the Actor (via Apify Console)

1. Log in at https://console.apify.com and go to Actors.
2. Find your actor and click it.
3. Configure inputs (URLs, Limit).
4. Run the actor.
5. Monitor logs in real time.
6. Access results in the OUTPUT tab.
7. Export results to JSON or CSV.

### Cautions

- Data is collected only from publicly available sources.
- No data is taken from private accounts or password-protected content.
- The end user is responsible for ensuring legal compliance (spam laws, privacy, data protection, etc.).

# Actor input Schema

## `urls` (type: `array`):

List one or more Facebook URLs to scrape reactions from. Example: `https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10117197689958261` 📝

## `resultsLimit` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of reactions to collect per URL. 📈

## `c_user` (type: `string`):

Your Facebook session cookie `c_user` (the numeric user ID). Copy it from your browser DevTools → Application → Cookies → www.facebook.com. Required to authenticate the scraper against Facebook's GraphQL API. 🔑

## `xs` (type: `string`):

Your Facebook session cookie `xs` (URL-encoded session token). Copy it from your browser DevTools → Application → Cookies → www.facebook.com. Keep it secret — it grants access to your account. 🔐

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings to bypass restrictions. The scraper automatically handles datacenter and residential fallbacks for maximum success rate! 🔐

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/pfbid067YZ4YqVJnKvNFQG15s9fBFbbbGTBxYeP21bbEx29grppcz75A1GWbsTyLwbCM8Yl"
  ],
  "resultsLimit": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "urls": [
        "https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/pfbid067YZ4YqVJnKvNFQG15s9fBFbbbGTBxYeP21bbEx29grppcz75A1GWbsTyLwbCM8Yl"

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
