## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Facebook Photos Scraper (No Login)

> Scrape public Facebook page photos in bulk - full-resolution image URLs, thumbnails, photo IDs and Facebook's own alt-text captions on every photo. Built-in image descriptions, no separate OCR step or cost. No login, no cookies. JSON, CSV, Excel.

---

### Why this Actor

**Facebook's own alt-text on every photo - built-in image descriptions, no separate OCR step or cost.** The `accessibility_caption` field is the scene description Facebook generates for accessibility, returned natively for every photo. That is the "OCR text" other tools charge extra for, delivered free in every row.

**Full-res image URLs, not just thumbnails.** Both are returned, but `viewer_image` is the full-resolution CDN link.

Single-purpose atomic core with an opt-in page-context add-on: input a public Facebook page URL, get every public photo. Paginate as deep as the page goes. No login, no cookies, public pages only.

### Free plan limit

Free Apify users get up to **50 results per run**. Paying users are not affected and receive results normally.

This limit was set by the Actor developer, not by Apify. To remove it and receive unlimited results, upgrade to any paid Apify plan: https://apify.com/pricing

When a free plan run hits the cap, the Actor finishes successfully (status `SUCCEEDED`) and the run's status message explains what happened. No error is raised, so the first 50 results are fully usable as normal.

### Use cases

- **Vision and AI training sets** - bulk full-resolution image URLs with native captions (subject to the Terms of Service, see below)
- **Brand imagery audits** - review the photos a page is publishing
- **Visual content backup** - archive a page's public photo set
- **Competitive creative research** - study a competitor's published imagery
- **Image dataset building** - structured rows with captions, dimensions and URLs
- **Accessibility tooling** - use the native alt-text captions downstream

### Quick start

1. Click **Try for free** on this Actor's page.
2. Enter one or more public Facebook page URLs (for example `https://www.facebook.com/Spurs`).
3. Run the Actor.
4. Download results as JSON, CSV, or XLSX, or pull via Apify API.

### Inputs

| Input | Type | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | array of strings | yes | One or more public Facebook page URLs | `https://www.facebook.com/Spurs` |
| `maxPhotos` | integer | no | Stop after this many photos per page. Default 100, minimum 1 | `100` |
| `includeCaptions` | boolean | no | Facebook's native accessibility caption per photo. Included free. Default `true` | `true` |
| `includePageContext` | boolean | no | COST WARNING: billed add-on. Adds page name, category and follower/like counts. Default `false` | `false` |

### Sample output

A single photo row with the native caption populated next to the full-res `viewer_image_uri`:

```json
{
  "photo_id": "1428106402020495",
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1428106402020495&set=pb...&type=3",
  "viewer_image_uri": "https://scontent-.../full-res.jpg",
  "viewer_image_width": 1440,
  "viewer_image_height": 1800,
  "thumbnail": "https://scontent-.../s206x206.jpg",
  "accessibility_caption": "May be an image of basketball and text",
  "source_url": "https://www.facebook.com/Spurs",
  "_metadata": {
    "fetched_at": "2026-06-03T12:34:56.000Z",
    "source_url": "https://www.facebook.com/Spurs",
    "page": 1,
    "page_context_fetched": false
  }
}
````

When `includePageContext=true`, each row is also enriched with `page_name`, `page_category`, `follower_count`, `like_count`.

### FAQ

**Full resolution or thumbnails?** Both. `viewer_image_uri` is the full-resolution URL with `viewer_image_width` and `viewer_image_height`. `thumbnail` is the small version.

**What is the caption field?** `accessibility_caption` is Facebook's own auto-generated description of the image - effectively native alt-text or scene description. It is returned free on every row, so there is no need for a separate OCR step.

**How many photos per page?** As many as the page exposes publicly. Use `maxPhotos` to cap the run. The Actor paginates until it runs out of photos or hits the cap.

**Tagged or album photos?** This Actor focuses on a page's published photos. It does not separately enumerate tagged photos or per-album splits.

