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.

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.
