Choose a mode

Mode	Input	Output
PAGES_AND_POSTS	Page URLs or a mixed list with direct post URLs	Page profiles and matching publications
PAGES_ONLY	Page URLs	Profiles, contacts and optional transparency details
POSTS_ONLY	Page URLs	Matching posts without an extra Page row
DIRECT_POSTS	Direct post, photo, video or reel URLs	The requested publication when accessible

maxItems is the global number of successfully saved Page and post rows. maxPostsPerPage is the number of matching, unique publications per Page. Filters and duplicates do not consume the result allowance.

Cookie access

Public collection works without cookies where Facebook makes the content available. To use your existing Facebook session, paste its cookies into the encrypted Facebook cookies field. Supported formats are a Cookie header, a JSON browser export and Netscape cookies.txt. An authenticated session requires both c_user and xs.

Cookies remain secret input and are not included in results or logs. An expired or checkpointed session is reported in the run summary. A cookie session can access only content available to that account.

Filters and options

Option	Purpose
startDate, endDate	Inclusive calendar-date range in YYYY-MM-DD; the end date includes the whole UTC day
captionText	Case-insensitive text filter for post text, captions and titles
includePageDetails	Published Page creation date, ad status and confirmed owner information
includePageMedia	When timeline pagination is unavailable, also collect matching photo/video publications from the Page's media tabs
includeRawJson	Adds the selected source record as JSON for advanced integrations

captionText filters post text; it does not transcribe audio. Photo/video fallback publications are identified by their own source URLs. They are not guaranteed to be the next chronological timeline posts.

Find the strongest posts in your sample

The included Top posts in sample dataset groups saved posts by Page and provides:

• The number of saved posts and posts with complete interaction metrics.
• Median interactions across measurable posts.
• Top post URLs, their interaction counts and their multiple of the sample median.

totalInteractions = reactions + comments + shares. It is calculated only when all three counts are available. Missing metrics are never treated as zero. This is a comparison of the collected sample, not reach-based engagement, historical performance or a prediction.

Output and exports

Start with Results, then choose Page profiles & contacts, Posts & media or Top posts in sample. Within the grouped datasets, use the contacts, transparency, engagement, media and preview-comment views. Export the desired dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel from Apify.

Results are saved as they arrive. The OUTPUT run summary records source availability, filters, saved counts and the stopping reason. Diagnostics and the engagement comparison are not charged as additional result rows.

Pricing and budget

Saved Page or post rows use the result rate shown in Apify Console, including any applicable plan discount. Page transparency and the sample engagement comparison are included in that rate. Actor start remains $0.00005 per charged start unit.

From September 23, 2026 at 11:14:59 UTC, platform usage is billed separately from result events. Result-event prices remain unchanged. Check the Console's current price details before a run.

Set a maximum run charge in Apify. Collection stops when the remaining budget cannot cover another result. Retries, result limits and no-progress handling also bound unnecessary work.

Frequently asked questions

Will every Page have every field? No. The Actor returns what Facebook publishes for the requested Page, publication and session. Missing fields are omitted; explicit zero and false values are preserved.

Are likes and followers interchangeable? No. Each field uses its own source value. The Actor does not fill a missing likes count with followers.

Does it return all comments or video transcripts? It includes preview comments exposed with a post and original source captions/descriptions. It does not promise a complete comment feed or audio transcription.

Can I use the API? Yes. Use the Actor's Apify API integration with the same JSON input and retrieve the resulting datasets.