**Can it search photos by keyword?** No. It extracts a known page's photos. There is no keyword photo-search.

**Do I need a separate account?** No. You only need an Apify account.

**Is this legal?** This Actor accesses publicly visible photo data. Your downstream use of the data is your responsibility - see the Terms of Service section below.

**What about Facebook's anti-scraping enforcement?** Meta's Terms restrict automated extraction. Your downstream use must comply with Meta's Terms. See the Addendum.

**What if Meta sends a cease-and-desist?** Notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (https://apify.com/UnseenUser) and cease using this Actor immediately.

**Can I use this data to train AI?** NO. Meta's Terms prohibit AI training on Facebook data, and the images are copyrighted by their creators. See the Addendum, Section G.

**What about minors?** Facebook has many under-18 users, and photos may depict minors. This Actor's Terms strictly prohibit using data of users you know or suspect are minors. See the Addendum, Section I.

### Technical details

- Output: streamed via Apify dataset (JSON, CSV, XLSX, or via Apify API)
- Retries: 3 with exponential backoff on transient errors (429, 502, 503, 504)
- Pagination: deep, with both pagination tokens carried forward each loop, hard stop on `maxPhotos` and on missing tokens
- Per-page error isolation: a failed source URL never crashes the whole run; failures are emitted as dataset rows with an `error` field
- Image URLs are Facebook CDN links
- Live view: while a run is in progress, the Actor exposes a small live-view server with `/`, `/status` and `/healthz` endpoints (see the Actor's live view tab)

**Effective Date:** May 5, 2026

***

### 0. ACCEPTANCE BY USE - IMPORTANT

**Read this section first.**

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("User," "you," "your") and UnseenUser, the Publisher of this Apify actor ("UnseenUser," "the Publisher," "we," "us," "our").

#### 0.1 How You Accept These Terms

You accept these Terms by **any of the following actions**, each of which constitutes a clear, affirmative act of acceptance:

- (a) **Running the Actor** - Initiating any execution of the Actor on the Apify platform
- (b) **Using any output** returned by the Actor for any purpose
- (c) **Continuing to access** the Actor's listing or documentation after these Terms are visible

#### 0.2 Continuing Acceptance

#### 0.3 No Anonymous Acceptance

You cannot disclaim acceptance by:

- Failing to read these Terms before running the Actor
- Running the Actor through automated systems
- Sharing your Apify account with others who may not have read these Terms

By the act of running the Actor on Apify, you bind yourself, your organization (if applicable), and any individuals or systems acting on your behalf or under your authority.

#### 0.4 If You Do Not Accept

**If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not run the Actor.** No use is authorized without acceptance.

***

### PREAMBLE - UNDERSTANDING THE ARCHITECTURE

Before using the Actor, please understand the technical architecture of the service.

#### What Each Party Does

- **You (the User):** Run the Actor on the Apify platform with input parameters you choose.
- **Apify:** Operates the cloud infrastructure that hosts and executes Actors. Apify is a Czech-incorporated company (Apify Technologies s.r.o.) governed by its own Terms of Service.
- **The Publisher (us):** Publishes software code (the Actor) on Apify's platform. The Actor is a thin wrapper that translates your input into requests to upstream infrastructure and returns the responses to you. **The Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure. The Publisher does not store or retain data returned by the Actor. The Publisher does not see, log, or process the personal data of any individuals returned in the Actor's outputs beyond what is incidental to passing the data through.**
- **Source Platform:** Facebook (Meta). The platform whose publicly visible data is accessed.

#### Why This Matters

Your relationship with the Publisher is that of a **software user** to a **software vendor**. The Publisher has the responsibilities of a software vendor (functional code, accurate documentation) and the limits of one (the Publisher is not responsible for how you use the data you obtain).

***

These Terms operate alongside but do not replace:

- Apify's Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy (governing your relationship with Apify)
- Source Platform terms (Meta / Facebook) governing the public data accessed
- Applicable law in your jurisdiction and the jurisdictions of data subjects

These Terms incorporate the actor-specific addendum below ("Addendum"). In the event of a conflict, the more restrictive provision applies.

