Input

{
  "pageUrls": [
    "https://www.facebook.com/newshour/",
    "https://www.facebook.com/nytimes/"
  ],
  "postsToScrape": 100,
  "postsNewerThan": "7 days",
  "includeTranscript": false
}

Input fields

Field	Required	Default	Description
pageUrls	Yes	—	List of public Facebook Page URLs. Add one or many URLs.
postsToScrape	No	100	Maximum number of posts collected per Page.
postsNewerThan	No	—	Optional date filter. Use a relative value such as 7 days, or an absolute UTC date such as 2026-01-01.
postsOlderThan	No	—	Optional date filter: only posts published on or before this date (2026-09-30 includes that whole day, UTC) or relative value such as 30 days. If newer posts must be loaded to reach it, they are charged as out-of-time-frame posts ($1 per 1,000).
includeTranscript	No	false	When enabled, downloads available Facebook video captions and returns videoTranscript.
includeTopComment	No	true	Adds the top comment available for each post.
fetchAllComments	No	false	Collects up to 100 top-level comments of every returned post, in Facebook's "All comments" order. Replies are not included unless fetchCommentReplies is also enabled.
fetchCommentReplies	No	false	Also collects replies to each returned comment. Requires fetchAllComments. Collecting replies can make a run take longer.
onlyNewPosts	No	false	Only new posts on your next run: each run on the same Page gets only posts published after your last run.

Time filter examples

{ "postsNewerThan": "7 days" }

{ "postsNewerThan": "2026-01-01" }

Leave postsNewerThan empty to collect posts without a date filter.

Date range example

{
  "pageUrls": ["https://www.facebook.com/nytimes/"],
  "postsNewerThan": "2026-09-01",
  "postsOlderThan": "2026-09-30",
  "postsToScrape": 100
}

This returns up to 100 posts published from 1 to 30 September 2026 (both days included, UTC).

Pricing note for postsOlderThan: Facebook usually returns a Page's posts from your date directly, so nothing extra is loaded. When it does not, the scraper loads the newer posts first to reach your date. Those posts are not returned, and each one is charged as an out-of-time-frame post at $1 per 1,000 posts. postsOlderThan cannot be combined with onlyNewPosts.

Only new posts on your next run

{
  "pageUrls": ["https://www.facebook.com/nytimes/"],
  "postsToScrape": 100,
  "onlyNewPosts": true
}

Your first run gets posts as usual. Every next run on the same Page gets only posts published after your last run, never the old ones, so you don't pay for them twice. This is ideal for scheduled runs that monitor a Page. Each Apify account keeps its own progress per Page, and different URL forms of the same Page share it. You can combine it with postsNewerThan.

Transcript example

{
  "pageUrls": ["https://www.facebook.com/matchroom/"],
  "postsToScrape": 50,
  "includeTranscript": true
}

Comments and replies example

{
  "pageUrls": ["https://www.facebook.com/nytimes/"],
  "postsToScrape": 20,
  "fetchAllComments": true,
  "fetchCommentReplies": true
}

With fetchAllComments, comments.top_comments holds up to 100 top-level comments of the post (Facebook's "All comments" order), and with fetchCommentReplies also their replies, as one flat list. Replies have is_reply: true, replyto_comment_id (the comment they answer), and depth (1 for a reply, 2 for a reply to a reply). Without fetchAllComments, comments.top_comments holds the post's top comment, or nothing when includeTopComment is false.

Fields Facebook does not provide may be null, empty arrays, or empty objects. Engagement values are live and may change between runs.

Notes

• Fields that Facebook does not provide are returned as null, an empty array, or omitted depending on the field.
• Engagement values are live values and may change between runs.
• A Page may return fewer posts than requested if Facebook exposes fewer eligible posts or the selected timeframe is exhausted.
• The dataset contains post records; unavailable Page errors are not represented as post records.

Quick start

1. Add one or more public Page URLs.
2. Choose the number of posts per Page.
3. Optionally set postsNewerThan and includeTranscript.
4. Start the Actor and open the Dataset tab when the run completes.
