Facebook Search Scraper
Search publicly indexed Facebook posts, pages, profiles and local businesses by keyword. The Actor runs over HTTP through Apify's Google Search proxy, so it does not need a Facebook account, cookies, a browser or an authenticated Graph API token.
What it returns
- Public Facebook post URLs with indexed titles and snippets
- Public Page and profile URLs
- Location-focused results for places and local businesses
- Raw date labels when the public index exposes them
- Query, result type, position and collection timestamp for every row
Input
The input is compatible with danek/facebook-search-ppr for the core fields.

query | string | Keyword or phrase to search |
search_type | string | posts, pages, places, or global |
max_posts | integer | Maximum unique results (5-1,000) |

Important limitations
This is public web-index search, not Facebook's personalized logged-in search. Results are limited to Facebook content visible to search engines, ranking and coverage can differ from facebook.com, and newly published or de-indexed content may be missing. Date filters apply to the public search index; date_text is returned as displayed rather than converted into a guessed publication timestamp. Private profiles, closed groups, login-only posts and deleted content are intentionally unavailable.
The Actor accesses only public URLs. Use personal data lawfully and in accordance with Facebook's terms and applicable privacy laws.