***

### 1. NATURE OF THE SERVICE

#### 1.1 What the Actor Is

The Actor is a software program published on the Apify platform. It accepts structured input from you on the Apify platform, returns response data to you in a structured format on the Apify platform, and runs in Apify's cloud, not on the Publisher's servers. The Publisher operates no servers running the Actor.

#### 1.2 What the Actor Is Not

The Actor is **not**:

- (a) A scraping tool operated by the Publisher - the Publisher does not operate scraping infrastructure, proxies, headless browsers, or fake accounts
- (b) A data storage or data retention service - the Publisher does not maintain a database of any data the Actor returns
- (c) A licensed access channel to Facebook or any other source platform
- (d) Affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by any source platform

#### 1.3 The Publisher's Limited Role

The Publisher's role is limited to:

- (a) Designing and writing the Actor's source code
- (b) Publishing the Actor on the Apify Store
- (c) Maintaining the Actor
- (d) Providing documentation and customer support via Apify's contact mechanism

The Publisher is a software vendor, similar to a developer who publishes an app on an app store. The Publisher is not a data provider, data broker, data processor, or data controller for purposes of GDPR, CCPA, Israel's Privacy Protection Law, or equivalent.

#### 7.4 Feedback

Feedback you provide may be used by the Publisher to improve products without compensation to you.

***

### 8. PRICING AND PAYMENT

Pricing is administered through Apify's pricing models. Apify processes all payments. Apify's payment terms govern refunds and disputes. The Publisher may change Actor pricing with at least 14 days' notice via the Actor's Apify listing. If your access is suspended or terminated for breach of these Terms, you forfeit any unused balance and are not entitled to refunds.

***

### 9. SERVICE AVAILABILITY AND CHANGES

The Actor depends on the Apify platform and on the Source Platform's continued public accessibility. Either may change behavior, restrict access, or become unavailable without notice.

THE ACTOR IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY OF DATA.

#### 10.2 No Representation of Lawfulness

The Publisher makes no representation that your specific use of the Actor or the data it returns is lawful in your jurisdiction or under any Source Platform's terms. The burden of determining lawfulness for your use case is yours.

#### 10.3 No Endorsement of Source Content

Content returned by the Actor was created by third parties. The Publisher does not endorse, verify, or take responsibility for it.

***

### 11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE PUBLISHER FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE ACTOR EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100), OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID THROUGH APIFY FOR USE OF THE ACTOR IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT.

#### 11.2 Excluded Damages

THE PUBLISHER IS NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

#### 11.3 Time Limit

Any claim must be brought within one (1) year of the event.

***

### 12. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Publisher from any claims arising from your use of the Actor, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law (including privacy law), your violation of any Source Platform's Terms of Service, your processing of personal data obtained through the Actor, and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of defending such claims. The Publisher may assume defense at your expense; you will cooperate with the Publisher's defense. The indemnification covers reasonable, foreseeable third-party claims arising from your use; it does not extend to claims arising from the Publisher's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or to claims regarding the Actor's source code itself.

***

### 13. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

## Actor-Specific Terms of Service Addendum - Facebook Photos Scraper

This addendum supplements the Master Terms of Service V4.0 above. By running this Actor, you accept both the Master ToS and this addendum.

#### A. Architectural Disclosure

This Actor is a software wrapper. It accepts your input parameters and returns the response data to you on the Apify platform. UnseenUser does not store, log, or substantively process the data returned.

#### B. Nature of Data Returned

This Actor returns Facebook page photo data: full-resolution image URLs, thumbnails, photo IDs, the photo page URL, and Facebook's native accessibility captions. When page context is enabled it adds page name, category and follower/like counts. Photos frequently depict identifiable people. Images of identifiable individuals are **personal data** subject to GDPR, CCPA, Israeli Privacy Protection Law (including Amendment 13), and equivalent privacy laws in your downstream processing - but **only in your hands as the data controller**, not in UnseenUser's hands as the software vendor. Facial images processed for the purpose of uniquely identifying a person can constitute biometric data under GDPR Article 9.

