Facebook Photo Albums Scraper — Page Albums

The Actor collects a public Facebook Page's photo albums exactly as a logged-out visitor sees them on the Page's Photos tab. No Facebook account, login, or session cookie is used at any point.

Accepted input

page is required and accepts a list of Page usernames, numeric IDs, or full facebook.com/<page>/ URLs, one per line; duplicates are collapsed before any request is made. maxItems (default 50) bounds the number of albums saved per Page; 0 continues until Facebook stops returning a next page.

{
  "page": ["NASA", "https://www.facebook.com/unicef/"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

Result fields

Each row carries page, id, title, subtitle, url, imageUrl, and raw.

{
  "page": "NASA",
  "id": "1023004567890123",
  "title": "Artemis II — Splashdown",
  "subtitle": "48 photos",
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1023004567890123",
  "imageUrl": "https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/..."
}

subtitle is Facebook's own secondary line beneath the album title, typically the photo count, and is null when the album listing does not carry one. Individual photos inside an album are not returned by this Actor; each row is the album itself, not its contents.

raw carries the complete record Facebook returned, beyond what is broken out into its own field.

Behaviour on partial results

Each Page's list is a separate paginated series of requests. A Page that cannot be resolved — because the username or ID does not exist, or the Page is not public — is logged as a warning and skipped, and the run continues with the rest of the list.

Public, logged-out data only

Everything returned here is visible on the Page's own Photos tab to somebody who is not signed in. Albums a Page restricts to logged-in visitors are not returned.

Frequently asked questions

Are individual photos inside an album returned? No. Each row is one album — its title, cover image, and link — not the photos it contains. There is no public per-photo listing surface for this Actor to read.

Can photo albums and videos be collected in the same run? Not from this Actor: it covers photo albums only. Use the Facebook Videos Scraper for a Page's videos.

Is a Facebook account or login required? No. Only the Photos tab that Facebook already shows to a logged-out visitor is read.

What this is useful for

Archiving a Page's photo library outside Facebook's own retention; monitoring a competitor's or partner's publishing cadence across photo content; and building a media inventory — titles, counts, and links — without opening each album by hand.