#### C. Permitted Use Cases

- Image dataset building - full-resolution URLs with native captions
- Visual content backup - archive a page's public photo set
- Brand imagery audit - review a page's published photos
- Vision/AI pipelines - feed images and captions into your pipelines, subject to Section G
- Competitor visual research - study published imagery
- Accessibility tooling - use native alt-text captions downstream

#### D. Specifically Prohibited Uses

In addition to Master ToS Section 4 prohibitions, you may NOT:

- Republish full-resolution images as your own (basic copyright infringement)
- Strip creator attribution before redistributing images
- Use images to build a competing image platform or stock library
- Process facial images to uniquely identify individuals (facial recognition) without a valid Article 9 lawful basis
- Train commercial AI/ML or vision models on these images without separate licensing authority
- Use images to create deepfakes or non-consensual depictions of identifiable people

#### E. Platform Terms of Service Considerations

Meta's Terms of Service prohibit automated extraction. Meta has aggressively litigated against scrapers. Your downstream use must independently comply with Meta's Terms of Service. If Meta issues a cease-and-desist regarding data obtained via this Actor, notify UnseenUser within 48 hours via the Apify profile contact form (https://apify.com/UnseenUser) and cease your use immediately.

#### F. Image Copyright - Full-Resolution Photos

Each photo is copyrighted by its creator. You may analyze images and quote/display thumbnails with attribution in limited, fair-use contexts, and use aggregated metadata (counts, captions as facts). You may NOT republish full-resolution images as your own, strip attribution, build competing image libraries, or use the images beyond analysis without explicit licensing from the rights holder. The native caption is descriptive metadata, but the image itself is a protected work.

#### G. AI Training and Vision Pipelines - Special Notice

Meta's Terms of Service prohibit using Facebook data to train AI/ML models without authorization. Images are no exception. The Publisher (UnseenUser) does NOT authorize, and has no ability to authorize, AI/vision training use. Recent litigation (Andersen v. Stability AI, Getty Images v. Stability AI, NYT v. OpenAI) shows training image and vision models on scraped content is heavily contested. Get proper licensing or do not train on these images. Your AI training use is your own legal exposure.

#### H. Images of Identifiable People - Personal Data and Biometric Caution

Page photos commonly show identifiable individuals. Treat such images as personal data: establish a lawful basis, apply data minimization (store only what you need), and set retention limits. Crucially, processing facial images for the purpose of uniquely identifying a person is biometric processing under GDPR Article 9 and requires a specific Article 9 lawful basis (and triggers heightened obligations under Israeli Amendment 13). Do not run facial recognition over these images without that basis.

#### I. Minor Protection - CRITICAL

Facebook has a significant under-18 user population, and photos may depict minors. You MUST:

- NOT use this Actor to scrape or process photos of users you know or suspect are minors
- NOT use this Actor for any product or service targeted at minors without parental-consent mechanisms compliant with COPPA (US), GDPR Article 8 (EU), and Israeli Privacy Law
- DELETE any image you discover depicts a minor unless you have valid parental consent
- NEVER use images of minors in any sexualized or exploitative context - this is illegal everywhere and strictly prohibited

If a photo or its page context suggests a subject is under 18, treat the image as depicting a minor by default. This restriction is non-negotiable.

#### J. Data Subject Rights and Cease-and-Desist Protocol

Individuals depicted in photos have rights under GDPR / CCPA / Israeli Privacy Law: access, deletion, objection, rectification, and portability. Honor these with a typical 30-day SLA. If a data subject contacts YOU directly demanding deletion of an image of them, honor it promptly, do NOT route them to UnseenUser, you may suggest they contact Meta directly since the data originates there, and document the request and your response. If Meta or a regulator contacts UnseenUser regarding your use, UnseenUser may suspend access pending investigation, and you agree to provide documentation of your lawful basis on reasonable request.

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.facebook.com/Spurs"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("unseenuser/fb-photos").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "startUrls": ["https://www.facebook.com/Spurs"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("unseenuser/fb-photos").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
